I am in the process of redoing my interior. Debating the kick panels with speakers. Anyone running these? I would like to run a set without tweeters. Also, if you have them do you fee your foot kicks the speaker a lot?

Would love to see pics.

I have never used them on a squarebody, but the only issue I had with the kick panel speakers is it made it awkward to use the floor dimmer switch. Other than that, no issues. I opted for BigBlock73's 6x9 panels that fit in the cab corners. Good sound and fits the body style well.

Hadnt thought about the dimmer switch. Good thinking. I also got the 6/9 speakers boxes for the cab corners.

Thanks for the insight.
