Question Kick Panels for speakers

How much interest is there for kick panels like these? I showed them in a thread of my son's truck. Got a couple of requests. Is there enough interest for me to make a mold ? Would you be interested in them if I got that far???

Do they get in the way of the high beam switch?

High beam switch

You can still get to the high beam switch but it is a little ways under the bulge for the speaker. The bulge was necessary for the depth of the speaker.

I can't get my toe under these, and these look higher off the floor than your design. I had to also bend my emergency brake pedal so it didn't rub on the speaker



By the way, this design doesn't sound very good either. A poor product....

position

Acutally they are a ways off of the floor and tilites so that there is clearance for the high beam switch. It is somewhat tight. I will try to get a better pic from that angle.

I would be interested in a pair. How much would you sell them for? They look better than the other ones.

Thanks for the comments and responses

thanks for the comments. I will try to figure out what I would sell them for. I would have to get a mold made out of this set. These were hand laid. Once the mold is done I would have a better idea on price. Also I nee to figure out how to remount the vent control rods and make them work.

I may be interested pm me with the price. I suggest getting one of those hippie bare foot pedals that goes on the dimmer switch. That will enlarge the area to push down on the dimmer switch. I am going to get one someday. I have the plastic kick panel speakers too and they dont sound very good. I have the same pioneer speakers as Skid.

Only two screws holding the dimmer switch - move it. Your design HAS to have better sound than the Custom Autosound pieces of crap I have.

Nice job, Scott
