84 Trans Am ORIGINAL 'Performance Sound' Sail Location question

Removed the Original Optional "Performance Sound" Sail locations speakers and mounting 'buckets'. Decided to put 6x9 speakers in.
My question is just in case I change my mind one day does anyone know of a modern direct replacement speaker for the 4" Round mounting cutout?
The P/N on the original speaker is one of these two numbers on the bottom of magnet....
16032720

I have had no luck finding anything.
Thanks
Mike



Removed original dual speaker system.

there is no replacement-the original was a special long throw design and any replacement will not be properly "tuned"to perform as original in the ported enclosure...

Found this source on E-Bay a little while back: ** Search Online auctions for " fieropartsaustralia " for new replacements Fiero SUBs. About as close as you will ever get to the Firebird SUBs.
