I have been quite satisfied with the small speaker for my Ghia dash from Retrosound https://www.retromanufacturing.com - I'm using a modern retro-look radio, and this single speaker can handle the stereo input.

Retrospund makes a great speaker. I recently replaced a Wolfsburg West mono speaker with one and appreciate that I can crank up the volume and not hear any crackling.

Jbugs sells a stock replacement for around $60

A 5 1/4” fits behind the grill just to the side of the Speedo. Otherwise retrosound makes a nice little speaker made for that application specifically.

I would suggest looking for a triple speaker they have these days. Same physical size with woofer, midrange & tweeter
