Kick Panel Speakers Alternatives

For those who want dual speakers but are hesitant to cut a hole in your kick panels ... You can purchase period correct speakers off eBay and use Velcro tape to fasten your speakers to the panels vs cutting out a hole or purchasing kick panel speaker kits.

These are two sets of speakers that I have.

Just an idea.

Re: Kick Panel Speakers Alternatives

I haven’t seen a pair of Craigs in 30 years. Another idea if you want the period correct look but want a better quality sound- replace the speaker in the cool old timey box. Thanks for sharing.

Good point on searching of the speakers in the boxes

I don't remember when Craig and Pioneer were the same ... I always remember them as two separate product lines

The Mesa speaker are pretty rare - they made high end speakers and a few car speakers.

Both are mid 70's speakers I believe
