Ok, let's see...My family has a 1977 Chevrolet Silverado Special 10, with air, cruise, tilt, and buckets with a console. The truck has never had a radio in it since we've owned it, but I rencently aquired a 1984 Delco 4ch am/fm/cassette radio with a digital tuner (an original shaft-style radio from a Silverado), fully rebuilt and warrantied by a local car audio shop. Now, the thing is, we've got like 30 year old blaupunkt 4x6's in the bottom front of the doors which were wired with lamp cord, and were blown/seized years ago. Since there are already holes cut out of the steel in the door, and I want to re-use the holes (willing to go bigger for bigger speakers), but my parents wanna spend very little on putting speakers in the truck. I've already looked at places like cash converters and whatnot, and there wasn't really anything available with grilles in either a 5x7, or 6x9 that was under 100 bux (and in decent shape still). The best deal I've seen so far ar the 6x9's sold at canadian tire for $69.99. They sound good and come with grilles, mounting hardware and speaker wire too. I just wonder if there are any other deals out there for a decent speaker. I figure that 6x9's would be the size to go with since they will be the only speakers for now. Or maybe 6.5" to replace the 4x6's....what do you think? Any suggestions? We are likely going to add a self-powered bazooka tube to the truck later this year...
