[QUOTE="spyd3r, post: 268546, member: 547535"] Kickpanels are nice....but I have gotten better imagining using the a-pilars [B]in my car[/B]. There are a few tricks to get optimal imaging with tweets furhter away from your mids. If your using the crossover your comps came with......you might want to lower them about 2db's. (when mounting them close to your head...sometimes) If your using a bi-amplified setup...I don't think you need any advice from me [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] . Another thing to keep in mind with mounting the tweets in the a-pilar is to have them angled correctly. Realize that sound waves bounce off surfaces...especially your windshield. If you angel your tweeters to face each other...then slightly angel them towards the front windshield .. (2-3 degrees) you will get a little umff in the highs thx to sound reflection And when your looking for spot for the tweets don't pick any stupid spots....like the pilar behind the front seats. You want to keep the mid and the tweeters as close to the same Y-axis as possible. BTW.... If your fairly good in glassing try and make a pair of kickpanels and see what you like better. Having a wider soundstage isn't a bad thing either,,, Its all about compramising your sound quality in a car......not the most friendly enviorment for SQ [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
