Speakers that will fit under bench seat???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone put 6x9 speakers with the standard box enclosures under the stock bench of a 67-72 pu?? Wanting to know if it fits.
Just got a Custom AutoSound slide bar reproduction radio to install for Xmas and was wanting 6x9’s under the seat but wanted to see if they would fit - looks like they would....
Also open to other suggestions. Need to fit them under seat since my original gas tank is still behind the seat.
Thanks

I’m interested in this, too! I want to retain the stock interior and not use kickpanel speakers.

I used 4x10 speakers and made boxes to fit on there back, they can slide in under the seat when you don't want a lot of tune and can slide out when to rock out

Should fit no problem. Know of a few trucks with 2 10” subwoofers under factory seat

Would like to find some large Bluetooth speakers that could fit under the seat so I could stream from my phone. That way I could leave my stock AM that works in there as well...

I have 2 Blaupunkt boat speakers under my seat. not sure the size but they sound great.

I put four 6" round speakers under my seat. I built the speaker boxes out of pine and they sit facing upward under the seat. The depth of the boxes are(from top to bottom) approx. 1.5" to 2.0". I was concerned that the speakers would sound poorly since they are facing up, but I was pleasantly surprised how good they sound. I went with a lower end Retro radio and it performs nicely also. I think I spent about $250 on the entire effort. Overall, I'm really satisfied with the appearance of the radio and the sound of the radio/speakers. I would rather have a stock AM/FM radio for a more original appearance, but I couldn't find one that looked very good. After installing the retro, I'm not how they jammed a stock radio in AC trucks, not much real estate under there.

I used these and they sounded pretty decent. No holes in the kickpanels or doors. They fit under a stock seat.
