the truck is an extended cab...i dont think im going to try to seal the front speakers due to all the crap under the dash that is in the way and the mess i will make...the back may be doable...but im not sure if im gonna be that picky....has anyone ever tried those foam baffles from crutchfield? i would imagine you may be able to put some resin on the outside of the baffle to give it some strength...maybe that may help...dont know if they are worth the effort.
as far as the kickpanels go, i take it you are referring to the plastics on the side by your feet? they are on my list as last resort of the other stuff doesnt work out...i may put a set of good 4" on an adapter in the front mounts and use the kickpanels...just trying to see what needs to be done to clear the emergency brake...
