Hey how do you like your Z6's!? I've had mine for a little while and I can't seem to get the SQ I really wanted out of them. I might be doin' somethi'n wrong but I don't think so!

I was going to put them in kick panels too....how did you like them down there did they get more response in the sealed kick panel?

Well they have been very good to me. I always read reviews about their midbass just being "average" for such a high end speaker. I really liked the response from them in the kick panels, but they have showed some balls in the midbass range so far in the doors. Kick panels generally sound better in the midbass region, but my tweeters seemed to get a little drowned out by road noise down there. Moving them up to the doors makes them sound so loud and so clean.
The only problem I have with the Z6's is that the tweeter gets a little "tingy" when you crank them. A certain note on a guitar riff on certain songs make the tweeter sound a tiny bit scratchy, but it's barely noticable.

Almost inspired me to go out and finish my doors.

Almost.

Well, you see the pic, don't you? That's like going up to lemans and asking him if he's black.

Dont you love the rather astute observations our forum members come up with?

Doors look good, Allstar........the more I look at them, the more I want to go finish mine.

Go to hell, today was supposed to be a lazy day.

If you finish sealing your door holes it should have more midbass than your kick panels...

not bad. why the change from the kicks? also how's the difference between the two?

I have a sport trac and the doors look almost identical. I did my doors a while back. If you seal the large holes and put egg crate behind the speakers to break up any reflections you will most definitely get more mid-bass.

not really, those kickpanels were a small sealed enclosure. He probably had a very peaky responce, especially in the midbass region, and maybe an octave or 2 up. He'll get better low end out of the doors. However subbass from your mids is NOT midbass!
