A while ago I posted some pics of my door panel build up, and it sounded OK. But last
week my friend who owns a camry made kick panels for his car. And I was really pissed
when I found out that his (well actually my Alpine Type-S speakers that I let him borrow)
sound way better then my $500 MbQuart Premiums frown.gif. So for the last 4 days I was making
kick panels. Yesterday I finished the driver side and it sounds just amazing! Today I am gonna finish
up the passager and maybe have enought time to carpet the damn things.
PS: Some people this that its easy and cheap to build kick panels, well they are wrong,
it took me about 50 hours and I am still not done. And I already spent $100 on the
fiberglass, resin and gloves alone. But hey, it sounds way better then it did before wink.gif...

Thanks!!!

I'll see how these things will do at NY SQ/SPL championship on sunday! The dude who tuned it told me that I have a good chance because i am going to be in novice class (because its my first year compeating). He said that there prolly wont be any one with kick's in my class exept me wink.gif which makes me stand out because of way better mids and sound stage/hight. Soon I am planning on getting me Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.2 retail at about $500. Two of my friends just got those and these sound processors are just amazing. Them things have 260band EQ, crazy time alighment and x-overs that can be set at any FQ possibe wink.gif. Plus it will move all the mids to the front stage and use the sub only for sub frequencys. Cant wait until I get my hands on one of them. I'll post some pics of the show and tell how I did next week wink.gif.
PS: Kick's are not as bad as people think, sure there wont be as much room for legs but since I never use the foot rest it didn't do any bad to me. But kick's are only for Auto cars wink.gif. If any one has questions on how to build a kick or about different designs please PM me and I'll gladly reply.

Lil Note: If u are planing on building kicks or already have them, make a port kind of hole in it and it will sound way better. For some reason a lot of people make their kick's sealed. Mid-range speakers need to be vented, just thing of what they were designed for. A big ass door with a lot of air and holes in it.
