Hey guys,

I am doing a new build for a new car. I picked up a set of Mpyre 65M and would like to have kick panels for them.

Anyone or any shops in kitchener waterloo area capable of making kick panels?

I also need some help with tuning.

Thanks,

Neil

 

Send me a pm,

I can try to fit a set of kicks into the schedule.

just curious whats great about kick panels? i see it a precious leg room lost
is there any advantage over door panel mounted speakers?

 

It's all about PLDs (Path Length Differences). Kick panels are generaly your best bet to getting each speaker at a similar distance from your ears as they are one of the furthest points you can install speakers into in a car.

As for legroom, well, it's not that bed. I'm 6'4" with size 13 feet driving a standard transmission with 4" mids in the kick panels sticking out and I don't find them bothersome.

 

But for practicality in a daily driver they suck ****.

 

Not if done right MUhahahahaaaaaaaaa

 

for some cars kicks aren't even an option. I am slowly installing kicks in my SVT and they really reinforce the midbass, allow for a larger midbass driver, keep reasonable PLD, and dont really adversely affect shifting on my 6 speed manual. Though if the car had the ford parking brake in the kick panel region it would prevent the use of kick panel speakers. I am always wondering where the kick is in relation to my left foot.

 

ah the reason I want kicks is my door panel only allows 4" speakers and I don't want to ruin the asthetics.

I also plan on having a 3 way system, 4" midrange, 6.5" midbass and tweets

Kickpanels will also allow for a sealed enclsoure... the doors will never seal properly


when i install the midranges in the door i will have a bafel to make a sealed enclosure as well.

 

hmmmm makes perfect sense...thanks
