Ollie,
I'm running the same amps as you are. I feel the stock front door locations
stink.
I cut the stock location grating out of the door panels and moved the mids from
the components to the panel itself, instead of 4" in mounted on the door sheet
metal.
They do sound better, but the real fiz in my oppinion are q forms (kick panels).
But there not avaible yet. I was told 6 months ago they'd be out in 4
weeks.......
still waiting. If you could get the mids and tweets facing up at you, I'm sure
it would make a big difference.
Just my 2 cents. I'm not a profesional just a guy trying to get my system to
sound better.
BTW, I'm running Infinity Kappa components. Geoff has the same amps, but is
running qaurtz (i think) I'm sure he's listening.
