[QUOTE="OldFartAudio, post: 8712991, member: 680592"] You get way better imaging from kick panels because they have less difference in time alignment and they can be angled for the best performance. Notice mine were not symmetrical. As far as people kicking them it happens. If I had covered them in carpet instead of vinyl it wouldn’t have been a big deal. The worst thing I experienced was I would open it up at shows and leave it to walk around and look at other cars. Mostly this was fine because people would just look, but once I came back and some kid was sitting in the passenger seat with one foot on the ground and his other foot on my kick. I wasn’t happy but I stayed cool and it didn’t hurt anything fortunately. I would take the grill off on the driver’s side and leave the door shut. I would leave the grill on and door open on the passenger side. That way people could look and see everything but the open side was still protected. Eventually I did get a black smudge on the passenger side grill. Either use a darker color than the grey I used or Scotch-Guard, or both. I would also make sure to tell my passengers to watch where they put their feet. [/QUOTE]
