Apologies, life has been hectic lately.

Here's the door, minus the door card.

12's and 6x9's

Sent you a PM. Seeing how those tweeters sound since there is no vent in the door for them, or die you customize that as well?

Has anyone reading this thread install a headunit in the glovebox? If so, how did you go about that install?

Re-read your post and you did say you cut into the door panel. Would love a photo to see what that looks like.

In My 1982 Bronco I went with the following, may be a bit more than you are looking for.

Blaupunkt SQR46
https://www.crutchfield.com/p_423BRE...QR-46-DAB.html

Infinity reference amp I have the previous version of this but will upgrade to the Infinity Kappa version this summer
https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108R30...nce-3004A.html

Infinity Kappa coax speakers (6.5inch upfront 6x8 in the rear)
https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108K63...appa-63XF.html

Infinity Basslink DC sub
https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item...ssLink-DC.html

The sound quality is very good. It does go pretty loud, but with the roof off and the exhaust I have you kind of need that.

It is also important to highlight I have put sound deadening on the doors and the 3/4 panels. I will be doing the roof and floor this summer.

The Blaupunkt is a nice retro looking stereo and performs as well as the $200 Pioneer/Alpine I had previously. I definitely think the premium for the Blaupunkt is worth it in my vehicle. Your milage may vary!

Zoom in to the shadow area to see the tweeter
I only have one done, and the hole needs to be 1/4" bigger than it is so I can recess the tweeter even further. The 6.5 is behind the door panel in the factory location.
