Lite-On Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hello all, I'm starting to do a new build in my 63 Pontiac. Atm i'm using 2x 6,5" speakers which are in a ported box mounted under the parcel shelf. Sounds pretty good, but as it's using my space very inefficient, I would like to put them up front. This will be my first fiberglass project, so I need some help of you guys :-) As i'm aiming for a SQ / ESPL setup, I would like to have some midbass (say 80Hz or a little lower). Can this be achieved in a "small" kickpanel? If not, are there any tricks to optimize the midbass so that has at least some of it? :-) They are currently in a pretty bad designed ported box, which is around 25L (0.88 cu ft), tuned to ~70Hz, running on 60W RMS. The composet is a Phonocar 2/805 Special Edition. For now it's still underpowered, but I probably add more power in the future. I would like to make something like this: As I want to keep the car original, I don't want to cut in the doors. So kick panels are for me the only option. Once this little project is finished, i'm going to try building a new sub box which i'm going to place under the parcel shelf - that way I've got some space in the trunk again :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yUmadBro Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'd say if this is your first project start with something smaller than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite-On Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'd say if this is your first project start with something smaller than that Yeah I know, but this shouldn't be a real problem. I have the time for it, and I know that it's my first time so thing could go wrong. Well, in that case i'll have to start over :-) I'd like to try new things hehe. I have more than enough experience with wood stuff, but fireglass is a different story in this case. It's not really the fiberglass I need help with.... it's more the kick panel itself. I've never heard them before, so I was more curious how to midbass will come out in a "smaller" enclosure. I've read on this forum that good middbass could be hard to achieve in a small kickpanel.
