Newbie here attempting to do my own custom radio install. Nothing fancy, just planning to install a kenwood detachable face deck and some speakers. I did some research on this site (love CB.com) and got some good ideas as I did not want to cut my dash and I am trying to restore this bronco to as close to stock as possible, with only some slight mods to make it more drivable.
So here are a few first pics of what I started. I made a cardboard template and mocked up a radio box to fit under the dash. I then cut out my pieces with 1/2" MDF and screwed/Glued together. Will cover in raptor liner or something similar when finished.
First question - looking to mount a pair of 6 1/2" Polk marine grade speakers somewhere, but can"t decide where to do it. Again, don't want to cut the body anywhere. Any suggestions? Thinking of making a pair of boxes to squeeze up over the rear wheel wells but running tight on space with roll bar and the gas overflow bottle on the drivers side. (See radio 4 pic)
Appreciate any photos, suggestions, etc.
Will post more as I make progress.
