Hello, I have a factory AM radio in my ‘72 Valiant. The original speaker under the dash is blown out. Disintegrating. It appears to be about a 3x9 dimensionally. I have not been able to find something comparable. Any ideas? I would prefer to keep this interior stock. Thanks |

I suspect that the speaker you want is actually a 4x10. That is a normal size. Haven't had a 72 in my stable in a long time so I cant recall or check its size. |

They used the 4x10 in the dash on many models over the years My 78 fury has it as well Thee used to be a member here who made a plate that would bolt in place of the original speaker and would house 2 (I think 4") round ones and be hidden by the original speaker grill. He offered them for sale here on the forum, back then. I haven't seen him post in forever/ about that or anything else. |

Thanks guys. Ok I will look for a 4x10. Have a silly 6x9 zip tied under the ashtray. Did new carpet and seats, so trying to make it look great once again. |

I've had good luck with retro sound speakers. Have them in my 64 Dart and 66 D100. https://www.retromanufacturing.com/coll ... md_Valiant |

I actually bought one of those plates for our old '73 Duster. It worked great. They wouldn't be hard to reproduce. |
