I ended up making a custom bracket to carry a 6x8 speaker in the original location under the dash. I have wired the truck for speakers in the cab corners that I have built yet. I cant find a pic of the bracket I made and it is for my 72 f250. My 70 f250 had speakers down in the bottom of the doors along with the under dash speaker.
I never uploaded those pics. I used some left over floor pan material and cut a rough dimension and put some bends in it. Did some more trimming til it fit and then bent over the edges to stiffen it up.


Thats what I ended up with. I had to do that because I am not using the original radio and 4 ohm speakers.

I cut two 6" speakers into my dash. IU moved my gas tank out of the cab so I had room for two 6x9 speakers in corners behind the seat.


6" speakers cut into dash.

Relocated gas tank so there is room for two corner speakers, amp and subwoofer.

What are you trying to achieve? Goal?

Just tunes, or a decent sound system?
Lower door and kick panels are the best sounding locations for a pair of speakers.

Before cutting into door, look what is inside (hinges, etc)
Kick panel baffles can be made without hacking up the truck.

I built a center console with two 6-1/2" mids and put 6 x 9's in the rear cab corners like what CreigN did. I just tucked them a little farther back into the pockets.
