Any help is appreciated

Jerry, I have one saved at my computer at work, if you can wait until Monday. I just sent one to JerryR and JamesH this week.

The grille is a rectangular perforated metal grille for a 4" x 6" speaker with a black painted finish. The edges depth varies to match the profile of the kick panel.

I think I have seen repops advertised but I can't attest to the quality of them.

Yes I can wait till monday or when you have time I would appreciate the picture.
I went to look at some 69 chevelles around here and they didn't have speakers in the kick panels,they weren't SS, maybe the malibu didn't have the kick panel speakers.
Thanks
Jerry

Thanks

Jerry, I used a Sony 4"x6" speaker in mine and I don't remember swearing to much.... so it must of fit fine http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif

Bob, How is it I never noticed your car had them? Do you have the Tape player in your car? Must have been that beautiful paint job blinding me http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Jeff:

The tape player is now in a box in my garage, no good tapes for it. The grilles are black like the kick panels.

Jerry:

4 x 6 speakers aren't too hard to find, I can find them here in the woods of East Texas. Check the flyers in your Sunday paper. Just don't try to put them with the original radio. The original takes 8 ohm speakers and newer speakers are 4 ohm.
