hey Scott and Mark, thanks for all that great info. Maybe I'll explore the kick panel route. I'll have to find out how much clearance I have to work with and see what speakers available here will fit.

just curious, Scott - you mentioned the stock radio is still used for am/fm, is it going through your zapco amp too?

oh, and just in case I push it a little and get a 6.5 component speaker set, what would be the best place to mount the tweeter?

Ian
