thanks,

That's why most of us go with 2-way components rather than 3 ways (which aren't necessary IMHO). In order to use a 3-way system you're gonna have to have some custom kick panels made that will hold the mid and tweet. The woofer can go in the factory location. And, again, IMHO there just isn't adequate room in an F-body to use kick panel speakers to get the best effect from them. There's just not enough room for your legs AND the speakers.

LS1 is right. Trying to put speakers in the kicks is difficult in our cars. You probably would get better results from a properly installed 3-way system, but a quality pair 2-way set is more than adequate for most systems. Aside from needing kick panels, keep in mind you will also need more amp power, and maybe some crossover equipment as well.

To help answer your question though, you can buy some Q-Logic kickpanels from www.crutchfield.com However, I recommend doing a web search and trying to find someone else who sells them because you can almost always find cheaper prices elsewhere as crutchfield sells very close to retail most of the time. Also, if you e-mail lacher@lachernet.com he makes custom kick panels for our cars as well.

 

thanks for the help, i emailed that guy you recommended so hopefully he can help. the Q logic kick panels were for 5 1/4 and $200!!!
