If I remember the pics, what's impressive is the size of them. You posted them somewhere else in here before, right?

yeah, over .3 cubes each, using a home audio 3" mounting plate tweeter and a midrange over 3 inches deep, my clutch nearly rubbed the carpet off on the drivers side, and the tweeters stuck out so far that rain got on them just from the act of opening the door to get into the car and put me out 60 bucks per side. >.<

and I played with putting a 10 in the passenger side footwell for awhile. another failure, but damn did rage agasint the machine sound really cool....

What do you have there now, you rebuild the kicks?

yeah, I never talk about them, they are completely impractical for th average civic enthusiast. the midwoofers are in a fireman-said-this-was-a-bad-idea box carved out of the kick panels to sink the speakers inside the kick area. without tweeters, takes up about one inch of space more than stock, and volume is a non issue, they hook into the main frame rails that support the door sills so air goes all the way back.

but it would be rediculous to suggest other enthusiasts should be cutting up their kick areas for many obvious reasons!

I modeled the new kicks from this page:

pages 7 and 8

I always loved that install. And I know it's sponsorship, but I hated the addition of the PG to the kicks, and I did not like the deadpedal added later.

definitely. poor attention to detail, combining the aluminum plate in a car with no other silver.

same with the luminescent logo.
