Hey guys, until recently, my AM radio in my 66 Belvedere has been working great. I removed the speaker only to find that there was almost nothing left of the cone. I hooked it up to a small battery and no dice so it is confirmed dead. The bolt pattern is 3.5x7?? I thought that these cars came with 4x10. I can't find anything even remotely similar to this odd size.
I set that aside and just wanted to make sure that the radio was still good too since I already had everything apart behind the glove box. I took a spare 6.5" round speaker I had lying around and touched the two wires that went to the stock speaker to it just to make sure I had juice going to it from the radio. Nothing. When these original speakers are installed do they need to be grounded to the car at all?
Basically, where can I find a stock speaker for this car and how can I test the radio to see if buying a new speaker for it will actually get it working again? Thanks, Nick
