The kick panels everyone is talking about are made by custom autosound. I have a set on order and for canadian guys there are Candian distributors for these things so you can save a few bucks in shipping.
Heres some before vinyl pics, easy really, got some 9mm mdf, cut out the shape of the shelf, cut holes for the speakers, I mounted my speakers underneath rather than on top but it wouldnt matter, the mopar logo is just foam glued onto the mdf and vinyled over, and used speaker grill cloth for above the speakers.
Top notch work there shortz! Very nice!
some pics of my kick panels. they are painted chrysler elctric blue now.
i made them. im liking the mdf rear package tray idea. where do you get the drill cloth? i have some old tower speakers in the house i need to cover.
The third picture shows an original 4"x10" speaker and how it is mounted under the dash grill. The other two pictures show how you can replace it with two speakers using my bracket. You can see how it mounts in the same location using the original studs.

Tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full. I would like to buy one of your speaker brackets if you are still making them.You can send me a PM here or email me at: [email protected]
Bought Jerry's speaker adapter plate a couple years ago. Very nice and worth the money. installed mine with 2 smaller speakers, plus the Custom Autosound kick panels.
My apologies. I just now emptied out the inbox. Since my son took our project car to Houston with him, I'm Mopar-less and don't spend much time in the forums anymore. Guess I should pop in every once in awhile to see what's going on.Tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full. I would like to buy one of your speaker brackets if you are still making them.
Here is a recent installation of one of my speaker brackets in a '69 Dart. The owner used a pair of 3-1/2" Blaupunkt speakers with no fitment problems. Let me know if I can help you with your project.

Sure, Tim, it's easy. Fortunately, the link to my order form is conveniently in my August 12, 2019 post just above yours. Click on that link and provide me with all of the pertinent data. I'll get back to you when I receive that information. Let me know if you have any other questions.can you direct me to where I can purchase this bracket?
Bill, believe it or not, that was more like four years ago in 2016 when you got one of my brackets. Time sure does fly by when you're old like the two of us!One comment. I bought the mounting plate a couple years ago along with a pair of Pioneer speakers. Make sure you mount the plate and the speakers securely. Just got around to testing mine as I finished up my project and there is a definite rattle coming from those speakers / mounting plate. Thought I mounted them very securely but obviously not. Too much trouble to get to them now. But the mounting plate is very nice, worth the money.

A solution to rattling that I have employed is to use thin slices of rubber tubing, fuel line, vacuum line, etc. to isolate metal to metal contact. Might even try nylon washers. Thanks for the testimonial.
Nathan, I got your information, but for some reason, after being a member of PayPal for 18 years, they just "limited" my account's activity until I "resolve" something with them. I'll let you know if that's going to become a problem for me to obtain payment through them. If so, we'll go another route.New member here, and new owner of a 68 Barracuda convertible. Just filled out your order form for a speaker bracket!!

Everything got squared away with PayPal and I shipped your package out last Friday. Please let me know when you receive it and what you think about the bracket.Not a problem. Cooincidentally they did the same to me today. I just had to load a copy of my drivers license and they 'restored' it a couple hours later.
