kick panel speaker location

ok,ok..i'm going to take everyones advice and not cut the door's and do some kick panel speakers.even though i think there uglier than a mud fence. now,on a 73-87 it doesn't look like there's a whole lotta room on drivers side, what size 5 1/4 or 6 ? . mounting depth must be an issue?any pics or template,advice..it would all be welcome

Re: kick panel speaker location





Mine hold 5 1/4 and some tweeters...
These are the qlogic kick panels, I got them off cardomain for like $140, plus speakers. I went for the top end fosgate separates, they rock da' house!
I do have some 3 1/2 speakers in the dash, but I'm sure the kick panels/speakers would do the job without the dash speakers just fine.

Re: kick panel speaker location

that looks good.but how about just adding to your stock kick panel?they built that one like there may be a depth issue.also,you ever stomp or kick that?

Re: kick panel speaker location

I have not had a problem, probably because I am very aware that they are down there. I can see it being in the way of people with work boots or something other than flip flops or sneakers only when entering or exiting the vehicle, they are really not in the way. The ebrake will go down, just have to be careful, I don't even use the ebrake myself..
