Anyone had any experience with these? How do they sound? Do they get in your way driving?

I'm really curious and would appreciate any input from you guys that have tried them out.

Kick panel pods can work great and will help make imaging easier.

I am no fan of Q-Logic. IMO it is "punched out" junk, you can do better yourself.

Yes they do get in the way, you will constantly be kicking them, [and the speakers] and if it is wet outside inevitably the speakers will get wet and dirty.

Don't get me wrong, a good set of properly installed pods are great for a 3way component system. 94

PS... http://www.qlogicenclosures.co....aspx see what I mean by in the way.

You get what you pay for.

Nothing is impossible, the impossible takes longer and costs more money.

In fact, I'm in the market for another set for my Accord.

However, they could definitely benefit from a few simple tweaks. The ABS they're made out of could be a few mils thicker, and they could come with some sound deadening on the back.

Also, if you're the fabrictor-type, if you're able to seal the back side, they'd sound even better.

As far as getting in the way, it took me about 3 days to get used to them. I lost the dead pedal in my Civic when I installed them, but it really didn't bother me that much.

But I'll agree with FCM and say that they're a catch-all for dirt & grime, especially when your passengers can't seem to remember that there are speakers on the floor.

I got the zr series jl components in my 00 coupe with the q-logic kick panels and I must say they sound amazing.

Yeah...that's what you told me already.

I entered 4 competitions last year in my '94 Integra and won my class and won best of show in SQ in all 4 of them with door-mounted components. I ran Adire Audio Koda components and the imaging was fantastic. I installed the Koda mids with different tweeters in my '94 Civic and the imaging is great again. I have time alignment in my head unit and that helps out a BUNCH with raising the sound stage.

Q forms are OK depending on what you want out of the install. The good thing about Q forms is that they're super easy to install and you don't have to fabricate anything. The bad thing is they're plastic and they're generic.
