Here it what i did to the the speaker mount
i added two 100 watt speakers in the stock mount
i didnt like the plastic mounting plate
so i cut out the old speaker
will see how it sounds :metal:

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
 

Good idea with the speakers,be sure to let us know how they sound. Don't have much room to put speakers and don't wanna put them in the doors even though the holes were put there before I got it
