Re: How and where to install speakers in a '56 Clipper?

There are plenty of openings in the steel under the package shelf (see factory photo)https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/uploads/photos/138.jpg
but the spacing for screws may be tough.
Normally the speaker mounted under the 2 round holes on left side, so another on the right may require some kind of bracket. As to the covering, my 5697 has a perforated panel that is either hardboard or some type of thin composite. Can't swear as to whether it came that way, but the 5697 is the only one listed as using a separate panel number. Something like that might work by getting some thin perforated fibreboard and covering with a solid fabric to match your interior.
As to front, under the seat might be a good idea, but if you have power seats wonder if enough room on drivers side--or passenger either if you have underseat heater. Smaller speakers might fit in upper kickboard area above the stainless. Don't remember how high the inner cowl support opening goes but if adequate you could make new panels that were of the same perforated material as package shelf. In the vinyl section you could use an appropriate type cloth to match the original so speakers wouldn't be visible.
