So let me see if I get it... (regarding the install for HAT L6s in kick panels)

You make a small kick panel big enough to fit the L6, but you leave the back open (or cut the back off) then vent into the crumple zones. Now the kick panel still attaches mechanically to the floor, but... Do you have to seal all the edges to the bear metal floor? This concept of "free air" it's a little hard for me to understand.

Thanks

I can tell you though that this type of panel/enclosure does indeed work for my L8. The bass response gained was very noticable...and nice!

I'd offer to make them for you...perhaps we can work something through the shop for the baffles and you can glass them in to a kick. You know I can do it as well since we essentially have the same vehicle.

Thanks

The free air concept is interesting, but first I need to get my hands on a pair of L6s used, because I probably won't spend the $$ in new ones)

or I'll go for other 6.5 driver that requires a very small enclosure

Man I was so close to hit the "send money" to HAT for a pair of L6s when I decided to go to my car and check the floor over the front wheel wells

all that area is sealed and treated like hell with MAT, CLD Tiles, Foam and MLV...

should I take all that out?

many hours deadening that area, I know I'm drooling for the L6s but is it worth the effort now?

3 layers of Mat at the wheel wells... hard to tell where the holes are, but I'll look into installation photos.

I'm twisting my arm all the way

it's hard to say no to a pair of L6s

sounds to me like another challenge?

lets see what happens tomorrow, I may not be very lucky since there where only 4 left (L6s)

I just read through your install thread, and I have to say that it is all so foreign to me. lol

Ohh this will be a lot to learn :)

Never used that for sound deadening. What we refer to as a milkshake is bondo and resin mixed together.

It never ends... until you stop it.

There should be a 12-step program for this kinda stuff.
