Hello all, I am looking for the specs on these speakers. And any idea which terminal is the plus and which is the minius? Thanks in advance!

Cheap six by nines. Won't take a lotta power, give adequate sound for a 'truck'..... Don't expect to find much more than that..... You can measure coil resistance, that's likely important to match your replacements to your system.

 

Thanks! I was hoping someone might know if these were 8 ohm speakers or of a site that would show the specs. Again, thanks for the help.

That, I don't know. Whip it with your ohm meter, and test 'em. If you don't have one yet, you should.

 

an ohm meter is a must

 

Yes, I was getting a reading of over 10 ohms using my multimeter and was expecting something between 6 and 7 ohms. I was looking to see if there was a site that listed the specs of these vintage speakers. I took a reading on another speaker, a known 8 ohm speaker, using the same MM and got the same reading so my meter must be reading these a little high. Thanks for your help!

With a few minor exceptions, 4-ohm speakers are used in automotive applications, while 8-ohm speakers are used for home audio systems.

 

alloro, thank you for your reply. I was getting a higher reading than expected on these speakers. I've now used two different multimeters and on the first one I got a reading above 10 ohms and with the second meter I get a reading of just over 8 ohms. Both speakers give the exact same results. That is why I was wondering if there might be a website the showed the specs of these vintage speakers. I think these were OEM in late 80s to early 90s Dodge Ram vans so I was hoping someone here might know. Again, thank you for you help!

Ditch the old stock ones! Plenty of aftermarket ones that will blow them away. I like Pioneer.
