I'd be interested in the answer to this as well. I just had a new 
stereo put in my '86 Spider. Usually they put 6x9's in the back deck to 
replace the 5" speakers already there. However, on my car there is a 
big honkin' box o' electronics right there (I haven't had the time to 
look up what it is - I'm in Saltillo Mexico at the moment, and I did 
pass an Alfa dealership on the way from the airport). So we went with 
the 5" speaker and they don't move enough air to really hear the stereo 
at speed with the top down.
