Hi Cobra de Capell,

This is classic topic, and each time a question is raised like this, you'll get the inevitable response that you "speakers" are your sidepipes, etc. etc. The fact is, many people are averse to the idea of a radio in a Cobra.

After having my Cobra on the road for a year, I've started with a stereo installation myself. The reality is that the car itself is more than entertaining around town or on a winding road, but anytime I find myself on the freeway for more than 20 minutes or so, I get bored loping along in my .68:1 overdrive without some tunes in the background.

Anyway, to your question: Many people locate speakers in the rear bulkhead. Low-frequency speakers can be located directly behind the seats, and mid or high range speakers can be located on the rear bulkhead near the shoulder. In the front of the car, you can find space for some small mid or high range speakers in your door panels, kick panels, or in the corners of the dash itself. For aesthetic reasons, I am using small 3 1/2" speakers in the cockpit with a hidden subwoofer in the trunk for low-range frequencies. Use a good, powerful, amp or amps, as many Cobra owners complain that they can't hear their stereos on the freeway. I will not have that problem ; )
