[Mgs] Fitting a radio

[Dan DiBiase]

I think maybe putting them below the bottom of the dash, facing rearward into the passenger's compartment, might not be a bad solution. You could sort of 
tuck them up a bit so they were partially hidden by the dash, so they would be less obtrusive. I'm thinking that your B is a GT, so if you also installed 
speakers in the sides of the rear compartment, the sound might not be too bad. Of course, I'm sure the acoustics are terrible but as long as your
expectations for sound are relatively low, this might not be a bad solution.

Subject: [Mgs] Fitting a radio

I want to put in a radio in my MGB and, of course. I have the usual space in the centre 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?

The radio will be a simple one with just the station selection buttons and front face flash-stick (USB) outlet.  Using a flash-stick will be great as stacking even CDs in the car is a little cramped - forget tapes!!!

Any sage advice would be welcome and thank you in advance for replies.

Regards
