I know there might not be such a huge market but ditch light brackets are a must.. a strong bracket.

I'll whip something up lol. I got you guys !

Cruiser Cult shared with me their knuckle mounted ones and I'm so sold on that - they point with the steering ! I get the initial thought that it would collect mud or get smashed but they insist they don't and I would have to agree. Gotta pick up a pair soon.

... heck, people keep thinking my door panels are gonna scald babies but they actually stay cool due to the powder coating. Plus, just because it's grandpa's old truck doesn't mean you can't have nice ceramic tint on it to help preserve the interior and cut heat radiation. My 2c

need is a strong word - no one needs a sub or 6x9s! Just the sweet sweet hum of a 2F!

BUT - the reason for that comment is that 6x9s offer more low end than 6" rounds (typically) and do offer, for the casual listener, a pretty good sound experience. Most cars with 'good sound' don't have a sub but put 6x9 speakers in the rear deck above the passenger seats to get more range out of a standard package. Fitting a sub both in volume (extra space it needs to work well) and power (wattage) can be cumbersome.

I've definitely not heard the whole gambit of offerings out there, especially from custom manufacturers, but I wouldn't say a pair of 6x9 is going to replace a 10" or greater dedicated subwoofer 1:1 but average 6x9 will offer more low end than average 6" sheerly due to size.

Let’s ask these two for their opinions on speaker size…. Do you really need a sub?



But, we must have a fair and balanced debate here. We’ll ask her how she “feels” about subs vs 6x9’s…

Got one panel in! Color and fit are great!
Before:

After:

They are going to look sharp with the factory grills. Need to carefully measure and drill once.

I haven’t panels on in the rear for 8 years! It’s crazy to see it all covered now.
