6.5" Subs

[Nightshade]

i highly doubt it, if they take over 100 rms i would be surprised

I wouldn't doubt it, with a pair of 2000d's strapped at 1 ohm these subs may last for a burp. I would roll into them for sure and just see how high I could get the score before they catch fire. I don't honestly know about a 140, but I think a 135 should honestly be a reachable goal. I will probably not do it ever anyway.

Those ED's look nice. I need some opinions though. I am thinking about getting some q-logic kick panels. Perhaps I can fiberglass the bottom of the kick to make it an actual sealed enclosure for the 6.5 on each side. I wouldn't think I would have to worry too much about it flexing on me as this will be just mid-bass. Anyone have any ideas on this?

I would not put a sub in the kicks at all. The idea of a kick panel is to fire the speakers at your ears for better staging and imaging. A subwoofer is an omnidirectional speaker meaning that it can be in front of, behind, to either side of you and it should sound like it's coming from all around you. I would get the kicks and put a comp set in them to handle the highs and give you some nice front stage. Then I would use the factory locations in the doors to mount the 6.5" subs maybe even in a small enclosure, but would even be fine in an infitite baffle.
