Dash Radio Speaker Question?

My 71 Convert was missing the original under the dash center speaker and mounting bracket and harware.

-Does anyone have the bracket and hard ware they can part with?

I am using the factory am/fm radio and understand it needs to use a 10ohm speaker. All the speakers I have are 4ohm and 6ohm.

-Will they work? If not where can I get a 10ohm speaker and what size is the original one?

Thanks in advance for any info.

Steve,

I ended up purchasing the speaker from Turnswitch. Good call. Nice piece.

Big score. The only thing left in a shell of a 71 cutlass at the junk yard was the original under dash speaker and bracket and radio speaker plug.

New question. I didn't pay attention to how the speaker was up there. Its a rectangle with one side having 45 degree corners cut off. Does the 45 side go towards the firewall or away from it?

Good day at the junk yard.

45 corners are away from the firewall.
