Stereo Speaker Location?
Looking to add a stereo and speakers to my 68 F100. Anyone figure out a good solution for best speaker location? Rather not to the headliner with built in speakers.

Most people put them in the doors. But that means cutting a hole in the door/ door panel.
I built a small box for two 6.5" rounds and bolted it to the trans tunnel. That, in combination with two 6x9s in the doors, and a 10" subwoofer under the seat, really rocked in the single cab.

You could replicate the look of the OEM AM-FM radios that were available in the 1971 and 1972 models and included door-mounted stereo speakers.

I did component kick panels. You have to make brackets to mount them and they definitely do not look OEM.

Someone makes a metal sort of enclosure that you can weld onto the side. But you have to remove the gas tank. I want to do that but gotta wait until I paint the truck. I gotta keep looking for it since I can't seem to find the link at the moment.
