Re: Speaker placements

You can install them in either place. It is easier to run the wires if you put them in the kick panels, plus you don't have to cut up your doors!

Re: Speaker placements

You buy the kick panels that are molded for speakers. No cutting required.

Re: Speaker placements

I think the sound is better and install cleaner with them in the door PANELS, not the bottom of the door. Here is my install:

Re: Speaker placements

Unless there is something else over your kick panels, they are just steel integrated into the sheet metal, nothing to remove.
