Kick Panel Enclosures

Do anyone have these kick panel enclosures? If so, what components do you all have and do you all think its worth the money. Crutchfields has it for $199.

Link didn't work for me (got me to Crustchfield but not the enclosures).
Not sure why you'd need kick panel enclosures though, the doors are large enough to hold any size speaker you could possibly need.

I don't think it worth it at all, it would be if it was $50, not $200!

Kick panel enclosures are great if built and tuned right. The reason why people add Kick Panels is because they face directly at the front passengers rather then shooting across the cars. However, they need to be tuned correctly so that they are in phase and the vocals arrive at the ears at the same time as the door speakers.. it is best to have a high end shop custom build these. usually they will custom fiberglass a set of kicks and use the appropriate speakers to work best

amen, good kicks blow away door placement.

I HAVE taken a set of Q-form kicks and glassed the back of them and the floor of the app and made an enclosure for them for a friends 92 that sounded really great! sorry no pics...but for the price he paid for the q-forms we could have just made our own ,but he already had them and we made due with what we had. straight out of the box they resonate BADLY!!!

yea, you need to glass or dampen the qforms to make them more rigid. Here are the ones i had in my '88 SWB.
