Well,  not to many answers yet regarding my last inquiry about a way to
replace  my OEM speakers door. I have a Syncro 1991 with electric windows, so
the  windows handle is not so much an issue. But even then, I still looking
for  a pair of speakers with the mountain grill not to deep. Any suggested
brand (exact model please) and places to buy from. No one seems to carry
those here in Canada so I'm looking to buy them online if  possible.

Hi JP,
I don't know if you caught my email to the list on my speakers,
but I bought some nice 4 in Sony's,
Cut the Face Off of the Original speakers (they are one piece)
and bolted the Original Face to the new Sony's.
Works like a charm, took about 1 hour to do the whole thing.
Even though the handles are not an issue,
There is still all of the cutting and re-drilling of the door panels,
and you still need to clear the dash.
