Nothing noticable. They really fire at each other. The angle of the pillar doesn't have them firing on the glass. They're still 10 db down and it was just enough to lift the front stage up. The sealed kicks provide some great midbass. I wish I had some audiophile 7thgeners here in AZ to share an opinion. Everyone says it sounds great but not everyone has sat in cars with over 30K in equipment and installs....

i'm thinking about getting kick panels installed...

my bro bought a q-form kick panel for his 04 civic Si and he's not using it. Will that fit in my 02 civic coupe?

where'd you learn to do the tweets in A-pillars? DIY tutorial please?

I doubt Si Qforms will fit in a non-Si car.

As far as the A-Pillars, there wasn't a place I learned to do it. Part of the fun in playing with cars and/or car audio, is experimenting with stuff. Look at a lot of factory cars that have them high up on the dash reflecting off the glass. I just knew a little about the characteristics of the equipment I was putting in them prior. I wanted them to be ear level, but if you pop off your a-pillars, there is a perfect place to put them. Get a hole saw, cut your hole. I used a glue gun to hold it in place. The tweet mounts from behind so there is nothing sticking out. Thus, when I wrapped it with grill cloth, it had a very smooth appearance..
