Is there any speakers that fit optimal in the stock 914 kickpanel speaker boxes?
Autobahn has a pair of 4" x 6" 2 way that look like they might fit. I already have "cut door panles with old 6" speakers so I was looking at placing speakers in the door panels and in the kick panels or picking up those custom kick panels that hold a larger speaker...6 " I think. There's gotta be someone out there who has done this so I don't have to engineer the project from the ground up. rob |

Even though you can't seal a door very well, most 6.5 speakers are designed to be used in a large open area. If you go with door speakers, use x-mat or dyna-mat or any of the sound deadening materials available and cover the entire side of the door behind the door panel. Wrap all the moving parts(the rods that open and lock/unlock the doors etc.) with a plastic bag or something to allow them not to stick to the adhesive. It helps tremendously with the bass response, and to keep things from rattling.
