[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8805812, member: 614752"] It was also 1960 and the quality of sound you could get out of the loudspeakers of the day was going to be rather anemic even given optimum speaker locations. Consider FM radio was only just getting popular in the 1950s and 8-track only came out in 65. IF you have a 5.5" hole in the rear you might could turn that into a port of a bandpass box that would get bass up into the cabin efficiently. If you turn this into a convertible/soft top you'll never get good bass, though you can sort of replicate the effect by using Bass Shakers mounted to the seats if you're a low frequency guy. Otherwise, a good modern 12" bandpassed through a hole in the middle of the rear seat could be impressive with good equipment and a well designed and solidly built box. Definitely glad to hear you're not smoking an all original classic for this sort of thing, I'd imagine those are getting really hard to find these days after 30+ years of everybody who ever listened to NWA wanting to do pancake, front back, side to side, and all that ****.
