Hahahaha........ I love it when I can help someone achieve a higher perspective of such a simple thing as a "kick panel". I started installing professionally in 1989, and I remember the birth of q logic, and when those kicks first come out. I believe it was the mid 90's, and they haven't changed much since.... they are what they are! Alot of people will think they are the greatest thing, I personally don't care for them...
And this is just the opinion of one old installer....
Well I love learning about stuff like this from people who do it professionally, so thanks! I've built and installed quite a few audio setups for myself and friends over the years but never worked at a shop or anything like that so my experience is limited. It's cool to hear first hand experience on products I've seen or heard of but never had a chance to check out.
My red truck has got a pretty nice (and semi-period correct) SQ system that I put together over a decade ago. It was a really fun project.
