I am going to claim this idea because I have so few
originals and I normally like to steal them.
The stolen part:
I mounted a 5 1/4 speaker in the cowl area. Made a cover plate and mounted the speaker. Stole Steilow's idea about using a salad bowl as an enclosure behind it, except mine was plastic and I used silicon to seal it.
Mine:
I got non-air 69 kick panels and cut the area that protruded into the cowl off flush with the panel. That way the speaker plays through the stock 69 vent grill. Where the vent controls are molded in on the panel towards the door, I cut the center part out and mounted my tweeters there and the cross overs in the area behind it in the body.
I am running vintage air, so I have no need for the cowl vents. Just an idea for hidded speakers if you have to have tunes...and I have to have tunes
The only speakers seen in my car are the tweeters. I have 5 1/4 seperates, two 4 inchers in the center dash, 6x9 in the rear deck mounted from underneath with a preforated cover and one 10 inch sub firing through the back seat.
