ok well i have a 71 lemans, and so far all i have are rear deck speakers. i have two infinity reference 6x9s in the rear deck and they sound good. i was just wondering would it be a good idea to retro fit some 6.5s or maybe 4s in the front kick panels? the only thing that i thought would be wrong with that is that they are so low down in the car they wouldnt be heard as well especially on the highs.

i had 2 71 impala's
74 caprice
73 caprice

on mine i put the tweeters in the metal pilars
and used 5.25 mid in the door panel on the top portion , and crossover in the glove box

i did that on all 4 cars

6.5 would not fit , lemans is ponitac and gm so i imagine th door panel is similar


but if you want 6.5 than yes fabricate in the kick

gonna sound better than what you have now, nothing

good luck

yea i was thinking about the tweeters in the metal A pillars like you were saying but i dont feel like doing all that. i also dont want to cut up the door panels seeing as they are a lot of money to replace if i ever needed to. i was thinking of putting it in the kick panels so i would at least have some sound coming from up front. do you think shallow mount 6.5s would work? what about a 4 or 5.25 like you said? thanks.

take off the kick and see how much depth you have behind it

i would think 5,25 will fit
