I'm not sure about a 72 but most older cars had their front (or only) speakers in the dash pointing up towards the windshield. If the car didn't come with stereo then there may only be a single speaker in the center of the dash.

There was one their, but i belaive it is gone. The car had only two 6x9s in the rear.
My 79Z only has 2 6x9's in the rear. I've seen some guys cut holes in their doors for 6 1/2 inchers, but man, that's cheesy. I think the front center was something like a 4x10, but good luck at getting it out... think you'd have to yank the dash to get at it.
I haven't thought about how I'd approach new speakers... it's been so long since I stripped a second gen, I don't remember how much room is available under that dash panel. Not much, I'm afraid.

yea the prob with a 72, is that their aint much room in the doors to put a speaker there. I think ill end up going to a custom shop and see if they can do any thing. I want to atleast get two speakers up front and still have the 2 6x9s in the rear. maybe they can mount small ones in the front kick panels or something. thanks for help!
