[QUOTE="Vanquish, post: 156611, member: 84"] You can add a kick panel to the original stock location and put in a 6.5 or even a 7 inch mid unit. Mounting depth of 3 inch or below will not be a major issue. This will be a much cheaper and atleast IMHO a much more effective mod than cutting the door panel and refabricating them. Here's a couple of pics of my current kicks - currently having a pair of 6.5 inch DLS UR6S mids there. But these will be tinkered with later to accept the even deeper SEAS L18 7 inch aluminium coned mid bass units. And no, the Germans do not have their ears down at their ankles - go ahead and Google up some info on the E36 or E36 cabin acoustics. They have very strong staging and imaging properties while driver transition/blending from mids to tweets are very smooth even with the mids perched up in the footwells. 1. Fabrication - MDF board, angled and fitted with DLS supplied mounting rings. [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k146/Vanquish_08/Picture34.jpg[/IMG] 2. Post install - wrapped with black leatherette for a stock look. [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k146/Vanquish_08/Picture40.jpg[/IMG] 3. The new kicks meant that the hood release latch had to be relocated - a small issue for my ever reliable installer. [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k146/Vanquish_08/Picture41.jpg[/IMG] They look cool, neat and yet simple while being absolutely superb in terms of staging, imaging and improving mid bass response from the DLS mid units. And they did not even cost a fortune to fabricate and install. Cheers, VaN. [/QUOTE]
