I would be suprised if they really are, lol. My rears are not 6x9 even though the hole is.

Sorry I can not help though.

I may have one from my T/A. Should be the same speaker. I will check to see if it is still lying around.
I had one die and replaced both with a pair of high efficiency Alpines. I did have to adjust the Fade a little to balance it out, but they work well.
Curse GM for their non-standard speaker ohm's!

Heh, that's about $40 more than they're worth! Dealer quoted me $90+ for one last year. I never thought of checking online. Of course, the Alpines cost me $100 for the PAIR, so I'm not complaining.

I sure wish they made them out of quality materials so they'd last.

The guys that installed my MB Quarts down in CA must have thrown one out by accident...

I've never blown one myself.... Can't justify a audio system upgrade in the Formula at this point, so I'm sticking with stock parts.

The one I replaced was blown when I got the car.

I have got some aplines waiting to drop in for replacement in my stock locations. You are welcome to one of the ones coming out.

Yours are componets up front, right? (Seperate woofer and tweeter) If so they won't work. But thank you anyways.

I didn't blow one either. They fall apart. Just paper and low quality foam surrounds. El Cheapo materials not designed for the exposure of a vehicle. They'd probably last much, much longer in an indoor setting.
Just frustrating that a proprietary piece is of such poor quality with no option to replace it except an identical piece or a "not quite" replacement. Oh well.

Yep, sorry. I did find it though, so if anyone wants it they can have it.
