Restoring a Blazer under dash speaker?
Any idea if there is a way to restore a 69-72 Blazer under dash speaker? I have the original mount and speaker for my 1972 Blazer, but the speaker cone has been punctured.
There must be someone, somewhere that can do this......?! Thanks |

Re: Restoring a Blazer under dash speaker?
If your near or in Sacramento use Ray's Auto Stereo, 1925 "F" St., Sacramento, CA 95811. (916) 447-9753. I just had them fix my stock AM radio and re-cone the stock speaker. Works like new. They are a little slow, took about six weeks, to get them back and a little pricey but they work great. They fix any old stereo/speaker. Good Luck

How much to re-cone? I have one I stuffed tissue in the holes on back when I painted it and the cone was so rotted it was full of punctures when I pulled the tissue out

Not sure how much the re-cone was by itself since they did my radio/speaker at the same time and I got a "package" deal. Lucky me  I think it would be about $70 just for the re-cone.

Re: Restoring a Blazer under dash speaker?
You might also want to consider the new speakers sold by SM Electro-Tech at http://www.turnswitch.com/speakers.htm
I used one of their 4" x 10" rectangle speakers in my 74 Nova. It fit right into the existing dash location using the original mounting bracket. I believe 67-72 trucks use this same size dash speaker as well. They're about $60. |
