In my first 2cv I mounted a pair of surface-mounted speakers like these
on plywood boards, which I clipped onto the frame under my front seats. Had to turn up the sound a fair bit, but at least I didn't have to jigger about with the door cards etc.

Ages back on the 2cvgb forum I seem to recall a discussion about mounting speakers in a 2CV, particularly using door pockets from other cars. Can anyone suggest likely scrapyard candidates that would be suitable donors? Any other suggestions for cheaply and easily mounting them gratefully received! |

Do what I did and mount them into the roof. |

2CV  The roof thing had occurred to me, but I think I would be very unpopular if I approached it with a welder! Metro does ring a bell. I've found some pods to mount them straight on the door, but pockets might be quite handy anyway!

I've got pods on the front doors and a thick mdf board covered in vinyl and slung on seat rubbers where the parcel shelf goes. I liked Russ's roof mountings. Very neat. This'll be for Kims new Charleston? |

You don't need to weld them, you could rivet them on. |

Do you have any photo's of those Ray? They looked great! Although I seem to remember you didn't make much money on them! |
