Geoff,
  Have you thought of an alternative approach instead?  You could keep that 
semi stock look with the 2 speaker grills while improving the sound with a pair 
of big honkin 6X9's.  I bought a pair of basic wooden 6X9 speaker housings 
which fit easily inside the wasted space cubby hole behind the rear seat of my 
'64 Coupe.  While I did cut a one big custom speaker opening in the back panel 
( now made of lexan and covered in carpet to avoid warping ) I'll bet if you 
opened up your panel to the full dimensions of the 2 rear grills it'll give you 
lots of room for sound to escape.  Maybe this isn't the solution you want but 
I ended up doing this because everything I saw offered in a 4X10 speaker was 
pretty crappy.
