Well...............about that. I took the reproduction out and put in the original. I like the feel of how the original push buttons operate, the feel of slightly rounded button edges and the way the tuning dial works. Ultimately I wanted OEM factory look and feel and I really wasn't going to use all of the other functions that it came with.

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!
