The factory door speakers had been bad on my 91 when I bought her, and I finally got around to fixing everything. I did not want to find used factory speakers that may fail again some day and may be even harder to find, so I decided to go with the following approach:
- SOS Door Speaker Adapter Kit
- Pioneer 6.5" component speakers
The problem with this, is that the factory door speakers had an integrated amp that I now needed to replace. I wanted to avoid having to mount an amp somewhere visible in the car and running wiring all over the place. That led me to the below solution:
- Alpine KTP-445U Power Pack
The power pack actually fits perfectly behind the center console under the climate control unit, so I was able to avoid having to install an amp in the truck and run all of that wiring... I'm very happy with the sound and the fact that the doors now support universal component speakers for the future.
Just wanted to share my experiences in case anyone finds themselves heading down the same road in the future.
Cheers!
