Accessing front speakers on a GP

[spidereyes455]

And taking it to a shop to get it done will probably gut your wallet.

Yup got to pull the dash, been there done it. Luckily it was when i replaced the ElCo dash with the GP dash.

Looks good, man. I like it with the matching GP console. In my case, I used a Monte Carlo console with my GP dash.

Do I spy a B-Body Pontiac speedometer? How hard was that to fit in?

Why yes yes you do 😎😎
I bought the cluster with tach and speedo already in it.
But from the looks of it it took a bit of work.
I should have took a pic.
I may pull it out and get a pic before i sell it in the next week or so. Speedo has a squeek, needs lube.
Its a fun ride. 350 create, with RPM manifold, th350 3:73 LSD 1800 stall. Want to keep it but way too many G-body projects, got to thin the herd lol

Would it be possible to leave them in the dash, not hook them up and get door speaker pods / kick panel pods and wire those instead?

That would be cheating lol

Pulling the whole dash sounds worse than it actually is. The hardest part is the speedo cable, and if you have a 2 piece with cruise, that's not even bad.

Once you know the logistics of where the nuts and bolts... and cables are located, it's not too terrible a job. It is a little awkward handling it. Also, dropping the column would be beneficial as far as clearance is concerned. I do agree in regard to accessing the speedo cable. ^^

When I upgraded the tunes in my GP I realized that those dash speakers where hard to replace so I didn't use them. I changed the speaker in the middle which is a 4x6 I believe, and easy to get to, and I got an adapter plate that incorporates spaces for 2 3x3 in that 4x6 space for front imaging which reflects off the windshield. I also cut a hole in the door panel for some Polk Audio 5x5 woofers and tweeters with crossovers.
