[QUOTE="req, post: 516381, member: 555713"] if you are that interesed and want to run 6.5s, im doing a custom job right now. it will porlly cost you ~$40 to make custom kick panels- if you do the work yourself... and maybe 4~5 hours of work at that. i spent an hour yesterday working on my kick panels, and they are 3\4ths done already. 1. glass the mould in the car (cover with tape, lay first and second layer of fiberglass- wait dry, lay the rest. (done) 2. make baffle and mount it with glue with correct imaging direction 3. stretch fleece over baffle and paint with resin, then carpet with correct color done. its really that simple. fiberglass is just like working with paper mache. i layed about 4~5 layers on my kick panels in 30 minutes. really the only part that is somewhat tough is making the baffle to be flush with the speaker, and that isnt too hard as it is- i can use my grandfathers router table. fleecing is quite simple too. and i dont have to sand because carpet is going on. so do it yourself, use the 6.5s, and keep your 5.25s in there as well, or get new ones and amp them too. get 2 12's behind your seats, and bathe in bliss =) refer to the "newbie guide to fiberglassing" and you cant go wrong.
