Product Description

Looking to install speakers into your late model Type 3? Look no further! Our front speaker kick panels for 1970 to 1973 Type 3s (Notchback, Squareback, Fastback) are made of thick, heavy-duty fiberglass to resist vibration and noise associated with cheap ABS plastic panels. These high-quality kick panels are the best on the market! Our panels provide up to 4" of space behind the mounting surface to mount a variety of different round speakers up to 6.5" wide.

The kick panels are finished in black and can be installed under or over existing carpet in the footwell area without impeding foot movement. The panels direct sounds up and inward to provide optimum sound quality. Mounting hardware not included. See "Tech Tips" tab above for installation instructions.

Note: We do not recommend installing speakers into your door panels. In addition to exposing them to moisture, the door panel material and clips are not strong enough to hold today's heavy magnet speakers. You will ruin the speaker and the door panel in short order. We offer these panels to save you the headache of redoing your sound system!

Helpful Hints

Really Easy Instructions

You'll need:

  1. 40 grit sandpaper
  2. Jigsaw with a fine blade
  3. Electric drill with 1/8" bit
  4. Phillips screwdriver (or drill with phillips screwdriver bit)
  5. Template for your speaker (usually comes with your system)
  6. Pieces of cardboard to practice on
  7. 8 Sheet metal screws.

 

1) Decide whether you will mount Speaker Panels over or under existing or new carpet, then;

2) Pre-fit the Speaker Panel up against your kick panel area above the heater channel. Some trimming may be required simply by using sandpaper. We recommend putting insulation, carpet or some type of pad behind the speaker, up against the metal kick panel area of your car. This makes your system "sound" better.

3) Once you are satisfied with the fitting of the speaker panel and its ready to install, you can now insert your speakers:

First, cut out the hole using the template, or practice on cardboard. If you drill the hole too big, then you'll have to buy another set and start over again. It is best to cut out the hole with the jigsaw, smaller than the template shows, them use sandpaper to make your speaker fit perfectly.

Mount your speakers, tweeter, etc. into the Speaker Panel.

4) Now, drill 4 holes, one at each comer using a drill with 1/8" bit. Hold the panel exactly where you previously pre-fit, and drill thru the panel and the metal kick panel of your car. Then screw the 4 screws into both, with a screwdriver (or drill with phillips screwdriver bit). Note: Bonding or attaching the speaker panel to your kick panel area without screws, will not allow access to your speaker, if you ever need to get to it. Carpet over if you choose.

Remember, if you have any questions, call us. We are happy to assist you!

Our shipping policy is as follows:
We ONLY ship within the United States and its territories.

Orders over $100 will receive free shipping within the continental United States. Freight on under $100 will be $9.95. Large packages ship FedEx. Smaller packages ship US Priority Mail. Delivery time averages 1-5 business days after it ships.

Most orders to Hawaii, Alaska, APO/FPO, Puerto Rico and other US territories are shipped by the US Postal Service. The shipping costs for these orders are billed at the time of shipping.

For expedited shipping, you must call us. All express orders are personally handled by the representative you speak with in order to streamline the process. Please do not request express shipping via email. Emails are reviewed in the order they are received which could possibly delay your shipping.

Shipping on any returns is the customer's responsibility. If your order qualified for free shipping and a returned item reduces your order below the $100, you will be charged the according shipping cost for the order.

Returns

90 Day Return Policy

You can return most unused, never installed, like-new items for 90 days from the date of receipt. Items must be in like-new condition. The following items are final sale:
  • Special order items
  • Special order upholstery
  • Electrical items
  • Installed carburetors
Like-new Condition: JBugs may refuse a return when the returned item is not in like-new condition. These situations will lead to refused returns:
  • Installed items
  • Items missing parts or the original packaging material
  • Items damaged in return shipping due to improper packaging
  • Carburetors that smell like fuel
  • Damage due to customer negligence
  • Items with scour marks that show installation or attempted installation from nuts, bolts, screw-driver’s, washers, etc.

Returns must be sent in a proper shipping box.
With the exception of parts that are shipped to you in the original manufacturer packaging (example - TMI door panels, floor pans, complete front beams, etc), please be sure to return the parts with an external box or protective packaging around the parts you are returning. Most manufacturer packaging boxes are not rated for shipping and can become damaged or destroyed as they are too thin to withstand forces applied during the shipping process. Failure to do so will result in a higher restocking/reboxing fee or outright refusal of the return if the part cannot be restocked in the same condition it arrived at you.
