I have 6x9s behind my seat in good boxes and they sound good. I mounted my amp under the dash... but I wouldnt suggest that. Put amp under seat. I have put in more speakers now just because I had them but I think just two 6x9s sounded good enough. Good Luck. CoryM

Didnt some cabs allow you to mount the speakers just under the rear window in the corners of cab ?
Or was that 81-up only ?

I have a 74 and I mounted mine in the cab corners. It's a plate or bracket, whatever you want to call it. I just don't remember where I got them.

As I recall that speaker monut plate was a bolt in piece, that should still be available from GM. I think it's for 4x10's tho
