There should be places for 3.5s (4" will fit) and one center 4x10 in the dash of an 82

You don't want to put those 3.5s in the factory location ? You could put them down low but you would have to make kick panels or cut holes somewhere and run your own wires.

You can cut the kick panels and mount them in there.

Re: How to install speakers in front of bench seat

Where are the factory locations for the front I see no factory locations? I was really thinking to just put the speakers down low by my feet in the kick panel you can easily buy a kick panel slot to hold the speakers and I would run the wire under the rug.Sigh.. Ain't this going to be a job that rug is going to be a pain in the ass to pull back I tried earlier today it didn't budge lol it has yellow glue.Its a year old black rug.
