2nd Gen F-Body stereo install pics

Here's how you can baffle the kick panel speaker from behind and protect it from moisture very easily.

Puchase a Metra 6 x 9 baffle kit model # 81-6900 (I got mine off eBay)





Empty Pocket area that speaker magnet and basket will reside in, it drains from the cowl area.



Baffle in place...snug fit.

Great looking pods. Does anybody know how much of the matt style sound deadener is needed for a second gen?

Are you wanting to know how much to cover the whole car or just the kick panel/speaker area? I'm doing my entire 72 right now and just ordered my third box of Dynamat Xtreme (36 sq ft/box).

I am going to do the floor boards and the doors along with the front part of the rear seat area and package shelf. I wasn't going to do the trunk area. I haven't figured out what I would cover the rear trunk floor with if I did the trunk too.

Sorry for the hijack OP...

You'd be fine with 2 boxes then. I'm doing trunk, entire floor pan, package tray, roof, everything I can get it to stick to! Hint, check Amazon. $140 with free shipping/box.

Are the Metra baffles ...soft or rigid ?
I plan on installing Polk MM series 6 1/2 in these .....Love Polks for the money tough to beat :-)
I will post pic after I install too.

They are kind of a soft flexible plastic a little thicker than a bleach bottle, but same slick "feel", you can add some sound deadening on the inside.

Yes please post pics after you get them in

Perfect ....I get home in about 10 days but wont start install till late spring.....I so excited these panel pix look awesome !!

Nice, are those 17" wheels? They look real similar to mine (mine are eBay knock offs though lol). I like those year model TA's.

That's it, I bought mine in 2005 and had them on my corvette, I bought my camaro and it had the correct "factory" 82 corvette wheels on it...so I swapped them. The BS was more correct for my camaro anyways..so it worked out.

Work in progress though

got the passenger side trimmed up on my personal set and covered in black vinyl (interior is black, and vinyl matches my door panel vinyl)

Love the clean way they're integrated

[79TA97TT]

year one also has some cool add on's for the doors so you don't have to cut into the sheet metal, also a nice GPS cover

I wouldn't change a thing about this car! Perfect in every way!!

I just put in a (what I think is great) system in my '78 TA. In dash head/receiver/amp unit is Sony MEX XB100 BT, 4 X 100 watts, CD, blue tooth, plays mp3 songs right from a flash drive. rear deck speakers are 6 X 9 inch Infinity Kappa 693.11i There is no place in my doors to install speakers so I cut holes in each side near the front of the center console and installed 4 inch Kenwood KFC 1095 PS . Wire is huge Monster Cable. Great big sound. Problems: my center map pocket won't fit anymore - it hits the big magnets on the back of the Kenwoods. Also, I need to install some Crutchfield foam speaker box/baffles around the Kenwoods to give them something to "work against". Also, I ordered a new blank map pocket face plate from Firebird Central
