where should i put these speakers.

Hey i just bought an 69 oldsmobile torando with the w-30 package 455. Now the car is mint so im not gonna do nothing fancy except put in 2 6 by 9's and two 6.5 speakers. Now heres the problem their is only one speaker all together with the car. A 6 by 9 in the back right behind the back seat where the armrest usally is. So where shpould i put the two 6 by 9" And does anybody sell custum kick panels for a 69 olsmobile torando?

You're on the right path. Put some custom kick panels in for the 6" drivers. If you haven't bought them yet, go ahead and buy components if you can spare the change.

I'd forget about the 6x9 plan and just put a subwoofer in a box in the trunk if you don't want to modify anything. Rear fill has minimal value, in my opinion certainly not enough to justify cutting some sort of hole in the deck of a mint car like that.

To sum: Spend money on putting some top notch 6" components in the kicks and buy a subwoofer in a box to fill out the bass. A 4-channel amplifier to power them and you're done.

I agree with kfr01, scrap the 6x9 idea and get some serious 6'' components.

I wished i would have checked back earlier. I have already ordered a set of 6 by 9's and some 6.5's.  i also ordered an 4 channel amps to push these. Plus i have 2 15 inch eclispe subs going in. I checked all the kick panel. places but nobody has any kick panels for my car. Can anybody recommened a good kick panel site?

Not on my two cents i can't think of any. What kind of 6x9's and 6.5'' did you get?

plus it is also fact, that 6x9's are weaker in build structer than a 6.5. i just cant remember why though. i think it may have to do with the shape of the cone and comming in contact with the spider

I ordered the infinity kappa series 6 by 9's and the same with the 6.5's all by infinity.

Those are decent speakers so you shoudn't be dissappointed with clean power running too them.

Are the 6 1/2 component sets?   If so sell off the 6 x 9's and just get more then enough power to your components and you will be fine

You usually should run your speakers 20 W over the RMS on components and you'll make them sound great. Of course, this depends on the components. I was running 65 WRMS into a 45 Rms infinity and it cranked fine.

I will keep the 6 by 9's cause you never know when i might need them for another car.   i have noticed in the past when i keep extra audio stuff around it comes in handy .  im gonna go to my local shop in the morning and see how much they will charge for an kick panel. What should the cost be?  Im in  Minnesota.

What i would do is put those 6x9's in a little box and use them in your house. Why not right? I put a pair of Infinity's in my house and they work out fine.
