Kick panel speaker pod warning.
« on: May 16, 2017, 08:04:06 PM »
Just a heads up to everyone but the speaker pods that are sold on the site WILL NOT work with aftermarket kick panels, only the original OEM ones.

That is 100% correct.  Who's aftermarket kick panels did you use?  Who is the manufacturer?

Not sure who makes them but I bought them from Brothers.

I have a set of the ones sold here, I also have two other sets from different brands. These are the only ones that I've seen that work with the factory kick panels. The other ones I have are full replacement ones not intended to work with the factory kick panel. How does the aftermarket panel you have vary from the factory one? Is it that far off?

The ridges (walls) around the bottom portion are thicker then the originals.
