Single speaker, center dash

[78C10BigTen]

Anyone know the size of the single speaker in the center (top) of the dash in a 78. If the year matters.

4x10 iirc.

Ok dou you happen to know how to add speakers (if possible) to a factory radio with a single speaker? Is there a thread by chance?

 

[CSFJ]

Haven't done anything like that since high school. Don't recall it being too difficult though.

Is it a stock mono radio or a stereo?

Probably the same as mine. You should be able to just splice the rear speaker wires in to the center speaker wire, and run all 3. I am getting ready to do the same thing, I just pulled the original speaker out and am getting ready to order a replacement. The original was really trashed, it's amazing it still worked!

Are you buying the corner mounts or making you own? I think I am going to try making my own, they look pretty simple.

I just took mine out of my 80 K20 to put in my 78 K10. I want to keep the dash original on the 78. Not too worried about the 80 right now, it's off the road for a rebuild, will worry about a radio for it when I get it back on the road. I am hoping to make something similar to these:

I've seen an adapter that has two 4" speakers in it. Psst...it's in my truck.

Crutchfield has one that fits in the dash also.
