I'm going retro. �I found original speakers in an '89 in a local junkyard and grabbed them for my doors to replace the "upgraded' ones with the newer stereo the PO installed in our '87 Westy. �Tired of knocking the grilles off them and scraping my knuckles when winding the windows down or up.
I know about the Cabrio rear window handle extenders and other options but I found these first so will try this approach. I don't listen to music so do not think these oldsters will affect the quality of NPR talk listening. �I could be wrong.

Well, it's Friday, so why not.���I searched the archives for the past two
years and found a couple of posts:���Alistair (Boston Acoustic separates)
and Dennis (6x9s in bottom of door).

Just wondering if you are still satisfied or if anyone has other ideas.� I'm
thinking of the Pioneer speakers Go Westy sells (but from Amazon) for the
rear, but I'm open to ideas for the front.� Pioneers plus a 6x9, or matched
separates?

The last time I installed 6x9s in the door the grille was flimsy and I kept
kicking it off getting out of the van, so I won't make that mistake again.

Thanks for sharing your experiences!
