kick panel speaker pods

[CopperRanger]

Thinking off getting the kick panel speaker pods from bronco hut. Has any one bought them, if so how do you like them, pros/cons how did you mount them. Looking for feedback, Thanks

There was an awesome thread on this awhile back. The glasser that makes them for Bronco Hut is a member here. I think JBZ or something like that. They are awesome pods. I want to get them too.

Me too. That's the only thing stopping me from buying a set.

Ordering a set soon. Sounds like you are keeping those molds busy.

If I were to make them in a 6.5 version,what speakers would you like to run?I've looked into some JBL boat speakers but would like some input.

Nice work JGZ. Are you building rear quarters?

 

[JGZ]

Thanks.I've thought about doing some rear 1/4s.Just a lot of variables to deal with.That and time.You built some nice parts yourself.Are you still building.your parts?

I have a set ordered from bronco hit and plan to modify or shoe horn some 6.5 if possible. I have a set of jl audio tower speakers and plan to add these to the kick panel http://jlaudio-mobile.shptron.com/c...ries_cockpit-coaxial-systems_6-5-inch-systems

I'm also on board for the 6 1/2" pods. Let me know if these become available! The speakers I'm looking at are still under 2" in top mount depth so I wouldn't think it would affect the parking brake much more.

I just installed them with the recommended Alpine5 1/4" speakers. Happy with the pods, covered them in unbacked auto carpet. Relocating the parking brake is easy but with a manual trans you lose foot room but it is what it is if you want kicks. Might switch to a pullout parking brake later to get rid of the pedal and get the foot room back. Only thing I'm not loving is the off-axis response of the alpines absolutely sucks. The whole point of kicks is minimizing path length differences so the soundstage is centered. Will probably swap the speakers for something with an angled tweeter if I can find one shallow enough.

So what are they?

You should build them. I'm selling rear sets at $1100 but I don't have a mold. Each piece is hand laid so they take about a week to build and a few days to prep for paint. If these were pressed into a mold it would be much faster and cost much less.
I have a few pics in "my garage" on here.

Go to post 111 of the link mudstud provided. I installed 6.5's in mine.

6.5" Speaker Pods

So what are they?

These are the ones I was looking at. There are least a few others made by other manufacturers I bet would work as well.

I think the Rockford fosgate marine speakers would look great in a bronco also:
Rockford Fosgate M262 6.5" 150W

Any update on possible 6.5" molds?
