Default fiberglass kick panels

thinking of trying my hand at fiberglass kick panels. i've been doing alot of reading and watching a lot of vids and dvd's of the process but trying to get some ideas.
i've done quite a bit of searching on here and do not seem to come up with many results of people with them in their tc's......

how many people actually have coax or component speakers/tweeters in fiberglass kick panels? and did you have them angled upwards, angled in, molded to where the speaker is more angled up at you rather than angled to the right/left (driver/passenger side).

thanks

I was planning on doing this as well, but when I removed the kick panels and saw what was behind them I was like damn. The speakers will be sticking out too much even when you angle them up towards you, which is how you should do them if you plan to do this.The driver's side dead pedal will most likely have to be removed. The same goes for the passenger side.Then you have worry about either you or your passenger not hitting in to them when exiting the car. So instead I opted to do the fg work on my door panels and not the kicks. I have on my doors components and coaxil's.
