Front speaker in kick panel installation?

[70charginglizard]

I've purchased and extra set of kick panels from e-bay (so I don't have to cut up my originals) for front speaker installation, there are on there way.
Has anyone here done this with a 2nd gen charger and if so, was there any cutting behind the kick panel that had to take place? What size front speakers did you use? I'd liek to go with 6 1/2 dia. Where did you placed them in the kick panels?

Just cut big holes in your door panels, speakers look great there.

almost any speaker will interfere with the park brake

70charginglizard, I thought about doing the same thing, but I didn't what to cut that big of a hole to flush mount the speaker to clear the parking brake.  I ended up installing two 4" round speakers mounted in the dash where the single speaker use to be. Doesn't sound too bad because my 6x9's in the back do most of the work.  Robert

Used to use the old 5 1/4" round speakers way back when.    Now I just don't.

I noticed a while ago somebody had posted a way of cutting grilles into the kick panel so that the sound would come through without the use of the cover plate (much like what the package tray looks like).  It was a nice job. I think they used a dremel tool to make the cuts.

There isn't much room behind there on either kick panel.  Yoou'd pretty much have to have most of the speaker on the outside I think.
