Greetings all,

I'm about to undertake a project that I'm sure many here have already done. I'm upgrading the audio in my '66 122 2-door and I'm looking for some ideas from others.

I had mounted a single DIN HD Radio/CD player under the dash, as the car has a (working) original AM radio, and I didn't wish to cut a hole in the dash. That part of this project is done.

The main issue I'm having is figuring out how to mount modern speakers.

I'd like to hear from others here how they have mounted speakers in the front. I'm not interested in cutting holes in the door panels.

For the rear speakers, I have a set of 6*9s that were in my 242 that I'd like to install in the 122. I'd prefer to not cut holes into the shelf if at all possible. I've seen cars that have speaker boxes installed on the back shelf but I always thought that looked a bit tacky. There must be a more eloquent solution.

Any pictures or advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks as always!
