Specifically how it attaches, can't seem to find anything on the web or any real great pics. It looks like it attaches to the lower portion of the fenders and then to the radiator core support and them maybe to the lower cross member.

I had considered forming a set of fiberglass "speaker pods" and installing them in the factory side cowl panel speaker cut-out behind the fender but that's a LOT of work. I think I'll be perfectly happy with the available kick panel speakers. I had considered gutting the AM radio and installing the guts from a modern head unit inside but couldn't bring A.

I go thinking about how I could install a system like Retro Sound in my fastback with factory air. It takes up so much room under the dash and access to the speaker is virtually impossible with the HVAC installed. I've already got holes in the rear seat side panels.
