Just wondering how much time you spent listening to the speakers in the location you are making those panels for? When I was trying to determine the optimal setup for my system, I found the best performance occurred with the speakers up off the floor and slightly tucked under the dash. Also, the angle and location of my kicks don't intrude nearly as far into the footwell as yours seem to, although mine are for 5.25" coincident drivers and not a 7" component set...

Bob, what did you do about your hood release? Looks like your kick covers it up completely.

What I actually did Bob, was start off with how your setup was, and how your angles were based. It didn't quite work right with the component set, so i just worked from there. I also had to compensate for room having a larger driver. It took me about 4 hours of positioning, and repositioning.
All in all, IMO i think it came out nicely balanced.

The should work with minimal (if any) interference.

I agree with Bob, seems that they stick out too far in my footwell. If I wanted to do that I could buy the universal kit from Crutchfield. I was expecting a little more integration....sorry

They stick out, but not enough to get in the way of the clutch. I've been working many hours on this trying to get it to fit perfectly. I chose a 7" mid because there are a few with 7" drivers. The set I'm making right now is a prototype. I'm trying my best to get it the best it can be.
There is a lot more hard work to be put on these... i'm not done yet.. i just wanted pics to be put up of the preliminary product.

To answer your PM, I'm still interested, though I have to admit its a guarded interest. I know you're trying to make a quality product, but with something like this I think its safest to wait for a more "final" version. I know you said it should fit with a clutch pedal, but I'd really like to have someone test it. Also, I was planning on putting my tweeters up above... will having them on the floor sound good? Will the sound stage be too low? (I'm a n00b about those kinds of things)
I will buy a set if they don't interfere with the clutch at all and they produce the proper sound.

Hetfield,
I would recommend putting the tweets right where Ren has them designed with most 6.5-7" drivers. You could put an additional crossover in place and run some small diameter tweets in the a-pillar to cover the not so critical 7khz and up range. It will do a decent job of raising the soundstage while retaining good imaging.
