Need Speaker Advice - 1978 Big 10

I just installed a new Custom Auto Sound (USA-230) receiver in my 1978 Big Ten pick up.

My truck has that single speaker in the center of the dash that is not operational. The previous, and original, owner rigged up some dime-store speakers and stuffed them under the dash floating there. I yanked those out. So as of right now, I do not have a speaker.

Based on this, I'd like to hear a few options. I've read just about every thread on speakers here and think I know what I want to do but I have a few Qs...

1. For those of you that purchased the dual speaker from LMC, how does it work? Is that actually acting like two speakers with 4 wires attached to receiver?

2. The next option for me would be to add cab corner speakers using a bracket sold by a member here. However, I have this original cardboard storage thing behind the seat that I would have to remove.

3. I would like to buy 3in x 3in cube speakers and put them in the upper cab corners so that the music is coming from above my head. To me, this would be a pretty clean install but I have been unable to find what I am looking for. I am envisioning a cheaper version of those little Bose surround sound speakers. Anyone do this?

We want decent sound for not a ton of cash. No real audio files here. Also, I definitely do not want to do any cutting. This truck is all original and I would like to keep it as close to original as possible.

Thanks.
