Hey guys, are these kick panel speakers the same for any of the 69 GM model cars or were there different grills for different models?

Pretty sure they are all the same.

I picked these up thinking I would use them in my Camaro. Somebody cut little 3" holes in my otherwise good kick panels, so I may as well add the kick panel speakers. Anyone have the cutout measurements for the kick panels and have any idea what the hardware looks like? Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

I have templates for a 68...not sure how close a 69 is? The grills do vary some. THe sizes are the same it's just the radius on the back side that is different. I think full size cars are cut flatter... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif Been awhile since I have had several side by side.

BIG, can you post the dimensions? Maybe someone here will notice and confirm if the 68 dimensions are the same for 69. I'm thinking yes, but you never know about these things. The grills I have look very much like all the ones I have seen in pics but these have a curve cutout at top and bottom and the sides measure out to 5/8&quot;.

The cutouts measure 4-1/8&quot; x 4-7/8&quot; , mitered corners are 7/8&quot; x 1-1/2&quot;. The hole spacing matches your grills @ 3-3/4&quot; x 3-3/4&quot;. The only noticable difference in the templates is a 7/8 difference in height from the bottom up. Both measure 1&quot; from the A/C line or 3-3/4&quot; from the vent grill.

Hard to imagine a Chevy II with stereo speakers!
