RE: 5K speaker replacement

["Lewis, Gary M" <Gary.Lewis@West.Boeing.com>]

Hi Duane,
I put 6.5" in the doors, and 5.25" in the dash.  You will need to drill the
door panels, but the holes are inside the diameter of the stock speaker
cover, so if you wanted to replace the stock speakers you could.  If you put
larger drivers in the dash I'd suggest a resistor network to turn them down.
I couldn't hear the 6.5's with the volume the 5.25's were making, so I made
a resistor crossover network to crank them down about 30-40%.
HTH,
Gary
