I bought a replacement dash speaker for my 73 Dart. Like most "replacement" parts, it doesn't look quite like the original. Has anyone replaced their dash speaker? I have no idea how to get the old magnet out of the frame so I can use the old speaker frame. It looks like its epoxied in or something. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'm thinking it may work to cut the old frame so the new speaker lays right in and it's magnet protrudes out the back.

It appears that you are attempting to use a replacement speaker that is not the same as the one you have removed. You are probably set on using what you have there, but if not, there is a member on this site that sells a bracket for installing two small, common size speakers in the place of the one. I'd recommend a search for "speaker bracket" to find his posts on the subject.
 
Lows from the back, high and mid from the front... and you can fit 2 4"s in the front with the fabo adapter.

I run 2 4s front 2 6x9s rear and 1 10" in trunk... sounds fn amazing.

1 amp for the front 4, and a mono for the sub.

Nothing is overkill.
 
Yes, yes, and further yes. But: ( big but)...
IF ( big if ), we want max bass from front speaker, as a decided priority, then figure out a way to get as deep a 4x10 into there as you can. Avoid giant magnets.
Find a 3 watt speaker.
When connecting rears, you must make sure all 3 speakers move in the same direction, easily checked by 9 volt battery to speaker wires while touching cone.
Bass will excel when making the phase of all speakers matche. And never just trust +/- as marked, especially between different manufacturers.
