[Mgb-v8] [Mgs] Fitting a radio

[Bill Zenkus]

What worked for me was placing 3-way 6x9 speakers in the kick panel area along
with using Pontiac Fiero seats with 4" speakers built into the head rest.
The
6x9's on the "Front" circuit and the head rest speakers on the "Back" circuit.
Easy to balance and very good sound at a reasonable volume - even at speed
with the top down!
 
Bill

The doors have a lot of lost
high end, so you have to turn it up a lot. The kick panels would be more so.
Very muddled sound.

I've been thinking of replacing the stock door speakers
with separates, actually just the woofer. I have Miata seats with speakers.
Have you thought of getting box speakers and mounting them on the parcel
shelf?

console, but it is the location of the speakers that puzzle me.  Seems as if
the doors are the most common spot but I like that not because of the
door/body connection required.  It would seem that the wing space to the left
(or right) of ones knees (forward of the door opening) would be perfect.  Tons
of room, simple route to radio, and easily fitted.  However, nowhere have I
seen this place mentioned.  Is there some reason why this place should be not
a good idea?

flash-stick will be great as stacking even CDs in the car is a little cramped
- forget tapes!!!
