Subject:Re: Vancafe "Factory" Vanagon Rear Speakers: Upgrade?

Not sure if yours is a sarcastic reply or just realization that the factory
originals are small. I believe that the 3.5" speakers I mentioned do give a
crisp sound but obviously with something that small its more top end than
bass. You asked if there was anything better higher powered to fit and
that's the question I answered.
