Cool

Hello

I am a new member. I have been reviewing the topics. There is a lot of technical expertise here. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

I have a 1970 Cuda Convertible.

I have invested in a new interior for this car. I want to maintain the stock appearance. I just bought a new dash and would like to install speakers prior to install the dash.
It is a 3 speaker dash with two 3.5 inch speakers and 1 4x10 speaker. I was considering changing the 4x10 to two 5 inch speakers

What can I do for the back with out cutting the interior panels.
Thoughts?
I am not looking for the incredible systems that I see here, just a quality sound

I can add pics as required. Just tell me what you want to see.

thanks

Thanks for the compliment. It was a light duty 318. It now has a stroked 360 for a total of 408 cu in. Althoug this is a very mild build for a stroker engine, it produces 415 HP and 430 ft torque. Going in in the next month is a 727 tranny and 8 3/4 rear and suregrip.

There is very little space behind the kick panels. I will measure it. Additionall the emergency brake pedal is in front of the drivers kick panel reducing the amount of area for any type of speaker grill.

Sounds like a fun car, for sure. If you don't mind modifying, you could cut off the e brake and relocate it at right angles to the kick panel to make some more room, but I don't imagine that would be something you would want to do with that ride.....
