Nope. :-( Unless of course I am so out of it that I missed them; that's
a possibility. ;-) The dash doesn't have any cutouts or anything underneath
it that I can see which looks like it was designed to hold speakers. When
I was on Crutchfield's web site, they have a thing on there where you can
put your make and model in and they'll tell you if a particular component
will fit. It didn't list any front speakers at all for my '70 cuda, but
it did show the two rear 6x9s. Hey, speaking of which... When I put
my car specs in, it only showed me a single pair of two way Xplod 6x9s, when I
went to the 3 way Xplod 6x9s, it said they "would not fit my vehicle".
Isn't a 6x9 a 6x9??? Why would one 6x9 fit and another wouldn't? Is
the bolt pattern different? I'm not real worried about it, this car is
already cut up so if I have to modify something to get them to fit I'm
certainly not afraid to do so. (As far as non-cosmetic and non-structural
stuff goes, anyway...)

That's a good idea, too bad I already gave Bob his Challenger door
panels! ;-) Even those could be difficult/expensive to find though.
Here's a stupid question... Can I mount a speaker behind the panel, or
would it just be so muffled that it wouldn't be worthwhile? One thing
that I am fairly certain I could do is to mount a couple of speakers
under the dash, pointing down into the footwells. Would this be better than
nothing?
Thanks!
