Hello,
I'm going to send a 70 am radio out to be converted to FM with external aux. jacks. It's going to keep its stock am appearance.

My question is..What's the best speaker to install in place of the original single speaker. I don't want to modify anything. I just want a decent sound coming from the dash.
Thanks!

Is anybody using this speaker?

I'm wondering if these would fit??

heres what i have in my dash http://www.rickscamaros.com/camaro-dual-voice-coil-speaker-front-custom-autosound-1970-1981.html

The problem with the speaker shown by RED78Z is that it is a dual voice coil, so it requires a stereo radio. The DELCO AM is 1 mono channel. The issue with those dual front replacement speakers is that they also require a stereo radio, or you can run the speakers in series wiring because DELCO radios need at LEAST 8 Ohm speakers or you'll burn up the output stage quickly. The other problem is that you get a LOT less speaker cone area with those conversions. It'll sound like crap. What I suggest is going on EBAY, search DELCO SPEAKER. Get a 4x10 coaxial speaker. It is 10 Ohm, so the radio will be happy. It fits the factory dash opening and has a lot more speaker cone area, so you'll get more volume and better low range. If you use the factory mount bracket, it requires modification as the speaker is a newer model and uses a large magnet compared to the period small magnet type. I put one on my dash and it sound vey very decent for sure! I'm installing the matching single rear 6x9 coax from a '75 soon, as my radio is AM/FM mono with a fader. BTW...if you want to add a rear speaker, DELCO made a fader control for the 70-up mono radios that allowed you to add a single rear package tray speaker. It's a 3 to 4 hr job start to finish to add the speaker, run the wires and add the fared. It just slips over the right radio shaft, uses a plug and a wire extension tot he trunk. You can piece the whole thing, with correct speaker, wires, fader etc for about $100 on Ebay. It's the same parts the factory or Dealer would have used.

All, thanks for your input on speaker selection.

Bikefixr,
The conversion will be to FM stereo. The radio will be gutted and new electronics installed so I assuming the new electronics is compatible with newer speakers.
