Old thread, I know. I'm replacing a bad dash speaker as well. How do I measure it? Or better yet, what is the measurement of the football shaped dash speaker on a 73 F100? I'll also put in a pair of door speakers, other posts mention 6 1/2" speakers for the doors, are those round speakers or football shaped as well?
Thanks

i dont know if youre interested but there is a speaker out there that fits the stock location but has 2 small speakers built into the same package. its supposed to give some pretty good sound versus a single 5x7. i think i saw it in custom classic truck magazine in the sponsor section, or maybe in a catalog. im sure someone else has seen it also.

Quote: I found some replacements on JC Whitney, the holes look right, is 5x7 the right size?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But does it come with the special *Latching system Bracket* to be held in place ?
or
are you going to just try installing it another way ?
One guy thought he was going to fasten it up the usual way.
He put 4 sheet metal screws right through the metal package tray area on the dash where the speaker grill is.

Sorry if i'm a little audio stupid
. I've never had a reason to replace a car speaker until now. The radio in my truck is an AM only Philco so I dont need anything fancy dancy. If this JCW isnt the correct size, what is my best bet? LMC has a replacement, but its around $50. Should I just get the factory radio reconed?
