Default pics of my kicks purely for giggles

my car has no lower door location, the stock location is high int he door and can only fit a sinky shallow 5.25" so i have been running kicks ever sincei got the car, went through many set ups, and about three months ago, i picked up my dream set of speakrse, AVI BSM 3 way comp set wtih an add on midbass, about 2-3k worth of retail speakrse.

anyway, a conversation ensued with a freind installer:

him: thast a lot of speakrse, hwere you gonna put them?
me: not sure, no idea
him: your the kick man, put it all in kicks hahaha
me: i am thinking about it
him: its impossible with out making it impossible to use the brake
me: wanna bet?
him: yup!
me: you are on


so two days later, i did it just a simple straight forward job...lol...now i know this is not practical and is not even ne neede on a Z, but i figure i would share. i have been driving around with kicks for hte last 10 years so i am used ot this and honestly, this doesnt intrude into my space that much.

so no, i am not suggesting a huge kick for anyone, and no, i dont crush them with my feet haha...

but htey do sound good -3 db downpoint is around 30hz lol and them alone can rattle my rear view mirrors, and i can turn it all the way up with out sounding harsh ...

monster kicks:

That looks KILLER! imo.
Which my old 850 had those, and ran high 13's like yours... my fastest run was a 15.1

Edit: That is a 850 right?
