Where can I get a oem-EXACT or one that fits right am-fm radio speaker for my baby ? I bought one from I think Mid America , it looks like it will fit with the bracket , but it is way too wide , I'm not going to cut anything to make it fit , thanks !

There is a company that makes a speaker that is supposed to fit the factory location without trimming, can't remember it though!

Do you have, or can you get an original speaker? You can have them reconed, rebuilt for not much money.

There are aftermarket Corvette parts stores which sell a direct replacement of the 4x10 kickpanel speaker for the '68 & '69 cars. I'm not sure which vendor catalog I've seen them in, but they are available. They even have the metal strip attached near one end to assist in mounting them.

If CF vendors sell them, they will likely post their info. If not, other posters will eventually come up with which vendor has them.

P.S. You might want to re-title this thread as "Need '69 C3 radio speakers". The present title is not specific enough for some folks to bother reading.

I used speakers from these guys. S/M Electro-Tech Inc. (763) 780-2861
www.turnswitch.com 4x10 speakers that look just like the originals, 8-10 Ohms and fit perfect.

Watch on e-bay for used oem speakers - as indicated before, might have to recone. NOS GM speakers seldom come up on ebay. I have sets of both.

The original OEM speakers were not that good. Modern speakers take advantage of higher power [small] magnets, synthetic cone materials, etc. Buy new speakers.

P.S. If you still have the original Delco radio, install speakers with 8-10 ohm impedence. Installing lower impedence speakers will cause the amp to be overloaded and lead to very early failure. Also, purchase 'low wattage' (efficient) speakers (25-50 watts). The Delco head only puts out about 16 watts TOTAL! If you stick inefficent speakers (capable of 100 watts or more) with the Delco head, the output volume will be very weak.

i'll try to get new if possible ( Sam Sound ? ) I'm NOT cutting anything on my ride , it's a 1000% stock , ( first new car ) , she has 22000 miles on her , smells like the day I drove her out of Konners Chevy , still see the guy that sold her to me , been a real trip !!

That's great. But wouldn't it sound much better with reasonably good speakers? And, they can't be seen, so who really knows, but you.....
