I have not had the panels off my car yet and after looking at them real good I have some qeustions for those of you that have. Is the speaker really where the cutout is in the panel? If so doesnt the panel itself cover about 1/3 of the speaker? Does someone have pictures of the doors with the panels removed? Could you post them? Unless I'm mistaken I dont see how any speaker could sound its best with that much of it covered up! What about the position of the speaker in the door? I cant believe it, while driving around I have to put my leg in a very uncomfortable posistion not to be blocking the speaker and muffling the sound. I know some of you guy's have had these panels off more times than I've took my pants off, so come on! share the info. PLEASE!

The 2000 front door panels do, indeed, suck. And yes, they do cover about 1/3 of a 6x8.
