Bill,
I like this idea. I've been having trouble deciding what to do as I do not
wish to put holes in the car. My 1968 has the original panels on the door
and they are in great shape! I would hate to damage them. Are the speakers
on your rear deck in speaker boxes? What size? Thanks for your reply, I
think you and George have steered me in the needed direction.

The top WILL interfere with the sound a LOT more than you would think.

In my opinion, neither. Door speakers get blocked by your legs and back
wall speakers get blocked by the top and/or tonneau. Also, I'm not a fan
of cutting holes ANYWHERE in my car. So, like George, I have speakers
Velcro'ed to the deck behind the seats. If nothing else, try putting
speakers there first. If you're not satisfied with the result, you can
always try the doors or back wall later.
If you don't mind cutting holes in your car, I think the doors are a better
place for speakers than the back wall. I had door speakers in my last B
and they worked pretty well.
