I was planning on making some kicks for some 8s. The passenger side is perfect, with some big holes to vent outside. But unfortunately on teh drivers side those same holes hold two fuse boxes? has any one ever relocate those?? would anyone recommend doing it?

thank you

 

if you are good wiring wiring, and dont mind taking LOT of time and extending all the wring, you can certainly fit 8s in the kicks and get enough air space, wha ti suggest also is taking a plasma cutting and cut out the front part of the metal to get to the big cavity behind there

doable,yes, but qiute a bit time consuming

I think you'd be better off putting the 8's in the doors in pods and put the tweets (and mid's if you are using them) in the kicks.

 

I honestly do not want to make door pods for my door, sooo hard to make look good due to the shape of the door... The kick panels seem like a perfect place due to so much space. The plan is to put JL 8ib4 in the kicks, scan speak 12m in the doors, and rainbow cal27 in the pillars.

 

i got nazars pods on my Z they look hot

 

i do have to agree that the midbass in doors is probably a better choise...for an 8"...

as for the 8ib4, thats a rather deep speaker, are you going to do AP venting as well?

here is the 8" pod i made once

GREAT work on the door pods! But i realllly have my mind set on having the kicks vent onto the well, if it is possible. Any advice or suggestions how i can get this done?

thank you

 

that 8" is so gangsta

for the conservative folks

that 8 " is quite nice

i enjoy both

pods and kicks

nothiing like 4 midranges and 4 tweeters for your front stage

also i might install 2 more tweeters in my a pillars on each side for a total of

2 x 6.5 " in pods
2 x 5.25 " in kicks
2 x 1" in door panels
2 x 1" in kicks
4x 1" in a pillars


for a 12 speaker front stage

 

what kind of speakers, amps and processing are u planning on using?

CDT Gold 6.5" & 1" # ES-062I ( EX-560I Transient Optimized” Elliptic 4th order 2 way crossovers) in pods
CDT Gold 5.25 " & 1" # ES -052I ( EX-560I Transient Optimized” Elliptic 4th order 2 way crossovers) in kicks
i use 1 of 3 enclosures

everything is installed

the only thing that is not in is my kicks which Bing should be shipping 2 nd day air to me tommorow

 

and the other thing is my 4 tweeters in my a pillars i am getting the 3/4" CDT # tw19 and they will be mounted 2 each on each a pillar reflecting off windsheild

they run off my existing cdt crossovers as image enhancement tweeters -3 db less than the main tweets which are DRT-26 cdt extended range modular silk


all my tweets are silk i hate metal tweeters

 

That will definately be LOUD, but ur soundstage will be off and might be peaky with all the reflections.

 

not sounding to bad

 

u got any pics of ur install?

 

he wont have it yet, cause i am in the middle of molding his kicks lol...

oh by the way, i got your PM, i will get it back to you by this weekend

b

 

have u gotten a chance to see what i am talking about though? do u think its doable?

 

its possible, like i said, but you need:

1. a lot of time and good wiring skills to extend and move aside all existing wiring

2. a plasma cutter to cut out the inner layer of metal

3. fiberglassing skills to create your cavity and kick panel

4. AP vent tuning skills to vent to the wheel well area

 

#3 and #4 im ok, but a lil too scared for #1 and #2. guess ill take it to a mechanic shop and see if they can move it for me.

thanks for the advices

 

if i can see by this Friday than your just too professional

best regards
