Title: WTB: Working stock radio and speakers
Post by: The Shredder on September 14, 2010, 10:24:22 PM
I'm in the market for some speakers and radio for an 88 cougar.  Just something to at least listen to some music and talk radio.

I believe I need the door speakers and the rear deck speakers.

Let me know what you got.  Thanks!

^^What he said^^

It is near impossible to find a good set of salvage speakers that are not dry rotted or damaged from being played too loud.

Just get a new set of inexpensive yet efficient speakers that do not take a lot of power to drive them. Those work well on lower wattage output radios like the original factory radios.

That's a stock radio, and it may have been in your Cougar, but it's not a stock Cougar (Or Ford) radio...


(That's GM stuff there, hoss)

ScorchingRed88Cougar, no thanks on that GM Delco radio.  I'm looking for a factory Ford unit.

Alright, I'll pick up some cheap speakers from Amazon - like the BOSS BRS35, BRS65 and BRS5768.  Are those efficient Watchdevil?

But I still need a headunit on the cheap.  Anyone?

I have a set of speakers out of my 87 thunderbird, they worked fine when I parked the car and removed them. They are sitting in a box in my garage.

jpc647,  thanks for the offer.  If you think they will still work, I'll take them.  PM me a price shipped to 28104.

BTW, is it all six of the speakers?  Do you happen to have the attaching screws also?

Thanks!
