Hi,
My front bose kickpanels had been long disconnected and not used after previous owners fitted aftermarket system (probably after amp failure etc).


For a quick upgrade I stripped them down and found extra shallow speakers (34mm 200w) to replace the bose ones without much of a modification.


The only thing I had to do to get them to fit was to cut using my dremmel a 2 inch circle to allow room for the centre of the new speaker in the drivers side. Took 5mins max.
Passenger side no mod needed.


I then covered in speaker material and dye'd the plastic black and now have functioning kick panels again!

 

Im in the process of doing the same thing right now.
i used 6.5" round . same procedure. let me know how they sound i dont have a head unit yet

 

Me three. I have a set of these Bose cowl side panels (kick panels) that I intend to do the same thing with. Need more mids than the 4x6s front and rear can provide.

Got the pass side done tonite driver side is ready to be covered but I'm done for the nite

 

Looks good, I am not going to get to fit mine for a few weeks as I have to replace carpet first. Are you keeping dash speakers ? I was hoping I could do away with them

 

Yes I took them out I'm refinishing the dashboard and wrapping in pleather so I filled speaker holes

 

Got the dr,side done

 

Does one of you still have the old original speakers.

i'm looking for one, to replace a bad one in my own kick panel.

thanks

 

The speakers in mine had been changed out for cheap one years before I bought them. Sorry.

 

Someone on eBay is selling a clean looking set of these kick panels with the Bose speakers still in time for about $80 shipped.

 

Thanks a lot TRANS AM 1992,

I was already following this item on eBay.

But, I got a hit this morning in another thread.
30$
