as I still haven't even gotten around to replacing the corpse of the sony receiver, that is missing faceplate, ( still trying to figure out how th get it out)I am wondering what the concensus on keeping the stock Alfa 20 watt speakers, or change to more modern speakers when I get new receiver...I am also looking at a marine reciever. moisture resistent. as I am finding so much corosion, maybe that is one less issue...thanks guys 92 spider

there is absolutely no reason to keep the stock speakers.

speakers these days are not expensive compared to many years ago.

even entry level inexpensive speakers will sound better than what was installed from the factory.

see what i did to my 92:

+1 for everything lgbalfa said. Unless there is some high-end system installed in a car, the factory speakers are generally barely adequate.

I would also definitely second lgbafa's recommendation (at the other thread) of Polk Audio spkrs. I replaced some factory Honda speakers in my wife's daily-driver many years ago with a pair from PA. After many years of neglect/dust, fog/moisture (hatch leaks a bit), and sun (big window - and yes, we do get some in SF) they have yet to miss a.. beat (*groan*). Of course, that's still not going to expose them to the elements to the degree that a Spider would.

The best part, as I recall, was the orig. generic/stealth wire mesh covers actually fit over the new (5-1/4" round (?)) spkrs. perfectly with the addition of exactly 1 layer of electrical tape around the cone housing's edge. But, of course, YMMV.

cool. I willl look into doing the speakers also. I do not blast my music, as a mater of fact, on a long drive I like to listen to language lessons, and audio books, so clearity would be good...thanks for the advice. by the way, your car is beautiful.
