Re: dash speakers

i'm not sure if it differed from 85 to 86, but mine were 4x6 in the dash and 4x10 behind the seat @cab corners. i replaced with kicker ds460 for the dash and ks4100 for the cab corners. sound pretty good.

Re: dash speakers

watch for magnet size on the driver dash speaker. the ones i have are pretty big and i ran into issues reinstalling the gauges becasue i had to mount them from the bottom. i also stuck 4" 2-ways in mine

Re: dash speakers

I put a set of 5 1/4 seperates in the dash of my 87; the two woofers in the center hole, and the tweeters in the outboard holes. Worked out pretty well.
