Sorry I just now saw this. The spacers I use are from Metra.

Re: RetroSound kickpanel speaker

@Hart_Rod - would you mind posting photos of your brake pedal mod with it off the arm - so I can see bracket and how it is now attached to the arm?

I am going to have my brother do something like this (or just like you did) but I'll want to pass on some photos so he is perfectly clear what I am looking for. He'll be doing this remotely by me sending him a parking brake assembly.

Re: RetroSound kickpanel speaker

Bumping and old thread I know. Great info on speaker set ups in here. Just wondering, the classic radio has 4 channels, no one ran two 6x9s in boxes under the seats? In addition to kick panels?(I can't imagine 6x9s would sound very clean just on their own.)
I measured under my seat tonight and there is about 10 inches between bottom of seat and floor, so enough room for 6x9 box, even with lowered seat brackets

Re: RetroSound kickpanel speaker

i was going to shim up the seat rails about an inch with spacer blocks and then put a couple of these under mine with upgraded pioneer 6 inch speakers in the kick panels

Re: RetroSound kickpanel speaker

Something to think about. Every 6x9 I have seen and most car audio speakers 6" and smaller are designed for infinite baffle installation. Meaning no box or a leaky box. ie a door, trunk etc. Putting an IB speaker in a smaller box/enclosure will limit mid bass/bass response. Any air leakage from rear of speaker to front will also cancel mid bass/bass output. Those speakers in the small kick panels are probably dropping out at 300-600hz at best. Adjust sub crossover accordingly. If the sub reaches that high.

You can fit 6x9s in the kick panel area?

I'm thinking he meant 6" round speakers. But, if you don't mind cutting metal, losing your vents, and fabbing up part of the vent opening that, it could be done.

Agreed. I read that a little too fast the first time.
