Where should I put an underdash device? / Any one ever install QUAD sound? 200 1980

I recently picked up an old underdash quad 8-track player. I want to hook it up to my 1980 245, but am somewhat stumped. The picture shows my current setup. As you can see from the picture below, I already have a stock volvo 8-TRACK installed, and I would like to keep that unit in the car as well, (since the underdash has no radio.) First off, where should I mount this unit? I considered removing the glove box, but I would have quite a reach from the driver's seat, and I would loose the glove box. Anyone ever install an underdash componant in these things?

Secondly, does anyone know if there is a reasonable way to wire my second 8-TRACK player's front speakers into the pre-existing stock stereo speakers? I don't want to risk damaging the pre-existing radio. If I don't have install new seperate front speakers, all the better.

Thirdly, Has anyone ever installed a Quadraphonic sound system in a 240, no less a wagon? I was going to just put some rear speakers in the back doors, but the sound of those would be muffled quite a bit, and I can't have that (since the rear speakers are not just stereo for the back seat.) If this were a 244, I would think this to be a bit easier, but it's not, and I have to make due.

By the way, my car doesn't have power windows, so I have a little more room inside of the door panals for things like speakers, but not much.

Thanks for dealing with these odd hobbies of mine.
