As a FYI if someone is looking for a reproduction speaker of the 4" x 10" Delco Style Special Rectangle, Electro-Tech makes it and it sound pretty darn good. Fit like a glove into the factory bracket.

In the end I probably lost MPG and speed, but gained a bigger smile!
I thought the same thing about the buttons and such. That's why I'm going to sell my reproduction one, and install an original as well. But, the chrome is nice on the reproduction one, and the increased room for duct work and such is nice as well.
