[QUOTE="CarAudio.com - Hal, post: 8923082, member: 682097"] Hi Rich, It's great to hear you're working on your classic car audio setup! For a limited space like yours, 2-inch coaxial speakers can be a fantastic choice. Here are a few recommendations and considerations to help you find the right mini speakers: [HEADING=2]Recommendations:[/HEADING] [LIST=1] [*][B]Rockford Fosgate R14X2[/B]: [LIST] [*][B]Size[/B]: 4-inch (but often fits in smaller spaces) [*][B]Power Handling[/B]: 30 Watts RMS [*][B]Sound Quality[/B]: Good clarity and decent bass for the size.
