Steps to replace center dash speaker

[stros]

Hi guys - I see one old fbodywarehouse video where they removed the center speaker by taking the gauge clusters out.  Is this the easiest method?  Assuming I can’t get to it by removing the glovebox components.

Thanks

I want to say when I did it I did remove the glovebox, and ac ducts. I think I pulled the cluster too for easier access but I want to say to remove it it needed to go to the passenger side. I could be wrong though. It’s been quite a while ago now.

I can't help, I think my dash was largely out when I removed mine, more friendly ducting setup in mine too.

So a slightly unrelated post but a free bump. FirebirdCentral just listed this factory style centre speaker for original stereo setup. Bracket also listed as they probably suit several. Previously most of this type were the 4ohm modern versions.

Thanks guys.  I purchased this bracket and two new 4” speakers for it.

Will take another look in the morning but my aftermarket AC ducts definitely are in the way of pulling the speaker out thru the glove box.  Looks like it may be easier to get it out thru the main gauge cluster area.  Here’s the old fbodywarehouse video recommending that https://youtu.be/LD4d0ZIPxNk?si=5RN5dnZHYTpZcbTE

What 2nd gen is this meant to be?

Find some black speaker fabric, you don't want to see any of that shining through the grille or reflecting off the windscreen.

It’s for my 1977.  Not sure about the risk for reflection but I’ll put some speaker fabric up there in case.
