Mine hold 5 1/4 and some tweeters...
These are the qlogic kick panels, I got them off cardomain for like $140, plus speakers. I went for the top end fosgate separates, they rock da' house!
I do have some 3 1/2 speakers in the dash, but I'm sure the kick panels/speakers would do the job without the dash speakers just fine.

that looks good.but how about just adding to your stock kick panel?they built that one like there may be a depth issue.also,you ever stomp or kick that?

I have not had a problem, probably because I am very aware that they are down there. I can see it being in the way of people with work boots or something other than flip flops or sneakers only when entering or exiting the vehicle, they are really not in the way. The ebrake will go down, just have to be careful, I don't even use the ebrake myself..

Did you have to cut away any metal?
