[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1345627, member: 555320"] That's only assuming you aren't intelligent enough to build a kickpanel of proper size. IB or AP kicks aren't difficult to design and build, if necessary. Only if you are utilizing time alignment. And if you are going that route, you are only going to have good imaging from one seat, not both. And if you build your kickpanels [I]properly[/I], then they will likewise be of appropriate volume.....erasing the "better performance" of the door location. Imaging is largely a function of pathlengths and pathlength differences (along with speaker aiming and intensity differences, etc), and the best way to minimize those is through the use of kickpanels. Not only will this diminish the need for time alignment, but it will allow you to obtain good imaging from both seats. Kickpanels also offer you the benefit of being able to better aim the drivers as necessary aswell as decreasing the chance of panel resonances (such as your door panel), which will also hinder imaging. 3-way kicks are the way to go [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif[/IMG] My opinion.....go with kicks if possible. Better all around. [/QUOTE]
