RetroSound kickpanel speaker

[Perpendicular]

As an ex-audiophile I am curious as to why y'all are wanting to run spacers? Are you concerned that the magnet would be resting on the panel, or?

I used a foam tape in-between the speakers and the panel, put sound deadening material on the panel and installed everything. Sounds as good as can be expected with so little space available and as much power I am pushing. BTW, I am using Alpine 6.5's.

The speaker sticks out the back of the kick panel and will hit the kick panel portion of the cab body. Which model Alpine 6.5's are you using?

I get that piece, but if you are already spacing it out (effectively pushing the speaker out from the panel), what is wrong with it doing that?

Are you thinking you will get better sound if it is away from the trucks panel doing that? The sound deadening material I am using acts as a buffer for the magnet to the truck cab.
