[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8188342, member: 614752"] Definitely need pics of this car! I'd say having some custom kickpanels made would be ideal. You could reserve your factory panels to return to OEM condition if you ever sell it and kickpanel is just a good location for components. I find speakers on the dash is an acoustic nightmare and would avoid at all costs. A good set of components in the kicks and a single woofer in a good ported box would do you nicely. The Memphis products are pretty good. Probably better than entry level Kicker IMO, though Kicker makes some decent stuff. One thing you may want to consider is a lot of old cars have rather anemic charging systems, you might want to consider how big your alternator is and plan for a high quality AGM battery under the hood to help keep up with music. If it's a really weak alternator you may want to either bump down to lower power, or get the 1200W amp and run at higher impedance... you'll gain a good bit of efficiency at the expense of some output, but if you're buying a bigger amp than you really need it's a fair tradeoff.
