I think if you do either one of those sessland your not going to be able to reach your high beam switch.

Learning the trade one fiberglass creation at a time!

I am planning on relocating it. Obviously it won't work the way it is.

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find.

Awesome. It's even the same color scheme that I'm using.

Thank a mil, this gives me a great idea.

BTW, How did it sound with the speakers in that location?

Dashrat- NICE!

Sessland- You could always do the same design that Dashrat executed. But if you aren't going to use the vents that are located in the kicks, why dont you recess a portion of the kickpanel in that area so your kickpanels dont eat up too much of your floorspace.

I had done a set of panels for an early 60's chevrolet truck that had to accomodate some 6x9's. I first made a fiberglass mounting box molded to the "pocket" where the vents are located, part of the outside mounting lip also served as the base where the speaker mounting baffle was going to be aimed and anchored. I then made stretched material from the aimed mounting baffle to the mounting box to give the exterior a smooth fluid appearance.

Or another option is to replace the high beam floor switch with a relay and a small switch located elsewhere to control the highbeams. ( had to do this for a 84 Bronco that I did kicks for)

Good Luck!
