Out of topic question... why are you replacing your original speakers?

Default I actually removed them many years ago

I am a bit of an audiophile, and although the car is not an optimum listening environment, I was not satisfied with the sound quality of the factory sound system in my '98.
I still have the original headunit, but it is routed to an external amplifier. I replaced the front speakers many years ago and installed a JL Audio Stealbox in the rear deck, which required removal of the factory speakers.
Then I got rid of the Stealbox, but never put any speakers in there.

Years later, I am finally getting around to doing it. :-)

Default Do you still have your original ones?

If yes, I would like to buy one of them (or both if the price is good) I am in search of a rear speaker for my Bose symphony ystem.
Thanks!

Default I have them both, but they are not Bose.

You are welcome to them for simply the cost of shipping & handling, around $10-12. But since they are not Bose speakers they may not mesh well with the rest of your system. And for 6" drivers, their bass is quite lacking. (Then again as I learned with the JL Audio Stealthbox, the lack of bass could be attributed to the fact that the trunk is not well sealed from the cabin.)

I only kept these speakers because I figured if I ever sell the car, I would want to have all 4 speakers in it. But since I am finally putting in the better aftermarket speakers, I would just leave them in.

Let me know if you want them.
