Navi Man: i'm running 6.5" midbass drivers in the doors.. PITA to fit right, but it does sound sweet!!

Deus: the q-form is in the way of the parking brake, but all you have to do is bend it over some.

Heres a link to give ya some pics and info. I wouldn't buy from this guy as the speakers can be found cheaper elsewhere. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1943616198 Also pay no nevermind to the BS large text at the top of the description. http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/website/tech/index.html

Anyone happen to know where to get Q-forms and Thunderforms at a good price? Also do the Q-forms cause any problems with the parking brake pedal?
the IDQ v.2's are better subs then the new V.3's. they handle allot more power.

navi man, The front's hold up pretty good for me alone, they have some kick to them. I would love to get a 8inch woofer in the door though , that would be some nice mid bass.

Might have to do some custom doors eventually with fiberglass and everything.

Dynaudio has a 3-way set that sounds awesome. I believe the driver in one of them is a 7"

6.5s are easy to fit, just use a piece of 1/4inch mdf and make an adapter plate. Cut out the hole for the driver to fit into. Mark the factory holes and drill the adapter, mount the driver to the adapter then attach the whole assembly to the door with the factory holes. Costs about 2 bucks and takes less than 20 minutes.

dynamat x-treme is good stuff , I dont know why someone would recomend the other stuff over it. It doesnt need a heat gun to apply, its thicker than hell, is somehwhat forgiving if you mess up, easy to cut with a razor, and just plain works great...but everyone has their favorite of everything I guess

Oy. Call Matt Borgardt up at Image if you don't believe me. Same power handling, more excursion, cast basket....more better.

I had planned on putting some 8s in the doors on my L but instead decided to keep the install as simple as possible. http://www.onlinecaraudio.net/nd8. Also an Illusion ND12 sub to compliment the ND8.1 component set up front. http://www.onlinecaraudio.net/nd12. Instead I am going all CDT (because I carry the brand and it is awesome gear for the dollar). CDT ES-630 6.5" Braxials up front and CDT CL1015 subs in a thunderform (if I can ever find one!!). http://www.cdtaudio.com

As for damping mats, http://www.raamaudio.com is imo the best stuff for the dollar. He also sells it on ebay under the seller id raam for cheaper. I feel I need to remind people that damping mat is for DAMPING. It only controls resonance and lower frequency sound. You will want a foam/vinyl (or lead) sandwich mat to go along with the damping mat. This will greatly reduce high and mid frequency noise and also act as a gasket between squeeky panels. B-Quiet makes a good asborber/barrier product but it is only for use where it will not get wet.

Well the ID''s are usually cheaper then the JL's anyway. JL cost more for the name.
