Default Kickpanel Speakers

Anyone have kickpanel speakers in their vette? I have a set of 6.5 speakers but it looks like they are going to be too big. If you have any pics please share. Thanks

The guy whom I bought the 68 put in 6' pioneers and they barely fit. 6.5" is pushing it and you'll definetly have to trim the grills.

i decided to go with 4" components. They should fit behind the kick pannel with out a problem.

I'll have some pics next week...... i hope

I am using CDT HD-42 speakers, and Edesign audio a10 sub, and a 500 watt Soundstream amp.

Should be thumpin' this time next week!

Here is my inspiration for the sub box (minus the 6x9s )

That is one of my favorite C3s..... I wonder who owns it now???
