I am not the only guy in the entire world who does kick panel install. There are thousands of people all across the world and many of them won competiotions using kick install. Google it and see for yourself.
Install is more dependent on what you can do best in a car than what you want to because of restriction of space and driver mounting options.
You will see more cars in future from our side using esoteric speakers in the kick panels because our knees really enjoy soundstage from kick panel location  |
I know the kick panel is favorite among good SQ installs as we get equal listing distances. nice channel separation and imaging.
I don't want to install in a kick panel first the speakers will go in the floor and dust and foot will be first there to kick the speaker. Thats why I am avoiding it. Also there will be less space on the driver side as the accelerator pedal becomes the problem. And mine is a small car with very less leg space.
And the major installs I have view on the net based on the kick panel design the idea is to aim the speaker to the face of the listener not the center console
which if done affect the separation and imaging and the sound stage.
