Default speakers

Hello, does anyone out there know where I could find speakers for my 1985 4kq. I need front speakers but I cannot find anything that will fit. Any ideas. Thanks.

so you cut out the old speaker. And that works fine? I Have been trying to get them out and have come to the conclusion that the whole dash must come apart. Am I right?

Default uh....lemme take a stab...

IIRC...you have to take the lower dash panel (below the steering column) off, and remove the heater vent ducting for the drivers side dash vent. Then you will have access to the speaker from below.
