Man, with no vent to work around that would leave mega room for speakers. Seems to me it would.

Nice Pods. Looks to be a good angle with adequate spacing behind the mids to bring out a fair sound (in comparison to a cut door).
For better stereo imaging, the tweeter need to be placed above the mids, perhaps on the bulge above the mids between the air vent and the A-pillar/door. ![]()

Can you post a pic with grill and wider angle to get an idea how they look in the truck?

Actually putting the tweeter below the midrange helps bring the image up. It has to do with the time alignment of the voice coils. Keeping the tweeter as close to and in alignment with the midrange will also provide a more solid sound stage. Separating them can cause phasing and cancelation problems. While it can be argued that this stuff does not make a difference in a vehicle I believe you can hear a difference. $100-$200 for limited production custom pods is a good price. They are a bit of work, not only for the originals but glassing the copys. I would be asking more in the range of $350-$450 a pair. Good luck with the project.

Re: Kick Panels for speakers
what ever came of this. I realize this is 2 years later but it looks like this could have been a good business for him or anyone who wanted to make and sell these. I know i'd pay 200.00 for a good pair.

Re: Kick Panels for speakers
I know a guy who might be interested in doing this, i'll speak with him about it, have him make me a pair and then post it for you all to see. If it turns out well, and he wants to make more, and it can be done and a profit made at 200.00 then we'll pay and post in the classified section as a product available for all.
One question: Tweeter up or tweeter below?

Re: Kick Panels for speakers
When I start work on interior I am planning on fabbing up my own that would be designed to work around the dimmer and the e-brake, if there was enough interest in them I may start producing them in mass, but I don't plan to start on mine until sometime this spring atleast, I will make my own post once I do though, or will show them off in my build thread

Re: Kick Panels for speakers
You guys should contact Subtle71 (real name is Dean). He had his custom made locally (Jackson). Those guys might be willing to make them. His are phoenominal (sp).
Hope that helps.

Re: Kick Panels for speakers
I guess it doesn't really matter, most people seem to put the tweeter high
Pics: (I put an un-related picture of my favorite interior ever below - would love to know what the seats came out of, or talk to the owner!!!!)

Re: Kick Panels for speakers
That one looks like it comes out a lot farther than mine does. Also, notice the one pictured is tilted forward a little.

Re: Kick Panels for speakers
Im talking to a friend of mine who owns a woodshop about possibly starting to make these. I'd have to make a mold first but if i do go through with it I would have some by the end of jan. Anybody have any ideas or tips as to what they would like to see in them?

Re: Kick Panels for speakers
Just make sure the woofer angles up and out, the tweeter is above and to the right the woofer and is available in black material.
