Default Newb question - Kick Panels?

Are the kick panels worht using for the front? Want to go component (tweet,woof)not sure which brand of speaker yet. Have a 1995 Acura (manual). One of my concerns is the on the driver side there is a foot rest plate for the manual.

Will the kick panel interfere with this or do I need to completely remove this to put a kick panel in?

Sound wise worth doing or door/factory placement good?

Well if your talking baout the integra another problem with kicks is that the computer for the car is in the passenger side kick. This can be a hassle to get around. qforms makes a kit for then integ and is 200 but will probably need reinforcement from what i hear. They will take away the dead pedal. here is an example of kicks that kept the dead pedal and i like http://www.sounddomain.com/member_pa...co%20Amplifier

I got quoted 400 do them form a shop though. Factory placement is ok but kicks would help a fair amount IF DONE RIGHT. Depends how picky you are.

wow sweet ride. Yea those kick panels seem a lot thinner than the Q-form ones. I like the A pillar tweeter. But from everything ive ready you dont want the tweet to be more than 7 inches from the woof... shrug...


I dont have 400 to spend, debating the 250ish for qforms. May put in doors see how sounds and go from there.....

Thanks for the link and rest of the info!:thumbup:
