Speakers

Post by joshmeacham »

Well....someone already cut holes up in the cab behind the doors. And i've got some 5 1/4's to fit there. But what are you guys doing about speakers up front? You can't really cut into the front kick panels because of the core support behind, and i really hate to put speaker in doors built like these. Is there anyone out there making kick panels from fibergalss or somthing? Just thought id check, haven't really found anything searching the web or this site for the last few days. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Someone did make fiberglass ones but I don't know who that was. I have a couple of them hanging on the kick panels with industrial velcro. They have been there almost 10 years (sheesh, been that long??? :pale ). Never had any trouble with them falling off and in fact the couple times I had to pull one out it was quite a chore. The industrial stuff doesn't want to let go. I don't recall where I got it.

I plan on doing two tucked up under the dash, just not in the center speaker hole. That's me sunglass holder ;) Does anyone on here mount there speakers up in the back of the cab? I don't even know which wire plugs into my radio it was unplugged antenna and speakerless when i got it. So I rock the 80s boombox. Oh and i think aluminum speaker boxes would be cooler than fiberglass easier and cleaner to make too.

Thats what i'm looking for..maybe with a tweeter componet setup....tried to email hotrodjohn68 but haven't heard back. May modify a set of Q-Logic speaker kick panels ment for another application.

Do search on the board, there are drawings of speaker boxes that will fit under the seat. These held a 6 x 9 speaker.
