Good info. Going to look at those Polk plates at a local shop.
Where did that list come from? The Kickers are available but I'd need to see them in person. May try that. The Jensens will fit, and they're very cheap, but they're crap. I may end up with them. The Alpine 406's won't fit. The 406a's will. Going to research the others.
Yes, I may be interested in yours. When are you making the switch?

My speakers are available anytime. The car is sitting, waiting for me to start working on it again and I have the replacement front door speakers ready to go in now.

Go to a shop that has a good reputation in your area. Let them show you what they have. If they dont have any that will fit, they should be able to order something for you. It is such an easy speaker to install and usually you can find a basic co-ax speaker and have it installed for about $100.00
For a shop that has good installer this is basic 101. By the way 4x6s are one of the worst size for a speaker besides a 3 1/2. You are never going to get Good midrange out of them. Most companies dont even make a high end 4x6.
That size has not been used in new cars in years. That I can remember.
GM was probably one manufacter that I can remember using that size.

I have the late model front speaker grilles. From what I have read and heard, they give you more clearance. So, while it may not be what your particular car came with stock, they are still technically period-specific and stock for 944s. Not the greatest picture, but here they are:

Here you go guys:

I ordered a set of these and had them shipped from the UK. Took about 10 days.
After trying a dozen sets of speakers, I'm happy to report that these are truly a drop-in solution. Perfect fit with no bulging of the grills. And they sound great.

Historically, the easiest 'late' replacement were the Kenwood 4x6s. That's what I went with for my S2 and they definitely drop in with zero fitment problems.
