Kick Panel or Door Pod?
Any opinions on which would be better? I plan to either build fiberglass kick panels for my 6.5 in CDT Components, or build door pods. I want the tweeter mounted near the midwoofer and them to be angled towards the sunroof. Which would be better placement? I'm certainly open to alternative suggestions...

Why not angle them towards your ears???
But to answer your question, I am a fan of kick panels, however, I've never heard a system with proper door pods...
Are you dead set on building them? Because QForms are nice, and only require a little dynamat on the back side to sound even better...

well its just a general location, i want them to be symmetrical and the sunroof was the only reference point i could think of.
im set on bulding them. im leaning more toward the door pods simply because im iffy about footroom...

i would lean towards kick panels. much better in terms of the path length difference and really arent too back in terms of foot space

Re: (EBP_SI)
i'll look more into kick panels then. maybe i'll save my doors for 8" midwoofers so i can have a 3 way system 
...we'll see though.
now to hijack my own thread:
my tweeters sound like **** and i cant stand it. theyre brand new cdt tw-25's driven by an alpine mrp-f250 amp bridged (the component set is the cdt audio ef-61fg/tw-25 tweeter set found on woofersetc.com.) i've made a post about this before with not much help but i was wondering if phasing would have anything to do with this, not necessarily the static i've been getting but the fact that the passenger side tweeter shows its *** more than the driver's side. as for the static, it dosen't do it as much and i'll probably just end up redoing all of my grounds to see if they're good. i know the tweeters aren't overdriven so i dont know what the deal is.
