Any recommendations for kick panel speaker replacements ? As I remember there isn't a ton of room there.

I just installed a pair of these Kicker 4x6 and they’re great! Had to grind down a few places on the mounting plate in order for it to fit in between the posts of the speaker grill, but not much.

I installed the larger pods from 914 Rubber with Infinity Kappa IX speakers. Considerable enhancement of sound. Still no big low-end, but huge difference due to larger size/magnets over the crap 3x5's that sit in the original grills.

These are a direct replacement for plastic factory ones. Save yours if they are good and don't modify them. These will add more sound than you can get with the factory housing.

We are actually doing another run on them now. If I can get 10 takers I'll do a Group Buy for 20% off.

I will take a set! I tried to buy them for Black Friday. I had them in my cart and they were in stock, but the discount was not working on time. By the time the BF discount started to work they were "out of stock". So thank you for the group buy discount offer. Count me in!

I installed the same ones, good fit in the original housings with little rework.
I stuffed as much sound insulating foam as possible into the housings when mounting them back to the car.

Hidden the frunk is a 4x75W Class D Amp from ESX and bass is provided by a passive bass box (ESX) behind the drivers seat. Might install the bass box under the dash though. Sound is quite impressive.
Maybe I will try the bigger enclosures in the future to be able to install bigger speakers in the footwell. Winter project (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
