Idea for cab corners on interior
 
Here is a little idea I came up with for mounting speakers in the wasted cab corner space. Welded a couple of pieces of 1" angle iron to the body then fabed 16 gauge panels to attach with bolts. I had to cut a hole in the passenger side door jamb for a vent so I could put the nuts on the bolts. Next I will cut the holes for the speakers and carpet the whole shebang when done. I plan on filling the cavity behind the speakers with insulation bats and also will put Dynamat on all surfaces.

I just did kinda the same thing. I welded 1/2 inch 90 degree brackets to the same spot you welded the angle iron. I used a fender clip to be the nut. I decided to use plt wood to fill in the opening. Same plan with the Dynamat.

Looks good Dude

thats a real good idea, just make sure you dynamat it real good in there, it will cut down on the rattles and give better bass response

Yup, that does work. I've got a pair of old 2-way 5X7s mounted on 1/8" lauan and covered in fabric. Just used a small angle bracket screwed and countersunk in the door jamb. Added a small amp, a 12" sub in the center console and a pair of 1" dome tweeters in front. And a bunch of Cascade (Dynamat clone) for sound dampening. No buzz or rattle even when cranked up.
