Speakers in the trucks??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trifelynn · 05-09-2005, 08:53 PM

I have seen that there are custom kick panels for speakers, but where else are people putting there speakers without cutting anything? I just don't see anywhere to put speakers. Any help would be great...or pics even

Thanks guys/gals

I've seen custom headliners that had shallow speakers in them, and then of course people who relocate the gas tank and put subs behind the seat.

I am going to get two 6X9's and make two small boxes and put them under the seat. Here are two 10's I think for our years trucks for under the seat.

That looks EXACTLY like what I was thinking of doing! Did you do this? How did it work? Have any info on dimentions/speaker depth etc?

thanks!!!!

when i got the truck and started doing a thorough inspection, i found two speakers mounted to the vents on both the drivers side and passenger side. if you look at the hole above my kickpanel, thats where the speakers had been mounted.

anyone got a link to a site showing that headliner? i'd like to look into that.

that looks like the guys box off of cardomain. he had to raise the seat a few inches. mine is under the stock seat. its not easy to make the boxes to fit under there. it wouldnt be too bad with the dimensions before hand. the seat is sloped and the floor isnt level because there is that couple inch wide little hump. i hade to take out the wire that goes under the seat to be able to change positions, it just takes 2 people now. and im guessing someone like usual will come in here and say they will sound like crap being under the seat in small boxes but mine sound really good. if you need any info or have questions feel free to ask -Ben

They do not make the headliner panels anymore. I know one member was making fiberglass kickpanels that looked real nice. I wish I remembered who did that.

70c10 · 05-10-2005, 07:11 AM

I believe the board member was bagged74. The headliner with the speakers was made by Hi-Liner. There was a post a while back where someone bought the rights to reproduce it or something.

If you have relocated your gas tank, you have plenty of room behind the seats. I mounted 2 - 12" Kickers behind my seats. I would have used 10" (for sound and box size), but had the 12's from an old project.

Trifelynn · 05-10-2005, 07:41 AM

I like that behind the seat...

What model seats are those? Do the shoulder belts just bolt right in? or did you have to fab them a little?

68w/sbc406 · 05-10-2005, 09:18 AM

i have 2 6x9s under the seat and 2 3inch in the dash speaker spot

longnlow72 · 05-10-2005, 10:25 AM
