Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Group Buy Kickpanel Group Buy

Hey everyone, Time to bring this back up again. I'll be making kick panels for our cars. I know i posted about this a long time ago, but time hasn't been my friend.

Back to the subject. These kicks are of course custom made, and I will be working on pretty much all different sizes for speakers. I'll be able to fit 6 1/2" drivers by your feet. I will also be working hard on the best angle for sound production, and soundstaging.

Basically I'll be trying to build these to order, and for the few that doesn't know what size speakers you will be using, I will make a couple of generic sets.

The negative side of making these, are the fact that I won't be finishing them with vinyl, or special paint, carpet, etc.. etc.. Because I live so far away, getting matching finishes with everyone's cars are really difficult (believe me, I've tried to get the matching finish for my car, with failure). I'll most likely finish it with primer, for a universal finish for everyone to do.

And since you're all wondering, the price of these should run about $225 or so. This price already includes the shipping, because i know how horrible it can get to ship something to, and from Hawaii. I'll have pics of the finished prototype by the end of the weekend.

Like most group buys, the more confirmed buyers, the more i can negotiate the price lower. So whoever is interested, just let me know.

I'm interested... and 6 1/2" is what I was planning for my components.

Alrighty.. Like i said, the more people interested in buying these, I'm actually willing to reduce the price to something even more reasonable. But i'm sure for the price i'm offering is pretty decent. Any questions, feel free to post.

i am in once i see a pic of one and 6 1/2 is the size i would like also

Will it fit component speakers or will you have to find a place for the tweeters!!

It will have a seperate spot for the tweeters of course, for components. The mount for the tweeter will also be at a different angle, because of it being on the side of the mid-driver. The tweeter will also be mounted in a lower plane, so it's Voice coil lines up with the mid-driver voice coil, for more optimum time alignment.

Okay everyone.. here's the update. The kickpanels are almost complete... I've worked on the angles for hours and hours on each side. I know i wanted to complete the first set by the end of the weekend, but i had to make sure these are worth every penny, and more, so there was a delay.

The ones i have as a proto-type will be able to fit 7" drivers. All I need to do is apply resin, and i can have pictures up. (can someone host for me by the way?? ). So whenever you guys are ready, just let me know,... i'm ready to accept deposits.

I'm making these at an extremely low price, because our cars don't have pre-fabbed kicks, and it would be stupidly high priced in order to make custom kicks from some audio shop. ($500-$1000+).

Just an update..

I'll host for you.

Interested. Can't wait to see pics!!!

Pics are ready to post, as soon as i get a host! Just need to do sanding, and the prototype is complete. Will fit up to 7" drivers..
