nice, but dont you rub your foot on the speakers down there?

 

nope..haven't yet

 

wanna borrow my vac

 

Those are nice. Did you do them yourself? If not, where can other people get their hands on them. lol ^ ^

 

Looks great It seems you have them in what I would think is a very good alignment for imaging. That said you probably have done this but if not you may want to try some different angles for the tweeters. Generally when coaxial mounted and the mids are aligned well, the tweeters should aim to the same place.

The reasons get fairly technical to explain so I will just leave it at trying some different angles if you have not done so

actually the tweeters in these move so i can move them in any direction i want and with the angle of the actual speaker the sound is awesome and the factory speakers are still in using the radio for power and those kicks are being powered by one of the amps

 

a friend of mine did them but the idea and design were mine...there is a lot more work into it than it looks though...and than i thought there would be..if anyone wants a pair lemme know and i'll see what i can do

 

I knew they swiveled, why I asked about trying different angles

Most things done well take far more effort that it appears, those are really nicely done so I am sure alot of effort went into them!

Good thing you don't have a clutch like most of us

 

clean ride.

 

I had those, I'd probably use them as boot scrapers

 

Not a problem with a clutch if done properly. I usually rework the metal in the area to help have them sit back further for greater image depth and it makes them slightly wider apart for a wider stage width.

Ok I'm wondering why you put kick pods in a car with spreakers already in the door? Don't get me wrong the work looks good, just don't understand it.

 

I like those, how much would it cost for a pair?

 

Kick panel location, when done well, will give the very best results in imaging, you have to hear it to fully understand the effects, can be quite startling the first time

I prefer a three way system up front with midbasses in the doors and mids and tweeters in the kick panels.


The second best overall setup is midbasses in the doors with the tweeters crossfiring in the A pillars, directly at each other, a couple of inches or so above the highest point of the dash. There are a few slight variations and they usually need to be wired out of phase(reversing the plus and negative wires).

Then we have dash mids and tweets, sometimes three ways, sometimes subs in the dash, horns under the dash or built into it, on and on, all of which have been used to win world championships.

couldn't have said it better myself! thanx

 

I really meant to say there are many ways to skin the audio cat and the two general best ways are kick panels with any of the others close behind and when done right can be the best. It depends on the design of the vehicle and experience and dedication of the installer.

The easiest way to get a great sound stage is door midbasses and pillar tweeters.

It just so happens that our cars have such a wide diversity of what can work, virtually any configuration, this is exceptionally rare

BUT, it has to be done right to get the results desired;)

Kicks, i thought you mean new wheels. Didnt know it was that "kicks". Sorry, I'm just too obessed about sneakers!

 

moved...
