Aftermarket Kick Panel Speakers, but the vent cables?

I am getting ready to do an audio upgrade on my 1969 non-AC 442 convertible. The aftermarket speaker kick panels don't have the cold air cables holes or even a boss to drill for them. The new panels are just smooth where the ***** would normally be located. I am very curious what others have done?

It appears that you have an older version of the non-AC kick panel speakers.

Q: Can you still use the fresh air vents with this kick panel? I don't see a **** cut out.

A: These kick panels have been updated since the picture that is shown. They now have a **** built into the kick panel so that you can open and close the fresh air vent

Let us know what they say. I'm sure there are lots of other folks out there who would be interested in the latest info on them.

Classic Car Stereo confirmed that their non-AC speaker kick panels do not have the vent cable exit area after referencing pictures of my OE panels. I'm still trying to figure my best option.
