jeez its been too long since i have been on these forums. just been really busy trying to find a job and on top of that my net and phone are disconnected. AND just last night my grandma died so thats a bummer.
ANYWAYS, my Q is that. if i was to build kickpods, what is the minimum speaker size i can put them into. cause i have 3.5" MB quarts right now and they're in my dash, and i know for a fact that its totally not worth putting 3.5" in kickpods.

You can put what ever you want...The purpose of a kickpod is to be able to focus the sound exactally where you want it...So if the 3.5s are not focused right in your dash then putting them in the pod wouldnt be a bad idea....I would purchase a GOOD set of MB Quart 6.5 component set if you are gonna go through the trouble of making them....This will yeild more mid bass.....

But whatever you want and what ever you can fit into your car...

I would do a good 5.25 or 6.5.  3.5 probably won't be a good speaker for down in a kick.  That's just my opinion.

I remeber that you keep blowing your 3 1/2 in the dash right? If I am right then go to a bigger speaker as they are generally more durable and as somene else also stated you will get much better midbass if you go to a 6 1/2 or even a 5 1/4
double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

alrighty..and well...not anymore (for blowing speakers) my stereo got stolen and have been w/o ever since so that sucks.
i was actually thinking about getting 5 1/4 co-ax's but they dont nearly sound as good as the 5 1/4 comps. for mb quarts. and the comps are way more than the co-ax.

i dont think it is worth the effort unless they are at least 5 1/4 if not 6 1/2's

Personally, I have build custom kickpanels for my Explorer using 6.5's about 2 yrs ago, and personaly I didnt like how big they turned out.
Personally I dont feel that you need kickpanels for midbass. I have a set of 3-way Focal components now, in which I build new kickpanels to house the 4" and tweeter of the set and put the 6.5" in the doors. Sounds great.
Personally, with the size of 6.5" woofers, I dont like how big kickpanels for them turn out. I would go with a 4" or 5.25" component set personally.
Wanted to at my 2 cents.
