Where do my speakers run to?

I have a 1970 safari. And the fiberglass front part has two speakers. Where would the speaker wire be ran to. How can I locate them. Wouldn't mind putting a nice Bluetooth player hooked up to a battery. Thanks.

I think the original radio was in the middle of the compartment right under the control panel, almost straight down from the clock.

The radio in my '78 was in the right side of that same compartment.

I have no idea how you're gonna get in and change out those speakers. To me, that would be an issue.

Three years ago someone broke into our A/S from the back window and stole the radio/player. It forced me to take a hard look at the wiring because the system was tore out. I noticed that the speaker wires were color coded and these color codes were documented on the A/S three-ring binder that came with the trailer. Hope that helps some. jd
