Hi all,

I've got an 81 245, and somebody has moved the radio from the bottom of the console to the top. I get why, I've got a '73 144 with the radio in the right place, and it sucks to fiddle with while driving. However, having two cars with radios in both spots, I've learned that what sucks worse than the stock mounting location, is having no dashboard speaker because there's a damned head unit in the way. The front door speakers on their own, are like a mouse fart in terms of volume. What do I need to put the radio back to the right spot? I've got a bin in the bottom. I don't know if that's the one from the top location, or if I should fill that void with gauges.. I've already got the tach in the instrument panel, the small clock, and the oil pressure gauge.. I could see filling the hole with volts, vacuum, and... whatever. Regardless, I want to put a dual cone stereo speaker in the dash so that I can hear something above my terrible gearbox bearing whine at highway speed (https://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo/1602338/220/240/260/280/m46_noises.html).. Any suggestions?
