Should have said, "I just couldn't cut up the Westfalia..."  Sorry

This a good spot.  I had a pair of Sony 6x9 in my GL.  I just could cut up
the Wesfalia....

I put a pair of Sony 6x9's in the front of the bench seat in my westy.
Don't
know if yours is a westfalia or not, but if it is, just cut two oval holes
in
the front panel of the bench seat and plunk the speakers in there.  To wire
them, I ran the wires out of the deck, behind the glovebox, under the
carpet of
the passenger floor, under the carpet on the passenger wheelwell, down
beside
the batery box, and under the carpet into a tiny sneaky little hole in the
bottom of the bench seat.  The speaker backs take up hardly any space under
the
bench seat, and I can still use it for storage.
