Good Kick Panel Enclosures
Thursday, December 22, 2005 12:33 AM
Where can i buy a nice set of kick panel enclosures. I dont like the way the 4x6's sound and i would like to get components so i figure kick panel is the way to go. I already have an amp ready for them so no need to let me know about the night and day difference between no amp and amp.

Q logic makes kick panels for our cars. I know u can find them for sale on sounddomain. A lot of people have better luck making their own though. If you feel like pursuing that route I hear that people get better sound quality with the home made panels.

just glass the back of the q-logic, they sound great once you glass them.

yep, i've got a set and they sound just fine. They don't sound much different then the custom ones i built.

You won't get as good midbass response as you would a solid door installation though, so keep that in mind. a 3 way component set would work well with putting the mid and tweet in the kick and the smaller midbass in the door

tweet + midrange in the kicks, and a midbass, like a JL 6w0 or Elemetal Designs EU-700, in the doors. I would also recommend using ample amounts of sound deadning material in the doors and behind the kicks.

10's in the doors?

if anything just use an 8"...but you'll probably still have to make buildouts on your door panel so they clear the windows. I had clearence isssues with my 6.5", lol
