- The best idea I've come up with yet for the speakers is to use
- surface mount speakers in a plywood panel cut to fit below the dash
- OVER the side vents.. You lose the vent action but all they do is
- suck in nice hot engine air anyway.... Rear speakers are standalone
- plywood boxes covered with indoor/outdoor carpet.. commercially available
- as 'kickers' i think.
-
- The stereo is in panel mounted in the glovebox. I've also seen them
- in a box under the front seat.
-
- You WILL need an amplifier..'Cruisers ain't known for being quiet !:)
-
- These ideas worked for me & my '72
