I’d like to install one as soon as I can reduce the road and transmission noise. The kick panels in front of the doors look like good places for speakers, but I’d rather not have a radio hanging under the dash. Unless there is a really small one out there. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 35 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 35 | i mounted a radio in the header panel over the windshield and also put 2 speakers up there and and 2 more in the kick panels.I have had the radio in the glove box,under the dash. Where it is now fits the best. In fact i have mounted them in 2 other trucks there also. Let me know if you would like a picture of it.

[email protected] | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | Kip I have what is called a Hidden Radio. It's built for situations like ours. I've got the control pannel mounted in the cover plate for the passenger's side windshield wiper. (I only have one wiper) The bulk of the radio is behind the seat.
I have speakers mounted in the kick panels and behind the seat. The system works great.
Just another option for ya.

Sounds like what I'm looking for. Can you give more info on your radio, Maybe make and model number | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 784 | Kip, Do a google search for SecretAudio. It looks like they have a newer version now. The one I have works great and does'nt take up any space in the gove box. I just had to make a cover plate for the wiper hole that would hold the control panel. It would be easy to remove and replace if anyone wanted to go back to the orig look.
