I HAVE A 75 THAT NEEDS THE FRONT SPEAKERS REPLACED-COULD ANYBODY GIVE ME SOME TIPS ON THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS-I RUN AN IPOD THROUGH A POWER AMP WITH TWO 6X9S WITH A SUBWOOFER-THIS THING WILL PUT OUT SOME KILLER SOUND BUT ITS ALL FROM THE REAR-C3STARSHIP I KNOW YOU WILL HAVE SOME INPUT ON THIS ONE-THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

 

Hi BAILEYREN, on my '78 the front speakers can be accessed from the top of the dash, I don't know about the '75 'cause the dashboard was changed for the '78 model, the speaker grills snap out and speakers are held in with screws.

 

Hi BAILEYREN and welcome again, if your 75 is like my 74, you have to remove the trim around the windshield, then drop the steering wheel and remove the left and right lower dash, then you have to remove the top dash to get to the speakers. All the steps are in the Haynes Manual. With two 6 X 9's a subwoffer and an amp, your in good shape already. How big an amp? A 60-60? PG.

 

Thanks for the confidence, but I have an '80. I took a look and mine is like Buckshot's. Sorry I can't be of more help. [&o]
Sounds like pg has a handle on it though.

 

I'll add a note to PG's great info... solder the damn connectors to the speaker terminals. After spending weeks rebuilding my dash, center console, and guages... I discovered that while running wires and screwing around under the dash, I apparently unplugged one of the driver's side speaker wires. Unfortunately, one of the things that I installed was an upper dash pad, so there is no longer an easy way to access the speaker to reattach it! I'll have to take the entire dash up a couple inches next week to get to the damn thing fixed before Carlisle (like ripping apart half of the work that I already buttoned up all pretty and shiny). Can't make that trip without "The Best of Earth Wind and Fire" blaring from my brand new (manufactured in 1981 and never installed until last month) factory am/fm/8track player!!

Thanks you guys-I get a kick out of this web site-Owning a vette is not for everybody but your help sure makes it more fun!!! I wish Pioneer still made those tune up speakers you just stuck to your dash!

 

You could always mount one of these on your rollbar... Kind of a cool idea.

Cadence makes something like the Tune-Ups...

The only other decent quality stick-ons seem to be the tweeters with integrated crossovers...
