About the Q-Forms Kick Panel Enclosures
Many award-winning sound-off competitors put their mid-woofers and tweeters in custom-built kick panel enclosures because that's one of the best ways to get a concert-quality stereo image. But why pay hundreds of dollars to an installer? Mount your 5-1/4" components in Q-Logic's Q-Forms, which deliver competition-quality imaging without the expensive custom installation work.
With Q-Forms, each speaker is located and angled to maximize sound quality. The theory is that the distance between your ears and each of the speakers should be equal. With your speakers in the kick panels, it's like sitting in that "sweet spot" at a concert or right between your home speakers.
All the available colors for the Q-Forms that fit your vehicle are listed here. Pick the color that matches your interior. If there is no match for your vehicle, that means Q-Forms are not available for it. Please check with us before purchasing by using the vehicle selector on our site, or calling a Sales Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to verify fit information.

Installation
NOTE:
Installation requires you to bend the parking brake pedal 1-1/2" to the
right. If the vehicle is equipped with an engine computer module behind the
passenger kick panel it will need to be relocated to beneath the passenger
floorboard carpet and covered with the supplied plastic computer module housing.
Disconnect the car's battery before moving computer
module!
Mounting speakers requires cutting
out mounting holes in the designated areas of the plastic Q-form. The tweeter
can be flush or surface mounted, but if surface mounted make sure to allow for
clearance from obstructions such as the parking brake.
Installation tools required: hole saw (can also use air saw or keyhole
saw), two crescent wrenches, drill, screwdriver.
Estimated Installation time: 2.5 hours (per manufacturer)
Giving exact mounting depths is not
possible since it will depend to some extent on the space available behind the
factory kick panel, which can vary; however, the minimum flush mount
depth is .75" for the tweeter and 2.5" for the woofer/mid bass
component. Per the manufacturer,
the maximum allowable speaker depth is 4".
You can mount a tweeter with a maximum diameter of 2-1/2" and a
midrange/midbass with a diameter size ranging from 3 1/2" to 5 1/4".
The maximum frame width/diameter allowable for the midrange/bass driver is
6.125", so a few 6-1/2" units may fit. Our database
contains information relating to cutout requirements, frame width, and mounting
depth for all of our speakers, so please check with a Crutchfield sales advisor
before ordering if you wish to use 6-1/2" speakers in these kick panels.
