[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8766673, member: 614752"] The Boston Pro series I owned back in those days looked like these: [URL]https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item-10210-Boston-Acoustics-ProSeries-6.53-Pro-6.5-sup-3-sup.html[/URL] Very different frame on that woofer. Then again, I'm not sure when they switched from whatever they used previously? Those were build in Peabody, MA and of very high quality. Not to be the bearer of bad news, but even if they are real, you probably won't do well with 20+ year old component speakers. It is likely the suspensions are soft/sagging just from age and ferrofluid in the tweeters may be dried out. In short they probably will not perform as they did new and they may fail prematurely. As much as the old Boston Pro (the real made in USA ones) were some of the best sounding speakers I've ever owned, I would not try to install a vintage set of these in a vehicle today. [/QUOTE]
