Kickpanels installed..a few pics...

Still have to touch it up a bit, but all in all its pretty much done. I used black instead of gray carpeting this time..IMO it turned out a lot better then my last ones...sorry no pics of the last ones.

I have to touch up some of the gaps by modding the stock panels, but they're secure and they sound GREAT!!

Its takes getting used to because I have no leg room anymore. But being 5'6" ..i don't need much!! And after a good 10 minute prep talk with my gf her foot doesnt come within inches of it.

I'm painting the grills silver so they're still drying.

I tuned everything and the imaging is 100% better. Before them no matter how I tuned it, more sound was either coming from the rear or the front and I couldn't get it right. Now its a great mix and the music just sounds like its cover from everywhere EQUALLY!!

I ran the Gladiator soundtrack on it...its fucking crisper then my grandmother's home made eggrolls!!!

I'll take more pics when its 100% done..which will probably be another 4 months...

Pics in the sig link as usual. Under MISC photos.

Nice. I yanked mine and put some McIntosh 5.25" in the doors along with the MB tweets. Sound isn't as good as the kickpanels I had, but for my upcoming 3200 mile drive I want as much leg room as I can manage.

I also replaced my MB components from the rear shelf with some KEF 6x9 2-way.. I like them, though the wire connect dohickey's are total British lameness.

Nice I would personally do it if the brake pedal is not there. That e-brake pedal is really annoying.

Well done, and probably one of the best places in any auto for imaging is in the kick panels but I would be so afraid of putting a hole in that sucker it's not even funny.
