Ok guys im currently working on installing a new aftermarket radio and new speakers into my 73 satellite.

Ive come to a crossroad on where to mount the radio. Ive seen them in the glove box, under the dash, or mounted where the original is. I want to hear you guys opinions on whether or not you like where the radio is.

Also Im looking at mounting two 6x9 speakers somewhere in the front of the car. Ive seen them mounted in the door panels, kick panels, or in just exposed speaker boxes on the floor. Does anyone have any of these set ups like these and likes the way it looks or sounds?

 

the 6x9 s in the front doors is a bit much for the doors and the sound will not be any better than a good set of 6 " speakers in the doors and your 6x9 s on the rear deck mounting the radio ive always used the factory location in the dash

 

I have them in the doors on my 74 roadrunner seem to work fine but be sure they dont hit the window cranks.

 

It all depends on what you have in your car now, what you are willing to cut, how stealth you want it, and what kind of money you want to spend. I put 6.5" Focal separates in my Dakota, with a 4ch amp bridged to 2ch. No speakers in the rear, and a crappy sealed box with two Kicker 8" woofers under-powered by a 400W mono amp. I could easily turn it up to the point where my ears hurt, and it wouldn't distort. Knowing what you want out of it will determine what is recommended.
