Someone's Kickpanels over on E-Ebay
 

Decent enough looking set of Kicks for the 01 up Protege are posted over on E-Bay right now...
Note that this auction is not for the speakers, just the panels.
Stated to be for a three way set up- as near as I can comprehend like this- 6&1/2 in the stock door location, then the 4 inch in the pod, along with the one inch tweeter.
Interesting to look at for design if nothing else-

hey, isn't he on this forum? :confused:

looks good tho. i wish i could get them, but i am suspended from ebay.
bastards. :mad:

I've seen those before. If he isn't on this forum, he is on the "other" forum. You know the one with 3 different names. Anyway, I think these would be fine for the casual listener, but they look pretty cheap to me. I am going to venture to make my own fiberglass ones in the next couple of weeks for the 4" and tweet of my Focal set. I will post pics later to see how they come out.

I won't say the look bad or good, but the backs of most shop built kicks look pretty rough. One of the first rules of industrial kick building is to not re-invent the wheel, use the sidewalls from behind where the kick will go as the basis of building the new panel. This set is larger than I would build for my self.
Good for you to try your hand at fiberglass! I almost always end up making more than one set, a first set to try for sound and to discover limitations, and then a second decent set that won't look so bad. Don't be surprised if it takes a bit. If you are using a set of three way focals you are right, you can tighten up the design considerably over this!
Still, I thought the post is ineteresting, not something you see too often.

yes, it is not something you see too often. Here is the thread where he was trying to sell them on here.
