[QUOTE="Why So Cereal?, post: 7584364, member: 626047"] I agree with Trumpet. Its become a pretty common misconception that if you put your mid and tweeter in your kicks that you will automatically just get great imaging and staging. If that were the case, everyone would just go grab some prefab kicks and go compete SQ. When it comes to running comps in kick panels, aiming is critical. There's so much stuff down low to block/ reflect sound that you have to compensate for. Then even after compensating for parts of the car, there's still, in some cases, your own leg to consider that could be causing issues. Kick panels can be great but they require work and, from what I hear, alot of trial and error. If youre not really up to perfecting kicks, you can just perfect a door install for your mids and then find a higher spot for your tweeters (but you will still need to play with aiming and placement here too). What kind of HU do you run? Some time alignment could help as well if you decide to go with doors and even in kicks at times. [/QUOTE]
