[QUOTE="2theMaxx21, post: 115410, member: 546337"] Yeah, that's partly true, but a lot of vehicles including SUVs just don't have the right lay out for kick panels. There is usually a big dash or a center console that interfers with the sound. Kick panels can sound really great, but you have to spend some serious time getting the angles and the placement just right. And even then, most guys add some sort of EQ to make some more fine adjustments, like with all of the Audio Control stuff. I have custom made fiberglass kickpanels in my 2002 VW Jetta 1.8t, along with about $9000 worth of stereo/multimedia equipment, and it sounds just about as good as my work car does, which has time alignment, and a lot less $ invested. But kickpanels along with time alignment would be the ultimate. The only bad thing about kick panels is that the sound totally changes whenever a passenger sits in the car and their feet block the speakers. With the time alignment, you could press a few buttons and compensate for the blockage of the passenger. If you've got the time, go for the kicks, and add the time alignment if you can. [/QUOTE]
