GA Where do you put your 61/2s?

I was wondering if you guys cut your door panels do put your speakers in or do you put them in the kick panels?

6.5" go in rear and 4" up front anything bigger than 4" and you'd have to do some work to make them fit, but probably not too hard. this is true for FB's anyways, not sure about SA's.

I have removed my map pockets and put the speakers in door pods so they are angled up to the opposite side.

That looks realy nice.I may have asked the question wrong.I was meaning do you guys cut holes in your door panels for aftermarket speakers or just use stock locations.

I stuck with the stock locations. Blaupunkts in the back, Jensen dual-cones in the front. Sounds very stock.

Check out the link in my sig to see my setup. I had a shop make some pods for me. They had to cut some of the carpet material off the doors so the magnet would fit. I have 5 1/4's in the doors and 6.5's in the back. I had to trim a little bit of metal from the back since the stockers are 6 inch speakers. An Alpine deck and Rockford Fosgate 400W amp make this a really good system. A little Dynamat when she gets painted should tighten up the sound really well and I'll be even happier with it.

^ When I get my car painted I will be adding a bit of Dynamat or something like it to help cut down on the rattling. It's not too bad as it is, only during really bassy parts.

Kids, tsk tsk, who needs music. I took every bit of stereo equipment out of the widebody, mostly so I could put gauges in the center console panel. 3" exhaust is too loud to listen to anything anyway, lol.

music makes me concentrate, so yes i do need music ...if i don't have music i'm playing with buttons, doing this and that..trying to put my foot out the window and shift/accelerate using only one leg...you get the point i need distraction to concentrate if that makes sense...right side of the brain is too wild.

I've you have ever driven more than 100 miles without music, you know you NEED it. Besides, my exhaust isn't nearly as loud as yours so I can actually hear it :P
