Fixed the Horrible Kick Panel Buzz

[KABQ]

So after installing Kicker KS Series speakers in all 6 positions, I found that the cheap factory kick panels speaker covers had an INCREDIBLY annoying buzz at certain frequencies. I believe a large part of this is due to the fact that the tweeters contact the cover since the KSs are about 3/16" too deep (worse on the passenger side).

After multiple unsuccessful attempts to stop it with stick-on foam on the cover itself, I went all out today. Velcro and masking tape took care of it.

I should add that after I took that picture I also added Velcro between the kick panel and dead pedal. No more buzz!

Nice work. Don’t be concerned about using Velcro. My ‘23 was built using Elmers glue, masking tape and twist ties

You got Elmer's? They didn't even bother sticking parts of mine together. They must have improved for 23.

It felt kind of cobbled together to do it this way, and I know the masking tape won't last too long, but works well for now until I find a better solution.
