After Market Stereo Mount Ideas?

[Ironhorse]

Looking for some input here on options, pics of installs would be great. I just recently installed a factory am/fm Delco radio in my un-cut dash '71 4x4. I have the single bend 4 speed stick and the transfer lever in the center hump which makes for some difficulty. Would like to mount my older, single din, Sanyo am/fm/cd/cassette, using a splitter I so can use either radio with stock mount fender antenna . Really don't want to go with the in the glove box route unless have to. That isn't very accessible to the driver. I relocated the in cab tank to under the bed and have an after market 40/20/40 custom seat. Want to reach the controls without blindly fumbling under the seat mount and with my seat a console is not an option either.

I will be using the 67-72 corner speaker mounts from bigblock73 which he has
offered here on the board. Installing a pair of 6x9 Pioneer tri-axials 150 watts in the corners. For under the dash I have are a pair of Polk 5 1/4"
co-axials or Rockford Fosgate 3 1/2" co-axials. Which to use? Plan on mounting them to an underdash plate and secured because of the weight involved.

Sorry for the long post but am not much of a audio expert, just want something that sounds good and has some clarity to it. Thanks for any replies and would appreciate some pics if you have any.

where do you plan to put them under the dash? A few companies make kick panels for housing speakers.

the best spot would probably be to mount it like a CB radio under the heater controls. The shifter would get in the way alot, but I can't see much else where you could actually see the radio and have it not be in the way

unless you replace the center seat with an arm rest/storage box and mount the radio in there

My plan is to fab a plate or frame to mount the underdash speaker into and then mount that to the underside lip of the dash as close to the door opening as possible. Also plan to add a support wire/rod/bracket at the back side to help support the weight.

The thing with kick panel speakers is most likely they will be kicked, LOL. Really don't want to lose the center seat, thinking of perhaps fabing a mount for the stereo just to the right of the column as tight as possible to the dash for clearance.
