Re: 6x8 speakers in rear

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Did you really mount 6x8's in the rear? Recently ordered 4x10's but
received 6x8's in error. Am debating whether to send back. Have been
told 6x8 won't fit (never opened trim panels so don't know myself).
6x8 does have better frequency specs than 4x10.

BTW for curious: 5x7/6x8 is dual mount for Ford conversions. 6x8 is
actual max outside dimension.
