Is this true about SQ installs?

I was reading on the CDT site and they said never to mount 6.5"s or larger inside a kickpods. It was stated to only mount them in the doors.

But if your running a 2-way setup I don't see how your imaging would be correct if you fired the main tweeter towards the dome light when the mids were firing outwards from the doors.

Do they say this just because space issues? I can see true if you ran a 3-way to mount them in the doors but for those running 2-ways setups why can't they be mounted in a kickpod as long as you have close to the recommended volume?

just put them in the kick pods and see if they sound good. i would imagine you would loose some mid bass out of those due to lack of air space.

How'd I guess you'd chime in :-) hehe.. i thought about 3-way.. gonna stick with 2-way.. i think it would be too hard getting proper imaging on a 3-way setup

im just build some new kickpods.. something bigger that uses the space better

Don't listen to that sh1t lol. Take a look at all the best SQ comp car installs and you'll see custom kicks all over.

The only reason i see there point is you may not get proper volume in a kickpod.. but you can poly fill

on the cdt site you see custom kicks.. but they are running 3-way with the mid-bass in the door
