speaker size for 73 road runner

[73roadchicken]

hey guys does anyone know the correct speaker size for the dash and back tray speakers on a 73 roadrunner?

Rear is probably a 6X9. The front? Well, through 70 they used a 4X10". Yours might be the same

im wondering if i should either keep my original radio or switch to a din radio. i wouldn't remove the original radio but i would just try to find a under dash kit.

There's a really cool (but not exactly cheap) system called SecretAudio (I think it is) It has a display that you can mount, has an RF remote (so you don't have to mount the display) and the whole thing mounts out of sight. I've installed a couple of these and they're great. You can do just a radio, or there is also a CD changer available for the system as well.

Yanno...its been over a year since I bought one and I really don't remember. I think the radio part is maybe $250? I remember the CD changer was as much as the radio.

As far as an install goes, I mounted the unit under the front seat (radio on passenger's side) and ran the cables under the carpet. Then if I was gonna add the changer it would go under the driver's seat so it was easy for them to get to.

I replaced the missing front speaker on my 70 with a pair of good modern 3 1/2" round speakers. I now have "stereo" in front and better sound than a single paper cone 4x10. I did it a while ago, think I was able to use the original studs for the factory speaker with fat washers under the nuts to mount the new speakers. No cutting involved!

It would cost less to go on ebay and buy a factory am/fm w/ cassette player and put a cd polayer in the glove box. In fact there is a glove box liner on ebay right now that alredy has the cd cut out in it. You could save yours for future.
