64 Impala Kick panels

I got started yesterday with my kick panel project for the 64 Impala and quickly realized all the work I did yesterday will not work and will also end up looking very poor. I am in desperate need for some ideas how to get a 6.5" and 1" tweeter in there. Biggest problem that I am running across on the driver's side is the floor mounted high beam switch and foot operated emergency brake pedal. If anyone has any ideas, specially any pictures I would really appreciate it. Help me get my creativity wheels rolling.

take some pictures of your situation so people can get an idea of what is going on to help our creative wheels going.

I lent a buddy my camera, when he gives it back I will.

i've had the same problem in my 69. too much crap operated by the feet. i've considered for some time, putting a sound box low profile in front of the seats... the sound would come up through your legs. i laid a speaker in a makshift holder there, and i'm not sure i liked it, but i may have no other choice in bringing the speakers forward.    you can't move the seats around much, but its a true honest to god 2 seater, and the seat mechs are so old they barely work anyways. just push them all the way back and away you go. lol.

Sessland, I don't know if your up for it but you could build a center console and mount your components in the sides of the console. the sound would still be coming about the same location but in the middle of the car instead of in the kick panels. I also ran into the same problem with my '62 Lincoln Continental, and I'm planning on using this idea. Thought it might be helpful.Nothing is impossible!

Thanks for the idea, but not really what I'm looking for. So far it looks like moving the high beam switch over a few inches would make things much more flexible. Still looking for some ideas though, and will post the pictures on monday when I get my cam back. thanks for the ideas so far.

i am building kick panels for my 64 right now and if you mve your highbeam switch over and make the kick panel close to the front of the car then you shouldnt have a problem with the brake   i just took my brake out and i am planing on relocating it at an angle to keep it from hitting the panel i wil post pics sundayif it cant be done do it anyway

Why dont you mount the hardware in the door?

Sorry for the long delay between following up on this. Took me a while to get my camera back and then a hurricane knocked my internet out for a month. Ok, here are some pictures of what I have to work with and I have roughly positioned a speaker mount so you get an idea of the sizes I'm working with. I have decided to sacrifice the stock plastic covers and incorporate them into the kickpanel design. I figured I could mount my speaker ring with some dowels to the plastic and go from there. Here is what is hiding behind the plastic. When the covers are on, there isn't all that much room behind there. Here is the cover on. You can see the emergency brake pedal and the floor mounted high beam switch. The rest of the pics are of possible configurations. Let me know what position you think would sound best and we'll see what obstacles that might come with.
