Default Speaker question?

I've had my radio upgraded by Wards Classic Car Radio Repair (Great job!!!!).

They state: You now have 45 watts per channel, As much as 180 watts total with 4 channels.

I have the original dash speakers and they sound very tinny.

My question is: What would the best speakers be for the kick panels? I don't want to cut the kick panels, looking for something that will fit behind them.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Russ

to start with you have to ask them what OHM rating the speakers have to be.

As MelWff points out though make sure the OHM ratings match.

Thanks, looked over their paperwork and it doesn't mention OHMs.

Will call and ask tomorrow.

Thanks again.

I used kicker 4x6's in the kick panels and the dash. You cannot see them.
