speaker Kick panel....bummer

[ChevyDude]

Basically just reporting here. I am installing a modern high power stereo system in my 71' swb and figured I'd put the 6.5" round speakers in those pre-formed kick panels you can order from the various vendors. Got mine from the UPS guy about and hour ago. Went out to the garage and determined that my Infinity Kappa 6.5" round speakers are about an 1 1/2" too deep so I would have to add that amount to the outside of the plastic panel to make it work. After starring at for awhile I decided that will look like Crap...so the panels are going back and I will have to figure something else out. At the moment I am just thinking of making boxes and laying them on the floor right in front of the seats...wouldn't be in the way of your feet or the dimmer switch. So...if you have nice 6.5's ...they probably won't fit the pre-formed panels.
