Sonic Nirvana - How to Build Kick Pods in Classic Chevy Truck

I've had a couple of requests in the past few weeks on how I built my kick pods for my 1961 truck (Took 2nd place at the 68th Grand National Roadster Show in January 2017), and thought I would share some thoughts on how to achieve "sonic nirvana" in your own truck...if there is such a thing!

I'll start with a photo of my driver side kick pod here, share some theory on what sizes will and will not work for speakers in kick pods and why, talk a bit about speaker placement and alignment and then finish with how I built my own kick pods. If I had known there was going to be so much interest, I would have taken more pictures while I was building them.

For you younger guys out there...I wish I would have had this information about 20 years ago when I was still competing in car sound...I've learned from some of the best minds in the world!
