I did these for Scott because he wanted a set of pods like mine and he also had the concert II. I chose the door pods for mine because I have the 1", 4", and 5.25" a/d/s componets and wanted the full range spectrum and had the room in the doors as opposed to the kick panels (leg and foot room).
"Wouldnt it basically be obstructed by the drivers or passengers legs?"
There is a slight obstruction but since I retired from the competition circuit and I rarely have anyone in the passenger seat (no obstruction), I actually have very decent staging and imaging.
"Why not the kick panels?"
Foot and leg room! I will figure out something because the kick area is the ideal place for drivers.
"I realize that large drivers take up space, but what about smaller drivers in the kicks and a midbass in the door?"
"I have 5.25 Kappa components in q-forms,powered by my McIntosh, and the image is very good, but lacks the low end of a 6.5 setup. Have you ever thought of doing a 4" component set in kicks (to save foot space) and using a 6.5 or something similar in the doors to handle the lower freq's? Im sure with some clever crossover"ing" that the stereo image would remain good, and would gain the "bass upfont" that alot of systems lack?"
The 4" components is an excellent idea for the kicks becasue I have been thinking of how to do this for maximum foot and leg room. I had planned on doing the kicks eventually but I am unsure if I am going to do the mid-bass in the doors and or kicks.
"BTW, how is the front end on your GN coming?"
Its all assembled. all I have to do is paint the hood and I am finished. I will post pics when I get finished
. I may snap a pic today with the front of car done and the hood unpainted. BTW, Thanks for the compliments on door pods.
