R & R 3S dash speakers?

[j2k4]

Yes, indeed.

Never mind the rest of the system for now, but Steve (2fnloud) and Bob (OhioSpyderman) have helped me to kill a few birds with these stones-


Two each Vifa NE65W-04 2" Full Range Woofers Vifa NE65W-04 2" Full Range Woofer 264-1046, set me back about $64 before shipping-



These were purchased to replace the stock 1G dash-mounts and augment a 2.1 component system I am converting to 3.1.

Steve rooted these out for me, and they share some fortunate coincidences of dimension with the stock speakers and prompted a few chat exchanges with Bob, who offered two of these-



-2G Infinity (1st iteration) units as surgical candidates.

These are different from the standard 1G units in a way that makes them, at this point, and as far as I know, the best option for my purposes, because of-



-the little nubbins that secure the speaker to the nacelle I wish to salvage.

Grinding them down separated things-



-and allowed me to size things up.

The best ID/OD measurements I could take from the empty nacelles and the new Vifas put the speaker at +.010, so game on-





A quick peek at new vs. old, and the depth looks good for the in-dash fit - I used my index finger to index that, btw - but here's what counts-
