BryanDRussell Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Wanting to put speakers in the kick panels of the car. Pulled off the panels and found a section real deep with a cross piece in front of it. Anyone know if that piece can be removed, or is it a structual piece?

rocketraider Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Before I went cutting kickpanels or metal, I'd check with a good custom car stereo shop about aftermarket kickpanels designed for 6-1/2" speakers. You see them on ebay for 64-5 A-body cars frequently, and odds are they're made for 68-72 also.Olds never used kickpanel speakers with their multiplex stereo radios to my knowledge- someone correct me if I'm wrong. Chev and Buick did, they were 4" with metal grilles installed right at the bottom of the kickpad. Check some of the Chevelle sites for pics.But I think I'd still look for some aftermarket pieces. Two reasons- better sound as the part is designed for best imaging, projection and durability, and you don't butcher your hard to find factory parts if you ever decide to undo things.

BryanDRussell Posted May 1, 2003 Author Share Posted May 1, 2003 I can only fit 4" speakers in there with the cross piece in place. Only way to fit in 6" is to cut, and I am not real confortable doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
