Mounting Location for reverb unit

Hi guys I know the reverb amp mounts somewhere in the truck but I'm not sure where.  Can any of you guys who have  one mounted correctly take a quick snap or describe how it goes?

Does that run the rear speaker or something?

I might be wrong but from what I remember it doesn't work with stereo...
the sound ends up getting distorted real bad.
It's made so the mono sound coming from both speakers, with the one in the back is slightly slower giving an echo or concert hall effect.

I put one in my Dad's 60 Pontiac back in the sixties...didn't fasten it too well in the back deck, hit a bump on the road,
it fell into the trunk and sounded like a cannon hit the car...scared the crap out of me.
Took it out before my Dad could see...would have given him a heart attack.

I'm trying to hook mine up with a mono  AMFM and it worked fine on the bench.  Just have to finish all the hookups to see if it''ll work in the car.

What it does is add kind of an echo to both speakers when you engage it.  Its was one of those kind of gimmicky thing in the 60's but I wanted one in there just for the cool factor.

Mono will be fine but that is true, it was never offered with stereo as far as I've been able to find.

On the 66 Pontiac reverb switch, I believe you have F REVERB R and you pick F (front), REVERB (both speakers on with reverb) or R (rear). F or R gives you normal sound only.

reverb was pre stero, when stero was not out yet, stero sound gives the effect of reverb and made it redundent.
