'84 300sd Speakers?
Anyone know what an '84 300sd has relative to speaker size and replacements? I understand "clearance" to be a challenge on the fronts which I understand may be close to 4 x 6". Rears? Don't know.
I'm all ears on any suggestions.

My speakers are not terrible (either orig or replaced some time ago), however, I care to replace same... A lil' krappy on lo-end sounds.

If I remember correctly I put Alpine 4x6 speakers in all four corners. Had to make some spacer/grills for the rears but they do not look out of place. Sounds much better than what I had but I had all original stereo prior to that. I put in an Alpine head unit at that time.

Look up Infinity 6412CF, 6422CF, 6432CF, basically the same model with slight changes over a couple years. They fit perfectly for me with only minor cutting of the speaker's bracket. I'm happy with the sound, but I also have a Boss BASS600 velcroed to the rear shelf.
