Kickpanel construction.

If anyone is interested in making kick panels, I have a tutorial on my site with step by step pictures. It documents the kick panel build up in my 200sx.

I just cut out 2 holes in them. I have 2 6.5" MB Quarts, 2 4" JBL Mid drivers and 2 1" tweeters.

hows it sound?

They sound real good, what i also did was i order better 4" mid drivers and gave my old ones to a friend, he we are both very happy on how they sound.

Where are the tweets located? Are those 4's in any type of enclosure, like at least a foam baffle? If you haven't already you can pick up foam pods that are made for applications usch as that that will probably make those 4's sound a bit better.

If you wanted to make the tweet slook more integrated it;s VERY easy to mold those tweeter cups into that panel. If you want more info. I can send you pictures of how I did nearly the same thing in a maxima with some Focal tweets.

My friend put them in the door next to the door lock, now remember my door has carpet on it, his 95 sentra is all plastic errr something like that.

Here is a pic. of the pod. I simply fiberglassed the provided cup to the factory panel. Normally I would use Vinyl or paint on a pod such as this, but the person I was doing the install for wanted to costs down. He chose some grey grill cloth that I think looks marginal, but he was happy with it. I would have liked to paint it with some texture spray and then color match it to the interior colors.

I was wondering if you had any trouble with the 4" speakers down there? How did you put the speakers there?

Nice Setup!

For the left panel it was a piece or cake. The right one is going to be fun. For the left panel i just cut a whole with the dremel and the right panel i did the same, but it is a little harder because of the way it is shaped. But use your imagination.
