Kick panel speakers

Kick panel speakers
I have a 68 convertible with the vented kick panels. The vent in the panel has a lever that opens to allow air in. It’s not ducted. There is just air flowing into that space. I want to upgrade my stereo system and install kick plate speakers. Will the air flowing into that area impact the speakers?
thanks

I just finished my 67, I couldn't find a way to install speakers in the stock kick panels although I wanted to. There just isn't space , with the door hinges and body bracing .I finally broke down and bought replacement panels that allow for speakers, however I had to sacrifice the air vent. Doesn't your car have Astro ventilation ? What I did have to do was cut off the pedal for the emergency brake and weld it out wider to clear the speaker.

I originally wanted to keep the vents working. but decided to block off the holes and use kick panels with the speakers built in.. I think that you would have a clearance problem with the speakers at that spot too. With the kick panels with the speakers built in, I still had a clearance problem, I ended up cutting the pedal off the emergency brake and re-welded it closer in for speaker clearance
