Retrosound vs Custom autosound kick panels

I have the Retrosound kick panels and I know you cannot get to the dimmer switch. But looking at the auto sound ones they look like the speakers fit higher in the mount. Can anyone tell me if you can reach the dimmer using these panels. Thanks Rick

Re: Retrosound vs Custom autosound kick panels

I ended up moving my dimmer switch up and to the right about 1 inch-ish and cut the left half of the emergency brake pedal off to clear things for the kick speaker. I don't remember the brand, but I think it was the retrosound version. Most are close to the same that I saw unless you custom build them. I'll get a current picture soon as I get to the shop later today. the included picture is before I moved the switch and installed carpeting.

Note:
Here is the shot after I moved switch and cut (tried to rotate it so the hole part would fit, but my cut was off a hair so I ended up with this. It works good with my size 14's to operate without issues. If you have smaller feet it may work oK, but not with my Sasquatch shoes. I trimmed the brake and black RTVd the rubber pedal to it and it has stayed in place. I couldn't get it to operate with out banging up the speaker grill trim. Again big feet.
