Dragonware Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 limited experience here, but if you want the factory oem look and you have the clearance some speaker rings can tilt your speakers behind your door panel but why you want this im not sure. Fabricating kick panels more work more money more smelly fiberglass more experience needed. Good luck im sure more guys would chime in now.

Kevin M Posted July 2, 2013 Report Posted July 2, 2013 Think it would be easier to fabricate an in-door tilted mount or make kick panels? What are the reasons you want to build them at an angle? What speakers are you using? Going the door route can be just as complicated as the kicks. A simple straight baffle with no angles can work fine; in the kicks or the door. 2005 Ford Focus zx4 AMT's and Planars 18" Infinite baffle

I'm not sure on what brand I want to go with. Alpine and RE are on the top of my list right now. I just want to lift the soundstage without mounting more speakers here and there. 2009 Dodge Caliber SXT (Silver) Deck: Pioneer X3600BHS Amps: RF P1000X5 Front: RF P16-S Rear: RF P1694 Subs: 1 RF P3D2-10 Cabling: Stinger 6 channel RCA, RF 4gauge kit, SkyHighCarAudio 16gauge speaker wire.

ChevyBoy95 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 I did my kicks on a whim, and with no real prior fiberglassing they came out pretty good. I would just do kicks, take your time, and they will look great.

Pioneerchuck Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 I personally feel that the angled MDF ring for the doors would be easiest. Just make a ring out of 3/4 and shave it down till one side is lower than the other. Wayyy easier in my mind. sanding just seems easier to me but im sure you can route it down.
