Hi, I am currently putting a system together for my son's 00 GMC 1500 x-cab. I am installing 2 pairs of 6.5 's in the front. I cant seem to find Q-Form kick panels for 6.5's, so I was wondering if anyone has done an install using 2 in each door. How difficult is it? Any tips would be great. Thanks ------------- PCM1024

Do you believe that the dual 6's are mandatory for sound purposes, or do you just want to see 2 6's when you open the door?

It is definately for sound. Looks really has nothing to do with it. Im looking for very loud and extreme good sound qulity. I have purchased all new equipment for the system already.

OK gotcha...Man....Sounds like your ready. I ruined 2 sets of door panels on a honda learning how to fiberglass a door. Thanks to Pick&Pull, 3rd time was the charm for perfection. All said and done, I wasted more $$$ in material than it would of cost to have it done. Probably by double...HAH. Not to mention countless hours of time. I fabricated a 6.5 at the bottom front corner of the door panel, a 5.25 above that and 2 tweets inline above those. Then crossed them over from lowest(bottom)-highest(top). Each speaker was re-aimed facing drivr/pssngr. Long story short.. It takes alot of bass to match it and timing was off because of the highs were so loud and close.

After a couple days of deliberation, Ive decided to build a small enclosure below center dash on the hump, and angle the second pair of 6 1/2s slightly toward driver and passenger. I am using two sets of punch 162s series speakers driven by a Kicker ZX350.4 amp. These come with 4 tweets per pair, so I will put 1 pair in A pillar and 1 pair in C pillar along with a set of 4X6s in the rear doors running off of deck power for fill. The high end should sound Great
