if it's a 5 speed you can only fit 4.5" mids in kicks.. (like mine [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]).. We tried to get 6.5's in there but it just ain't happening...go with Kicks..go with the Kicks....I got my made for $300US and I spent about 15 hours in the car setting up my staging with a wee bit of help from the installer...

6.5's in the doors 4.5's in the kicks [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..6.5's don't have as smooth and detailed a midrange because the cone is heavier and transient response suffers a little. 5.25's might fit if you have a really vreative installer, but I don;t think you'd get too good of a sound stage that way.

6.'s won't fit I tellya.. not unless you relocat your clutch... my 4.5's in very compacted kicks fit with a wee bit of room to spare 6.5's won't happen safely..Get 3-ways [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..your ears will thank u later

mohawk - what other 3 ways are there for sq but a more reasonable price. im going for local sq comps (amature)

 
Rep Power: 0

Focal PolyGlass $349

JL XR 3-ways $389

Those are the 2 Really good one's at a very reasonable price for 3-ways

little more pricey

CDT Classic 3-ways $399


Of these..I'd reccomend the Focals most..Best midbass of the 3, best tweeter,, midrange detail is excellent, but not as detailed as the CDT's,
the JL's of the 3 don't stand out over the Focals or CDT's in any way...

Get an installer who is an artist at what he does and anything is possible. I will be using 8" subs in my kickpanels, 4" & tweet in each a-pillar....plenty of leg room....four 12" subs & four amps where the back seat used to be and a fully functional trunk with full size spare. I'm just trying to point out that almost anything is possible, nothing is exact as far as what will fit and what will not. Think crazy and go for it.

SQ.. the only way that's possible is if he cuts through the fenderwells and welds on or makes fiberglass housings otherwise.. hello road [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. it's possible to fit shallow mount 6.5's yes.. but the ang;e they would be at wouldn't image well at all. so it's not worth doing..

All I can say man is wait for the pics.

By the way, my installer has 10" subs in his kickpanels. His shop partner has 12" subs in his doors. Talk about upfront bass!

SQ.. I Used to have 10's in my doors and an 8 in the dash..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. but I couldn't roll down my windows..lol. I had 10" BA Pro 10.5lf's and an 8.5LF, PA BRO 5.25" COmponents, and all PPI amps. my ex g/f's dad was a BA and PPI Dealer and he loved me so did the install free and sold me everything at distributor cost..but that car can ran over by a dumptruck lol

A dumptruck? lol There has got to be a great story with that!

The dude with 12's in his door can only roll them down halfway. This stuff can get crazy but it sure is fun. Never thought I'd have a system like this but looks like I might pull it off this time. It only took me until I was 41 to get it!

have you ever herd the ID camelions (spelling :confused[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] thinking them too.

 
Rep Power: 0

The ID Chameleons are a very nice component set. Good crossovers and you also get the option to mount the tweeter on top of the mid which gives you a nice point-source coaxial setup. Note that they do need a decent amout of power so keep that in mind.

i didnt realize they were only a 2 way comp system so the are back out of the queustion. SQcivic can you send me some info on those OZ matrix 4 inch comps you have. maybe i can just get a set of 6.5 mid bass's so to put in the door and kind of mix my comps
