Classic Kick Panels

Notice the surface for the woofer is flat. Install up to a 6-1/2” woofer using woofer supplied grill and tweeter. Cut holes for your woofers and tweeters according to specifications as the size varies with manufacturers. This series has 1/2“ deeper mounting space available to accommodate larger and deeper magnet structures

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


Note: The Q-Forms do not come with pre-cut holes, so you must cut holes in order to install your component speakers in the enclosures. Installing the Q-Forms panel enclosures in your vehicle may require relocation of the parking brake pedal or other vehicle parts.

Already have a Q-Logic Enclosure and Subwoofer system? The next step is to upgrade your speakers. But first, we need to clarify one thing. Stock speaker locations are not the ideal. In most vehicles, the speakers are mounted in the doors and fire directly into your leg. Here’s something to think about. Whether it’s a Home or Car Audio store, when you go to listen to any speakers, they are always aimed directly at you. You are “On Axis” with the speakers. Speakers are engineered to Sound and Perform Best, when you are On Axis. Once they are installed in the doors of your vehicle, you are now “Off Axis,” because the speakers are no longer aimed directly at you. Therefore, the ONLY time you get to hear your speakers, as they were designed and engineered to sound, was at the Store when you bought them. Does that sound right? Not at all!
The addition of a pair of Component Speakers, in a set of Q-Form kick panels, puts you back On Axis with your speakers and back in the “Sweet Spot” for great, concert-quality Sound. Hopefully, this makes sense. If not, please visit a Home or Car Audio Store, stand On Axis with the speakers, then turn or stand Off Axis and listen. The difference is Amazing

Why this location?

The idea of locating speakers in the kick panel area dates back to the hey-days of organized sound-off competitions.  The best way to understand why competitors began to locate speakers in the kick panel areas is to consider the difference between listening to music in your vehicle versus listening from the comfort of your sofa.  In the drivers’ seat of a vehicle, you are to the far left of a pair of stereo speakers mounted in the doors or the dashboard of the vehicle.  Contrast this to sitting in the “sweet spot” on your sofa, equidistant between a pair of properly toed-in stereo speakers!

Obviously, your sofa offers a more ideal listening position.  This central position allows the sound from each speaker to arrive at the listener’s ears at the exact same time.  A really good pair of properly set up home audio speakers will allow one to hear the vocals and instruments exactly as the recording engineer intended, as well as their locations within the soundstage – both left and right and from front to rear.  In some cases, the speakers can seem to disappear, giving one the impression of being there!  The term to describe proper localization of instruments and vocals within the soundstage is called “imaging” – and this is one of the most difficult things to achieve in an automobile.

Q-Logic C-Series Q-Form custom kick panels are designed to hold a 2-way component speaker system consisting of a woofer up to 6-1/2" and a tweeter (up to 2" diameter). They are fabricated of durable ABS plastic, easily painted to match your classic car's interior colors, and directly replace the factory kick panels. The positioning and angle of the speakers provide optimum stereo imaging and staging.

No Grilles: No grilles are included with the Q-Forms, you must use the grilles supplied with the component system. In some cases, the grille could slightly overlap the mounting surface for the woofer. In this case the cutout can be made so any overlap occurs at the back bottom edge where it will not be visible.
