Anyone have ideas for speaker placement in a '74 Westy. The interior is pristine so I don't want to cut holes in the front doors or the cabinets. Any clever inovations out there?

I hope some ideas appear, I have a 77 with the same problem.

my speakers in my 74 westy ...have 2 in the couch/bed facing and unfortunately the other 2 are in the much needing of replacing door panels. not a problem where the rear 2 speakers are located, but was thinking after i replace the door panels that id put the front speakers up by the firewall. outta sight, out of the way too. may look alot cleaner too.

Here is what I did, it works great. I bought two smaller 6X9 speaker boxes and speakers and then mounted heavy duty magnets on them. I then placed them up front just under the dash near to the inside of the door jams. I also bought a sub woofer and an amp and mounted those under the passenger seat. All the speakers have extra long speaker wires so when I go somewhere and want to have tunes outside the bus, I can simply pull the speakers out and place them on the roof, or what have you. I hope this helps.

i have a '77 bus and the first thing i did when i got it was put a cd player in it and put 2 speakers in it. put the speakers in a 6x9 box, and put one facing forward, between the front two seats, and another in the rear left by where the table comes down.
