Hi- This is in reply to the posts under CD player....speakers. There is an alternative to just putting tweeters in the "unique" dash speakers in the mid-80s 4000. It involves using the existing factory speaker and destroying it. First, remove the factory speaker. Second, remove the cone. Then take a hacksaw blade and separate the basket from the top plate. With a little sanding, you can make a perfect surface to seal a 3.5" co-ax Blaupunkt. With some small hardware you can fasten the new driver to the original plate and resecure the assembly using the factory hardware! Caution - when removing the basket, don't saw through the "studs" that go through the dash, you'll never mount the assembly is you do. I did this with my 86 4000s and it looks great. Factory at any angle except directly above, then the Blau logo shows through. Very trick. Hope this helps... TODD
