new system plans, seek wisdom
Just discovered this forum, so far I like it a lot! I'm planning on getting an 02/03 Maxima this spring, naturally I'm planning a system for it already I currently have a 626 with focal 165KP's up front, with mids in doors and tweets in sail panels. 150wrms x 2. The mid bass is pretty good, but I hate the imaging when the tweets are so far from the mids, plus the mids (especially driver's side) are way too off-axis. I've been thinking about going kick panels, with a nice 5 1/4 component set either from focal or possibly canton, with elemental designs 6.5 inch mid-subs in the doors (they're IB capable). I've just never had a chance to listen to a kick panel setup and am curious how low the soundstage would be with them, not to mention how the speakers hold up being down by errant feet all the time. Has anybody lived with kicks in a daily driver in winter? Or is this a terrible idea? The more I get into SQ the more I realize it is truly an incureable disease...

I haven't even bought the damn car yet and already I'm putting way too much thought into this...

It's never a bad idea to mix tweeters and mids from different companies, unless you're using a complex passive crossover that is tailored to specific drivers and their response.
Running active gives you the perfect oportunity to run whatever drives you want.
