I am looking at adding front speakers and saw GMC Pauls and Jim Carter sell kick panels. What are your thoughts? My original dash has been cut so I cant put a stock radio and dual voice coil speaker up front. I guess I can but dont want to re weld the opening.
Thanks,

You would probably be better off with a behind-the-seat all in one triangular speaker box, with a single woofer and upward firing tweeters (usually a horn of some kind) - as long as the gas tank is out of the cab. You can place some small dome tweeters on the dash to fill out the high ranges. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 221 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 221 | The worst place to install speakers is facing each other. | | |
