Anyone have pics of Q forms?
I searched but didn't find any working links to pictures of installed q forms in people's cars. Also, does anyone know which speakers will fit into these?

Rep Power: 0 Pretty much all 5.25" comp sets and smaller will fit. A lot of 6.5" comp sets will work also but you might have to install them from underneath and make some wood baffles for them (which you should do anyway!). There is already a thread on here somewhere with pics. I'm selling my black ones in the For Sale forum.

Rep Power: 0 Ya i found a thread where they had a ton of pictures but none of the links worked. I remember that someone built their own too but I wanna see how much better the Q forms will look than a DIY job.

Rep Power: 0 They look great. Send me an e-mail address and I'll send you some pics. Better yet, go to SoundDomain.com and enter 2001 Honda Civic on the installs page. You will find the guy there from this forum and can see the pics.

Rep Power: 0 I don't have mine installed yet, but will hopefully be putting them in this weekend... i'm just waiting on the speakers now!! If you just want to see them not installed, let me know. Also, if you want a good place to buy them, i picked mine up on ebay for like 115 shipped!

Rep Power: 286 sorry to bring this back..but anyways...
if you have the time...could you explain how you wired those up? im assuming it'd be pretty easy to run your own wire straight from the head unit down to the kick panel...is that what you did? it looks very nice and clean
* also whered you put the passenger side crossover?
another edit..
what size components did u use?

Rep Power: 317 i tapped into the factory harness on both sides of the kicks when i wired the speakers. the factory wires go from the headunit to a harness, which then goes into the front door panels, so all i did was tap into the speaker wire before it went into the doors. i forget what the colors are, sorry.
the passenger crossover is tucked away behind the q-form, my crossovers are huge but they still fit, its easier than trying to get them under the dash because there isn't much room under the dash on the passenger side.
my components are 6.5", but the q-forms are mainly made to accomodate 5 1/4" speakers. my components are mounted from the bottom because they are too big to be top mounted.
hope that helped, you can PM me if you need more info.

Rep Power: 0 If you can't fit your Xovers behind the Q form (My MB Quarts wouldn't fit) you can remove the glove box and secure the Xover to what would be "the roof" (for lack of betters words) in the glove compartment area. Its out of the way, secure and easily accessible (im an engineer, not a great speller, lol)
I don't like the Q forms when I have someone on the pasenger seat. The sound stage totally changes depending on the position of their legs. I used to have my tweeters mounted to the pillars, which was nice for sound, but doesn't look nearly as nice as in the Q forms.
The grills are also VERY flimsey and the fockers at the car wash always seem to knock 1 off when cleaning my car, grrrrr.
Goodluck with yours!

Rep Power: 317 i agree with tbone323 on the grills, very flimsey and they fall off easily.
i have to somewhat agree with you on the sound stage when a passenger is in the car. i found that if the volume is low, and the passenger has his/her legs in the way of the speakers, i can't hear them, but turning up the volume cures that (for me it seems atleast).
