Re: Better kickpods in 60-66 Trucks

After cutting out my speaker rings for the 6 1/2" driver, I used a 1" wide of black upholstery board and an upholstery stapler to nail it to the surround of my midbass driver...there are other ways to do this but I just prefer this method as it saves me time from using a router for a surround ring...

For the 2" driver, Mr. Pearson was emphatic that the tweeter should NEVER share the enclosure space with a mid/bass driver. He suggested using a 2" PVC cap and gluing it to the back of my speaker's faceplate. You can see the PVC below...ignore the golfshaft sticking out of the speaker opening for a moment...
