QUOTING:


In the front, I use MB Quart QSD components for my front stage. Image beautifully! I am real impressed with them. There is a 5.25" QSD set in the front kick panels and Dual QSD 6.5" Mid-Bass Drivers that are in the front doors in custom fab'd panels. Very Nice! The 5.25 and Tweet are run off a Rockford Fosgate Type RF X3 amp. The two 6.5 Mid-Bass's are also ran off there own Rockford Type RF X3 amp (@ 2 Ohms).In the back I have a MB Quart 4" component set that is run off a Rockford Type RF X2 amplifier

Are you talking about those 6.5" component speakers mounted in the kick panel?

If so those are what I have just ordered, they are made by Q-Logic and they are from their Q-Forms line. I just ordered a pair for myself, I never knew about them until the roadshop manager at Circuit City (where I work) told me about them and said that I could much better sound if I added those. So I went ahead and ordered those and some 6.5" Infinity Kappa Perfect speakers.

I believe they have the custom made kick panel enclosures online but I'm not sure.

Cool but the fact that the color match is way off screw the whole thing up. He needs more than a 180amp alt too with 7 amps

the q-logic will only fit 5.25" speakers. unless you are very creative and wanna hack those guys up...

that's why he has the 6.5" midbass drivers in the doors...

Crutchfield has the Q-logic kick panels available. 149$

Vehicle Compatibility: This item is made specifically for the following vehicles

Toyota 4Runner, 1996-2002
Toyota Tacoma, 1995-2003
Features

Features:

Color matched to interior of your car
Molded in one piece for factory appearance
Speakers positioned and angled for optimum stereo staging and imaging
Equalized path lengths reduce right/left volume bias
Original kick panel can be replaced if desired
Speaker Compatibility: Giving exact mounting depths is not possible since it will depend to some extent on the space available behind the factory kick panel, which can vary; however, the available minimum flush mount depth is 0 .75" for the tweeter and 2.5" for the woofer/mid bass component. You can mount a tweeter with a maximum diameter of 2-1/2" and a midrange/midbass with a diameter size ranging from 3 1/2" to 5 1/4". The maximum frame width/diameter allowable for the midrange/bass driver is 5.9", so a few 6-1/2" units may fit. Our database contains information relating to cutout requirements, frame width, and mounting depth for all of our speakers, so please check with a Crutchfield Product Advisor before ordering these kick panels.

Installation

Installation tools required: awl, hole saw (can also use air saw or keyhole saw), screwdriver

Estimated Installation time: 1.5 hours (per manufacturer)

Cutting Required: Mounting speakers requires cutting out mounting holes in the designated areas of the plastic Q-form. The tweeter can be flush or surface mounted, but if surface mounted make sure to allow for clearance from obstructions such as the parking brake.

First thing I saw that too , If you look close, it appears that the sub box is covered in the same color as the SEATS, rather than the plastic interior body panels.

They should have bought 3 extra yards and recovered the interior panels too.
