Is this hard to make? Need advice
[attachmentid=256883]Sup fellas, a newbie here, got a 86 Caprice and need more sound up front. Already has 4x6's in dash, 6x9's in back. Would this enclosure be hard 2 make? Would it sound like shit? Somebody suggested I do something fiberglass but Im kinda restricted on time. I dont really wanna put speakers in the doors. Any feedback would be great.

Q-logic makes kick panel adapters, probably not for your car, but you could check.
The doors are a capable place, but you have to check with the window, a lot of windows will interphere with the install of a speaker depending on depth and how far it rolls into the door. You can use a small ring to space the speaker out of the door a little, but to much looks bad and you'll just end up kicking it or some thing.
If you want a small example of sound stage, take some computer speakers or some thing, and just point them directly at your temples, prop them up etc.... Crank up the volume, listen to a CD (not an mp3) and then point them down or away or some thing, even with just some Altec Lansing $30 ****** beater speakers you can notice it (I've done it out of curiosity, excuse the nick name they have, I know it's awful haha).

fuck that dont cut into your doors that shit looks crappy if you want to improve your sound and you dont got the necessary skills to fiberglass something (like me) then be creative, maybe u can make a center console and angle the speakers towards the front. put some tweets in yuor a pillars or if your really want your kick panels done. find someone that will do em up for you for cheap. i had one guy make my boy a amp stand for his trunk sanded down and painted for like 80 bucks fuck cutting into door panels thats just garbage. i seen people cut into there door panels and the only placement there was , was right in front of the seat so when the door was closed then the seat was blocking the speaker its a bad idea 
do you know how fucked up that front stage must sound...he has the midbass drivers firing towards the leg of the passenger and the driver, and he has the tweeters firing towarsd the rear of the car instead of towards the driver and passenger... if you do build something similar to that, dont use that picture as your blueprint because your sound is gonna be fucked up just like his...
