Kick panel speakers

[dusterbd13]

Couldn't find anything currently available during a Google search. I would love to do kicks panels speakers in my Duster. Preferably six and a half inch components. Is there anybody still making the kick panel speaker enclosures that I haven't been able to find?

Retro Manufacturing has them: Kick Panels for 1970-1976 Plymouth Duster
And Crutchfield sells the Retro units as well.

Classic Industries has multiple options.
I went with these as I already had the speakers

What i ended up with

The above were Retro Sound. Added my own speakers and grills from Amazon.
The kick panels were cheap with out covers and no speakers came with covers. So bought as covers and speakers separately at Amazon. And Black Friday RetroSound grills empty but came with free mat insulation cut to size for kick panels.

I used something similar to these when mounting my 6 1/2 speakers. I didn't mold them to the panel, but they could easily be glassed in if someone wanted to spend some time making them look nice.

I took small drywall mud containers, mounted the speakers in the bottom, cut the tops off, leaving 4 'tabs' in the plastic.

Cut 4 slits in the kickpanel, put the tabs through, drilled holes, riveted them.

Covered with cheap thin black carpet/fabric I had laying around.

Only issue is vents do not open all the way. Even if I just hold the speakers up to that area without the kickpanel on they stick out the same distance.
6.5 speakers, at least these, are pretty darn big, but the sound is fantastic.

I might swap in the molded kickpanels, but I have 3x5 speakers in my truck, and was unable to find a set that has great sound.

I made a video on the Custom Auto units. I love them.

where are your guy's parking brakes? the drivers side retrosound panels wouldn't fit in my 76 without ditching or relocating the parking brake pedal. my drivers side kick panel is cut out to clear it.

No pedal, pull handle under dash.

Not my car or projects but would paint grill to match so they blend in.
And was wondering why yours had holes on it. Glad ya said why. I even went to look and see if I had holes and did not notice lol.
