Hey street have you tried installing the accord kicks from Qlogic??? They look exactly like ours. I ordered them and going to give it a try. Plan on running 165W3 3ways.

That would be an awesome setup. I would like to hear the highs and lows on that baby. Would it fit, from the accord?

The kick panels were only $145 at woofers ect. I couldn't resist! 6 1/2 midbasses in the doors and 5 3/4 mids and tweets in the kicks!!!! AHHHHHHH. Street you read my mind about the ZX475ti's.

$145? That's pretty cheap. If they do fit, you might want to reinforce it with additional fiberglass and spray sound deadening material on it so your speak won't sound "hollow".

value, I've got a question. I was looking at those Qlogic kicks .. and I was feeling for the dead pedal in my car. Dont those kicks get in the way? or you never put your left foot up that far under the dash anyway?

thanks.
