RetroSound kickpanel speakers
 
I bought these Retrosound kickpanels where you can mount 6.5" speakers. I ordered the panels with the sound deadening material thinking it was going to be something that covered the inside of the panel. I got 2 pieces of some sound deadening material that is 12x12". They won't even cover the inside of the kick panel. What are you supposed to do with these pieces?

Cut the material into strips, maybe 1" wide. Apply inside the coned/stepped out area for the speaker and on the flat part. It is not necessary to completely cover a panel with sound deadener. Good results can be achieved with the strips. Pretty much a waste of time, material and money to do complete coverage.

Will do! Thanks!
