yeah my plan was to put two 6x9 speakers in the parcel shelf but have them mounted below and cover the deck with cloth so the speakers are out of sight, and I see that there are some reproduction impala kick panels available that have speaker pods in them so i was gonna try them out.

Tissue box secrets eh, thats an interesting option. I'll post some pics of what I do as I go I have a few other projects on the go right now so the stereo is on the back burner.
I mounted my deck under the driver's seat. I point the remote control at the brake pedal and the signal rebounds to the deck. Since I never drive the car when it's real cold out, I pulled out the vent doors and mounted speakers there. Vent grills now become speaker grills. Convertibles really don't have much for mounting speakers and I'm not into cutting holes.

Here is what i do for my clients cars that want good sound and factory looks. This is a Barracuda convert that i did, for non-verts i do the custom rear pannel perferated for the sound to come through and covered with a matching carpet to the interior. Front speakers on all old cars can be done by using 2- 4inch speaker and use the factory speaker as your template to make a new mounting plate for the new speakers so you get the right and left signal ( you can also do this for the single rear speaker too) For the headunit, i use Alpine electronics with a marine remote control so the radio can be hidden anywhere in the car.

I like the front speakers in the kick panels ... you can camoflage them well there too. Just make sure you put some hush-mat in behind them or else the backpressure from the speaker movement will make the speakers sound like they are in tomato juice cans!
