73-87(91) Beta Series - 6.5" Kick Panel Speaker Pods

The Ultimate Audio Solution for Lower-Trim Trucks

If your Squarebody came from the factory without the full-length plastic kick panels, the SQR Audio Beta Series is designed for you. These pods pick up where the factory left off, providing a precision-molded fit for "bare metal" style kick panels. Enjoy modern, high-quality 6.5" sound while maintaining the authentic, rugged look of your classic Chevy or GMC truck.

Why Choose Beta Pods?

• Engineered for Bare Metal Kicks: Specifically contoured to fit vehicles without the full-length factory plastic trim.

• USA-Made Quality: Precision-designed and manufactured in the USA for the Squarebody community.

• Enhanced Acoustics: Includes a bag of acoustic polyfill to improve midbass response and eliminate internal reflections.

• Safety-First Design: Angled for optimal sound imaging without interfering with your gas, brake, or clutch pedals.

• Customizable Finish: The pods come in a clean, textured finish that can be dyed to match your truck's specific interior color.

Important Note on Installation & Parking Brake

• Drilling Required: Unlike the Alpha series, these pods require drilling three small 1/8” holes into the factory metal kick panel for a secure, permanent mount.

• Parking Brake Clearance: This installation may interfere with the factory emergency brake pedal travel. It is the installer's sole responsibility to verify full pedal clearance before driving.

• User Liability: By installing this product, the user assumes all liability for operating a vehicle with a modified or potentially disabled parking brake system.
