73 Mustang Speaker Question

[mojomach73]

Hello all,
I was wondering whether anyone knows what the speaker size is of the speaker that goes inside the dash panel of a 71-73 mustang. Any info would be appreciated.

Seems like it is 5x7. I replaced the one in my dash with a pair of 3 inch speakers which I attached to the original speaker grill. It sounds much better with the two seporate speakers.

Thanks for the info. What exactly did you do to attach those 3inch speakers? Do you hear any vibration or rattle? This idea sounds interesting.

I fabricated my own mounting bracket for a 5x7 because it was an extra good speaker that I had. I did have one of the custom audiosound dual speaker pod, but it blew out within 2 weeks and they wouldn't exchange or take it back POS.
