So, im looking into possibly upgrading my interior speaks. In my s-15 jimmy, it comes stock w/ 4x6's in the dash. I saw some 4" component sets online. Should i stick w/ the stock location? I would love to do kick panels but i have no experience w/ fiberglass and i dont feel like shellin out the $$$ for q logics.
i was also planning on removing my stock 6x9's in the back and putting a 6" or 6.5" midbass back there.
I want your guys opinoins

i am in the process of doing my own fiberglass project and really its not too hard once you get the hang of it. It is costly though, I spent 100$ on fiberglass supplies...although I bought everything from home depot, so you could easily find fiberglass stuff cheaper (at marinas and such).

might be kind of cool if you could cut out bigger holes in the back and put in two 8" subs or something.

by the way, those qlogic kickpanels... what are they charging for those these days?

I found kick panels on sounddomain.com for $129.99 but they werent for my exact year. So im not sure if they would even work. I do live right near like 5 marina's so maybe i will look into that. i would like to learn how to 'glass anyways.
As for the speakers in the back, the 6x9's are kinda integrated in with the ashtrays so i have a bunch of space...i was planning on making a whole new plate to put in its place...maybe now ill see if i have enough room for an 8".
thanx for the input

when we did the fiberglass for my speakers, it cost like $50 for both. even buying the gallon of resin. we bought felt on sale for like $1.50/yard though.
