Honestly, I don’t really see the infatuation with the whole stock oem thing and the none bleed pricing. A lot of the older stock oem stuff doesn’t look good or function well, worthless garbage like those speakers for $860. $600 cheap plastic door panels and waiting for years, they probably cost less than $20 to manufacture in China.

If we ran out of oil or if the government said no more combustion, we all would have a bunch of worthless boat anchors which will inevitably happen some day likely not in our lifetime but never say never.

I guess it’s the supply/demand curve at it’s finest peak; less demand would drive down prices.

I just bought a 1980 K5 that had these door speakers. One cover was missing and the other was pretty roached. I had a friend 3d print some for me and he has a couple sets on EBay if anyone is looking for some. He has them priced cheap.

Very nice! They aren't exact reproductions it looks like, but sure beats a blank!

Are they sold in singles or in pairs?

1980 only… Well that’s no fun. What about the rest of us that want door mounted instead of behind the seat…???

Behold, the “borrowed from elsewhere” solution… Keep your door cards as issued, get rid of the horrible dust inducing mess on your lower doors (carpet), and run real speakers instead of 4x10s firing into the seat…

Just a thought for us dinosaurs that don’t have a 3d printer or wear too big a boot for kick panel mounted…
