My first set of kick panels done in my dorm room at Mizzou! Tell me what you think. Ill tell you what i think. I think they are to small any one with suggestions on what i should do? Drill a hole in the bottom? posted_image

I will post the whole project as soon as I am finished with the second panel and when i get some advice as if people think thats a big enough enclosure for the speaker.
Thanks Tom

Wow... super tiny, hehe...

I would like to see other angles of the pod, such as the back, etc.

This reminds me of the quick pods CAE magazine did a couple of months back.

I 2nd leaving them sealed, it'll sound alot better like that anyways.
BTW, those things look crazy, at first i was saying to my self(from a quick look at the first pic) man, that justa speaker sitting in the cup holder posted_image

then i saw the second pic^^ and put my foot in my mouth. Thats a really odd design. Looks really cool, but just hope it sounds well and you dont break it putting your foot on the clutch. GL with door #2

Considering the extreme angle, I am now wondering about sound quality. 2nd I also noticed that it is sitting below the door panel edge. Are you still able to close the door with the panel mounted back on?

The enclosure is a bit on the tiny side. That may affect how they sound. If you lose some of the deeper notes and want to restore it, instead of drilling out the bottom, consider cutting out some of the door panel behind the fiberglass and then enlarge the airspace using the area within the door panel to keep the sound isolated and clean.
