WTB front speaker for 1970 oldsmobile

Looking to buy NOS or OEM front speaker for my 1970 442 car. Let me know what you have or if their is a good after market speaker for these cars that fit. Right now car is getting restored so putting in now will be easy .

For aftermarket, the DVC 4x10 fits well in the mono speaker location in the front dash. These are sold by various outlets online; this particular visual is from Custom Autosound.



Hope this helps.

It appears the owner/operator of turn switch passed away and business has been "in transition" Who knows if they will be back?

If you are going to use the factory radio make sure that the speaker is a 10 ohm, aftermarket speakers tend to be 4 ohm, if you use them you will burn out the output transformer on the factory radio.

Good point first442, I failed to mention the DVC speaker was used with a modified radio.
