Hello. It has been quite a while since I posted to the forum. I finished the restoration of my "54 Merc Sun Valley, then promptly sold it. The wife wanted a new house closer to the grandkids and I needed some cash, so off it went. Really never got to drive it much and I think I jumped the gun on selling it. Turns out I did pretty good selling the house we had and there was some cash left over. So I bought a nice D code '57 Bird that I am trying to get acquainted with. It is hard to have the same feelings for a car that you bought as opposed to one you spent several years building. Anyway, the bird's radio was non-functional so I installed an aftermarket town and country radio. Looks just like the original but it is AM/FM with some other bells and whistles. The speaker I installed was a stereo speaker installed in the original dash position. I am not happy with the sound quality and I want to install some larger speakers behind the seat. There is a unit on Ebay that has two 6"X9" speakers and requires no modification to the car. Has anyone installed something like this before? If so, how is it installed and where is it mounted? Does it interfere with the stowed convertible top and vice versa? Does the top muffle the sound? I asked the seller these questions but he is a dealer and had no clue how it was installed. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I really dont want to install speakers in the door panels. Thanks for any and all help and suggestions.
