I posted a week or so ago regarding replacing the crackling 20 year old speakers in the dash of my '87 BroncoII. After not finding anything suitable at WALMART, I bit the proverbial bullet, checked the sizing chart in the TRS Tech Section, and ordered a pair of Pioneer 3 1/2" TS-A878 speakers (I wanted to have speakers in hand - $46/pr. delivered).
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the speakers in the dash (factory) are NOT 3 1/2" as listed in the Tech section. They appear to be something closer to 5" (they do not appear to be 5 1/4"), and have three (not two, not four) mounting holes. So . . .
Has anybody replaced their front in-dash '87-ish speakers with after-market units? If so, what make and model and source? I would prefer a set of low-end Pioneer's, but cannot find anything in 5", or with a three hole pattern.
As usual, any help appreciated. Thanks.
