Would it work just to move the e-brake bolt that goes through the dash to the right or does the whole e-brake need to mover over?

Just the bolt in th dash needs to be moved over.Probably wouldn't need to loosen the others .But that's what I did.Make sure you tighten everything back up.Also now would be a good time to adjust the e-brake.

Great to hear they're rollin' along for you. A very nice response for a very nice product.
Can't wait to see more installed pics popping up hereabouts.

Anyone using the Mighty Dwarf speakers?

The ones you stick on glass or metal

Friend of mine has some and they sound great

You could just stick a pair in the bottom corners of th windshield w

received mine today, very nice.

Hopefully install tomorrow. I loosened the ebrake a day or so ago so I was able to place them in there to see about fit. Absolutely no issues with my Crab family cage, I will have to relocate the dimmer switch and inch or so to the right.

Will it not fit with the dimmer in place? Cant cut a second hole in the vinyl floor if it doesn't.
Has it been test fitted with a dimmer?

I had to move the dimmer switch, it would fit but getting your foot on it seemed iffy to me, I moved it over to where easy to get to. I adjusted the ebrake over, didn't loosen the bolts on the firewall, just forced it over and drilled a new hole.

I put 6 1/2 inch speakers in, the grill hangs over the flat area but they work just fine. For now I have them installed with velco, seems plenty secure so will see how that works.

Just ordered a set earlier this week. Got a call from Bronco Hut and they are in the mail.

Looks like I need to find a pair of 5.5" that are less than 2" deep?

Will 5.25" work? Just from my inital searches, seems to be more 5.25" than 5.5"...

The speakers I molded these with are Alpine SPE 5000 5 1/4".Look on Amazon for a pretty good price.

I like how it fits behind the role bar and you don't really see it.
