Q-Forms are here for the 7th Gen

At least a pic of them, Q-Logic still says about a month until they are available to purchase.

are there many people that have heard these Q-forms. I don't mean in our 7thgen civic's but in anybodys car? Will this dramatically enhance the sound system of your car? I personally don't like how the front speakers are set up in our cars, basically at your legs pointing at your ankles. If anyone has some experience with these Q-forms fill me in. Does anybody know an approximate price range? Installation probably has to be pretty expensive too huh?

Mystic3030 has a spectacular aura aboutMystic3030 has a spectacular aura about
Installation is a simple DIY man.....you put the speakers into them, pop your stock kick panels out, run the speaker wire to them, and put them in place of the stock kicks.....shouldent take more than an hour.

Yes it is usually a dramatic improvement, especially if you have never heard speakers in the kicks. Q-logic has a history of making excellent Q-Forms when it comes to the Honda Civic. There is even an IASCA World Champion who uses Q-Forms in his Civic. I would strongly recommend beefing them up with some fiberglass or damping mat since they are thin. Also consider using an mdf baffle for the mid and maybe even sealing the rear but that is not always necessary. They usually run under $200 online. They are a definite improvement over the stock locations.

Right...they have a great OEM look, but the plastic is thin so beefing them up with damping mat or fiberglass does wonders.

You can use them with door speakers or in place of your door speakers. A few examples....6.5" or 5.25" comp set in the kicks with no door speakers...6.5" or 5.25" comp set in the kicks with an additional 6.5" in the door for midbass...3-way comp set with tweeter & 4" in the kicks and the 6.5" mid in the door...lots of options. You could also add a set of attenuated tweeters in the stock locations to go along with the kicks if needed. You would be surprised how good just a comp set by itself in the kicks will sound (provided the install is correct). I plan to use either a 5.25" comp set in the kicks with 6.5" mids in the doors or use a 3-way set up, tweet, 4", and 6.5's.

Quality 3 way sets will come with a cross over for this and have at least one input but up to three for tri amping the system. I had Boston Pro Series 6.43's and they had 2 inputs, JL has 2 inputs. With these you would just run your output of your amp to the one input or bi-amp them if you need more output. RF 3 ways come with a seperate xover for the mid bass drives as do mb quarts. With these you could use either a 2 channel amp in 2 ohm stereo just ( just run the left out to the input of the of both crossover in parallel) or use a 4 channel amp for your fronts and have a channel for your mid bass and a channel for your 4 and tweet.

Alex since you work for rockford you can probably answer this. I got my q-forms the other day and the gray is extremly light gray. When I went to cut the hole for the midbass the gray paint chipped and revealed the original color which is the perfect match the the dark gray in the car. Does q-logic consider that color to be black? If I order the black q-forms will they be the original color or are they painted black? Every other year civic has dark gray for an option so I figured maybe you would know.
Thanks
