Drilling into the kickpanels??
I want to install some speaker pods on the kick panels, how much room is there between the skins for screws? Anything to be careful of? Thanks!

Re: Drilling into the kickpanels??
Now where your thinking of you need to be careful a good bit of that is single walled there and if you cut a hole in the wrong place well your speaker will be out side the cab for the most part. I think the best idea would be to get some of the speaker pods even though they aren't real cost effective they will put the speaker inside the cab. Jim

as you can see from the scan of the assembly manual, the distance between the skins is exactly the thickness of the door jamb or about 3 inches IF you stay below and to the door jamb side of the vent opening. Fitz |

Re: Drilling into the kickpanels??
I'm sorry I misread the post,it was early. The room for screws is there just dont put 6 inch screws or something wild like that. Place the pods up there and add1/2 inch to that figure for the screws and you'll be golden

Re: Drilling into the kickpanels??
Just my opinion; and I know these are just screw holes you're talking about; but
No No No No NO! (someone will recognize where I got that quote; and honestly, I'm surprised at you! :-)).. Don't create a new, custom rust, water, dirt and vapor passage from inside the cab to the outside! All kinds of crap collects in that space, and it is already really hard to keep clean. I would no more put a bare metal hole with screws in my truck there in that blind space than I would put a hole in my own head, just above the ears, on each side I know, I'm just one guy. And I'm not the smartest guy in THIS room as I've learned now many times over.. Just being selfish - as in - someday I might buy that truck that the previous owner molested; and I'd have to weld up those holes and fix all the rust that followed - and way back up in there. Subwoofer speakers can go under the seat with no drilling; and tweeters glued on at ear level somewhere - trust me, it will be good enough. |
