This is the guy I bought them from. https://garytayman.com/kickpanel.htm

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Take care,

What speakers did you use? As you mentioned l, the depth is a big issue. Custom Autosound sells the Infinity Reference speakers with the panels and they are too deep for mine by a lot. I only have < 1.5” of depth

I used small Kicker speakers that are the size for the kick panel. They fit pretty good. I don't remember the model number. If you need it I can see if I can find the paperwork for them.

Please- the Infinitys are 2.5” deep and hit the metal with 1” sticking out past the kick panels.

How do you like the sound of yours?

They sound good, but to be honest, I rarely have the stereo on. It interferes with the exhaust sound. 🙄
The paperwork is in the attic. I will try to get up there this weekend and see if I can figure out which speakers I bought.

I found the paperwork and I bought them at BestBuy. The model number is 43CSC654 which seems to be the same number as the one you attached above. They must have changed the grill since I bought mine.
This is it at Crutchfield, but I think it has been discontinued, https://www.crutchfield.com/S-r3dEr4...-43CSC654.html
This is the new one that cross references at BestBuy, https://www.bestbuy.com/site/kicker-...?skuId=6333353

My paperwork says the top mounting depth is 3/8" and the bottom mounting depth is 1 11/16". If I remember correctly, they fit but they were still up against the insulation.

Hope this helps,
Dale

I ended up with Infinity Reference shallow depth speakers which are the same ones Custom Autosound sells with their kick panels. I painted the kick panels SEM Saddle as I couldn’t find a good match for the door panels otherwise. I’ll have to get used to the color. The drivers side speaker makes contact with the inner body panel and I put hushmat on both sides.
The parking brake pedal I moved at the dash point about an inch towards center - I had to make a plate for the attach point. Both kick panels are for an AC car.
