yeah I think I won't bother too much about the kickpanel.. it's too much job..

Have you completed doing everything ?

[PULSSSAR]

nah mate, havent completed it yet, these things take time. I only get to work on it for a couple of hrs each day after work, and sometimes not at all.

I've made no progress since a couple of days ago. I'm working on flush mounting the tweeters in the new baffles at the moment.

couple of weeks until completion I would say...

Three ways would sound better at the ultimate level, BUT, this will really depend in the install. The whole benefit of a three way over two way is to gain a decent mid bass driver up front. Invariably these almost always end up in the doors which usually defeats the purpose of having mid bass up front. Car doors are terrible things for speakers. Its ok for tweets and mid ranges,but once you try and start getting amy mid bass/bass out of them, they serve as a very poor enclosure because the door trims, switches, window sills all leak and no matter how much brown bread and spray on goo you put in there, the whole door is still a big thin sheet metal box.

The only way to do mid basses up front imho, is to enclose them fully inside the door. Very hard to do because of window winding space and youll never do it in a micra. fairlane or monaro maybe.

In a leaky door, a mid bass will perform like a mid range, defeating the purpose of going three way in the first place.

alternatively, get those mid basses in the kick panels. that will make a good enclosure if you can find the room in the micra. Probably your best bet.
