Default Kick Panels in a C6

Has anyone done kick panels in a C6 for the midrange and tweeters?

Say a 3" or 4" midrange?

I am very good at kick panel design for proper imaging, etc... but one thing about these cars, large center tunnels, consoles, far more difficult to make a kick panel work right.

It is easy to do a nice job with a simple A pillar tweeter, door mid setup, very easy and can be great when done right.

I am going to have that setup but have a set of the top line Image Dynamics horns on the way, these cars are great for horns, but just really testing them out for my 53 Studevette project, temp install unless I fall in love with them in the C6 vert

Are you doing a below the dash intall for the horns, or something crazy like mounting them at the dash/windshield intersection?

They will be just under the dash, great dash for horns anyway so why make it hard

But, this is for testing only, just to see how they sound, etc....will use ID 6x9's in the doors when I do as need much more output than 6.5's to keep up with horns.

I have so much to do this has moved into the someday file, maybe......might have the Studevette built before it ever happens then just use the m in it as planned anyway

-----------------

Anyway, kick panels in a Vette, not something I want to deal with, not that much into spending a huge amount of time making it work, if it can very well.

I would suggest searching the audio comp forums, etc and see if anybody won a world title with that setup or placed really high, if not, I would do something else
