2003 SN - Driver speaker location and install

[kwas911]

The photo is of a 2003 SN. It was pre-wired for a stereo, but in the driver area there is no where to install a speaker. You can see in the photo attached that where the speaker should be installed is a cubby hole. Is there a interior piece I can purchase and swap that would have the speaker mount instead of a cubby? If not, any ideas of where/how to install a speaker in that area without having to fabricate a box?

On the 2003 Super Airs, the drivers speaker is mounted on the kick panel. I have the same cubby hole on my boat.

Ok, thanks! Is that kickpanel strong enough to hold a 6.5" speaker and a 10" sub? I assume the kickplate can be removed to access the space behind it?

My 03 has the 6.5" in the kick panel as well. Totally useless for actually hearing anything. The previous years (00-02) has them in an area like the cubby you show. I use the cubby for wallet and cell phone.

Is that sub going to be a free air sub or a sealed sub? A free air sub would probably cause sound issues with the speaker. I'm planning on putting a 10" sealed sub under there on my 03 210. It's tight on space, but doable.

I have an 02 SN and they just threw two speakers where the drivers feet goes.
