Radio installation

[mgbnew]

Last week I mentioned about the small speakers I have installed on my 70. I have attached a few pictures showing the install in the trunk and the take-a-way radio face for security. Just thought this would be of interest to some.

What if you don't have an alternator? I had a real cheapo circa 1980 Mono Audiovox AM/FM in the car that I have taken out to upgrade. (this came with the car) I was going to go for a CD player with amp but realized I might not bea able to. What is recommended that will let me listen to tunes but not kill tha car.

This is a low priority thing for me. I have a few things to go, to be road worthy, and want to listen to the car for some time before I crank the tunes.
Can't do much about rear speakers in a GT. Or can I?

Thos sail panels will hold a 4 or 5 inch speaker pretty easily.. Or those pioneer "wedge" speaker boxes sitting at the rear on the floor would work too.

Anyone got any pics of an under dash speaker install? I'm planning on doing that tomorrow. I've got an old british leyland labeled radio, and need to hook up speakers, but want it to look stock.

I have a panel with a speaker (original I think) installed on it that I could take of picture of for you, but I think that if you have an original panel or a suitable replacement, it is pretty obvious where the speaker goes...right over the section with the slots in it.

Thanks Bruce, but I've got that. I've seen a couple of guys post that they did a seconde speaker on the driver's side, but space looks very limited to me.

Just for info. the orginal radio in a MK I had the speaker in the radio pointing toward the floor.
