The front speaker is 4" x 10". Factory speaker resistance is 10 ohms.  If using your original GM radio, make sure your replacement speaker is 10 ohms.  If using current model radios, a 4 ohm speaker will be needed.  The factory A/C cars use a smaller speaker thickness, usually resulting in a shallower depth magnet which equals less power handling capabilities.

I don't see a separate speaker listed for A/C cars in the AIM under UPCs C60 or the U series.  Where did you see a thinner speaker was used?

I should have been a little more specific.  Thanks for pointing that out.  The factory speakers were the same for A/C or non A/C cars (10 ohm).  The AFTERMARKET replacement speakers (4 ohm) have much larger magnets to handle today's much more powerful radios.  The AFTERMARKET a/c speakers (also 4 ohm) have smaller magnets as to not physically interfere with the a/c control unit, making them less able to handle as much power.
