Sorry, but how did you get them without speakers? Used? You should be able to use any 6.5" speaker. Thats what I think they are for anyways. Look at speakers at a store. That size is only around 2" deep, so they would work.

well i bought them without speakers cause i wanted to get my own ones, i have this awesome book thats all wholesale. so i get my stuff out of there... thanks for your help

What place is this? Please let me know. How much were they?

Paul Clark · 08-07-2002, 12:07 AM

Please tell me where you got the panels.
Then find some Boston Acoustics to put in them.
That's what I want to do.
What did you do with the "center" speaker in the dash.

If you don't get Crutchfeild mag get it! They have list of speakers depths, and tons of good deals

I just bought mine from GMC PAULS I think they ran 79.00 without speakers, you can get them with some speakers for around 129.00 then the upgraded PIONERS run I think 179.00.

I put a set of INFINITY 6" in mine they fit well.

I know WES carries them in his store also.

I believe that the Pioneer speakers used on the kick panels are a 2-way model # TS-G1645 you can buy them through e-bay, These are a good speaker for kick panels due to the mounting depth.
I think they are still available though they may be a discontinued model.
Ebay 1645 speakers

You can get kick panels without speakers @ The Paddock. They are @ http://www.paddockparts.com/

i went with the kick panels and speaker pods from rod doors, i went with 5 1/4" so it would not enterfere with the parking brake (foot operated), if you have the other parking brake then you can go with 6.5's.
Boston Acoustics separates. sound great, cost a little more but worth it.
