Boy, you weren't kidding about this speaker!  It's like tissue paper and a fridge magnet!  I'm looking at mine now and this has got to go.

Yes. Put it on a desk and sneeze and it's gone ! :D

Still, it actually surprises me that it puts out what it does. For the moment, I put it back. I have to adapt somethings to get the "SW" speaker in there properly. But I definitely will put it in there, it's SO much better sounding....

ChadTower:

Why not just track down a decent 6" round?  Can't be that hard to scrounge one up from something else.  Anything has to be better than this speaker.

Well, as mentioned, I tried the Sony car speaker. In theory this was supposed to be the best of the three, but because of it's better highs, it actually sounded very tinny. What you want is more and deeper lows without the highs getting a boost too. The Atari 6x9 is perfect for this.
I won't be drilling any extra holes though, it should be 100% invisible from the outside.

O, and I prefer to use stuff I already have if I can. Of course you could try look for alternatives that will fight right away.

I have a 6x9 I pulled from my old car sitting here I'm going to try.  Looks like a fairly cheap two way much like the one you're going with.  Really all we'll have to do is drill some shallow holes for this speaker and use some short spacers to move the thing a little back from the grill.
