The newbie guide to custom kick panels

[Gauntlet]

im getting ready to do some kicks for my car but i cant screw the driver side down. the fuse panel is right in the way. i was gonna build the kick over it anyway and just make it removable. how would i solidly mount it(idrive to fast for it to not be solid) but still have it removable?

Put some painters tape down on the mounting surface, then adhere the kick onto the tape (spray adhesive, gorilla glue, epoxy, etc.) Should stay on pretty tight, and will be removable.

great job, can you help me design a sub box to fit in place of the upper part of the back seat of a 99 F-150 XTD CAB, I AM GOING TO PUT 2 JL AUDIO 12W6V2 SUBS IN THIS BOX

No, I cant.

[vosschs]

can you use any type of fleece or mat or whatever or does it have to be the fiberglass mat

[vosschs]

anyone?

[Nitropyro666]

not 100% sure what you mean but to make a shape use fleece or ne material then as your strenght you use fiberglass mat/cloth with resin. hope that helps

i was wondering if i could use any type of material, could i jsut take a old t-shirt and use that as the part to stretch over the pod ,?

[Acidburn]

yes, you can use a shirt but a fleece type material will be much stronger

[jellyfish420]

the thinner the material, the less resin it will hold, and will not be as strong. i used a shirt, but it was a fleece-y type shirt.

You can use a shirt, you'll just have to use a few more layers of mat/cloth over the top of it to give it some stability.

i have never had any experience (or even a chance to hear speakers in kickpanels) so i have a few questions.

Wouldn't your legs seem to "block" the sound from the speaker in the left kick panel. It just seems like your leg would be in the way.

Considering that a kickpael is an enclosure, would it give you better midbass response, like around 80 hz or so?

Would the left kick panel have to be pointed up more toward the drivers seat than the righ one?

Can the difference in air volume of the 2 kicks give a different sound from the speakers?

thanks for any help...
