Problem with door mounted speakers, is they can't be very deep, because of the window. Set the speaker too deep & you won't be able to roll the window down.

The front kick panel is a popular location to put them.

 

IVE SEEN THIS DONE AND ALOT OF OLD SKOOL CARS THEY ARE USUAL AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE PANEL

 

I think the problem is that the motor for the window is in that bottom corner, alot of people make custom door panels that come out more for the door speakers. I know on the new power doors im installing on my 74 K5 blazer the motor for the window is right in that front corner so now i need to move my 6.5s that I had in the old manual doors.

 

YOU GOT ANY PICS?

 

no, i don't think its very hard to remove the door panel though. Ive noticed most people build basically a "spacer" so the speak doesn't sit so far in the door or at all, seeing this would lead me to believe that simply cutting a hole wont due the trick.

 

kinda like this

 

yes. just like that.

 

Damn is it hard to do that?? Would you keep the stock speakers in the dash as extra speakers? That looks awesome!

 

the door panel's not very rigid, so you'll need to beef them up a bit if you dont want all your mids/bass to be absorbed due to vibration. best thing to do would be to make enclosures of sorts and bolt them to the door sheet metal. i did a 3-way setup (semi-successfully) in my last car with the tweeter and mid in the kicks and the midbass in the doors. If I do it again, I'd definitely just stick to a 2-way setup in the kicks. Best layout for distance and not a lot of work to get the setup to look well.
