Message: <blockquote data-quote="LCP" data-source="post: 6428" data-attributes="member: 2424"><p>I believe this subject has been discussed to death many times over... but the reason I'm bringing this up is I found out that there are two warring (not, just kidding!) camps on this topic... one is for the kickpanel installation, the other is for the door panel mod to fit a component mid-bass driver... I'm still sitting on the fence on my front comps project... hope I don't fall off accidentally and break my head like Humpty Dumpty, that is why I need advise from all you sifus, mahagurus, yodas, etc. etc... I know the kickpanel mount is good for staging as the difference in distance from driver's ears between left and right speakers are less than when mounted on the doors. But some say the E36 kickpanels simply do not have the enclosure volume needed to produce proper mid-bass low enough (till 70-80Hz at least), they will roll off at 160Hz or so, how true is this? What is the stock unmodded kickpanel enclosure volume like (in cu.ft. or litres I don't mind)?  As for the mounting on the door just like majority of the other cars on the road these days... with the availability of time alignment on many head units these days, is the staging still a difficult thing to get right? What is the typical volume of the door cavity? I think it's quite big, 1 cu.ft. maybe? I dropped by Klasse (Jln Pahang, next to Tawakkal) while I was in KL a few days back... the boss (Kho) is very very accomodating, he is a proponent of door mounting for the E36, showed me photos of Affan's E36. Spent over an hour talking to me... a very enlightening lecture I must say...</p></blockquote><p></p>
