I have a 64 Monza 900. Very original stock interior, I would like to keep it that way. I do however, require some cruisin' tunes
I have ordered a bluetooth amp and two 4" speakers to go behind the rear seat. I will probably mount the speakers in the existing cardboard interior panel, then build out a real mdf upholstered panel once i do the test install. Anyone have ideas for the front of the car? I would like to keep the original radio. It adds to the whole car to tune in AM stations. This bluetooth amp will be hidden and a completely different system from the original one speaker radio. But I may want another pair of speakers up front that are basically invisible. I could upgrade and share the dash speaker between AM and bluetooth. Any other ideas for a pair of hidden speakers in the front of the car?

Roger Parent (rip11 on here) came up with a very nice solution hiding them in the L+R
vent covers. Contact him or do a search on here. He sold some kits but I'm not sure
if he has more. He is in the San Diego area and comes to the GWFBT in Palm Springs.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

On my '68 I did the Retrosound center dash speaker and then I made boxes to hold low profile 5-1/4" coaxials under the front seats. On the front of the boxes are tweeters that point forward toward the footwells. I have the amp in the boot. I think it's a great stealth setup and doesn't remove the fresh air vents, which for me are essential.

Roger's don't remove the vents either but the RH side is not compatible with A/C IIRC.

I recently replaced my dead front speaker with a RetroSound R-410N. This is a 4x10" dual voice coil (stereo) speaker with two built-in tweeters which can be used as two 4-ohm speakers or wired in series (they provide the jumper) as one 8-ohm speaker suitable for a Delco mono radio. The original radio speaker was 6x9", but the dashboard opening is only 3.5x9" so I think this 4x10" speaker fits better than the original speaker.

I made a black speaker grill with stretch fabric on my sewing machine, drilled a speaker mounting hole in the original metal mounting bracket, and it fits nicely between the two defroster vents.




My Delco AM radio sounds pretty good through it, and all I wanted was to get the original radio working again.

I put 6x9 speakers in where the vents were. I didn't think a convertible needed vents anyways.
