You'll almost always get a better quality finished product when the kicks are custom built. I find q-logic kicks to be pretty cheaply built. You'll probably have to re-inforce them quite a bit to get a good end product.

Just one look at those Q-forms makes me [img]graemlins/puke.gif[/img]

x 2 ... I know of a few more that have won with q-logics

Truth be told, I would have bought Q-forms in an instant if they didnt cost so damned much

If they were reasonably less than a set of custom ones, I would have definitely got them, but the price came out to be almost more for the premade ones, in the end...

these so called custom kicks for 200 bucks....

Ive seen those before...

If an installer can make molded custom kicks to match for 200 bucks, then that makes me think 2 things..

1) crap quality custom work.
2) Good quality but the installer has no clue how to quote a job

I would still prefer to see the custom work done, because done properly custom will be better. but q-forms are a good value

I still dont understand how placing a speaker 10 cm forward in the kick panel can make so much difference in sound ???

In My CRX , the door speaker is virtually 10 cm from the kickpanel.....

I dunno..........
