3" Mids?

[ThxOne Premium Member]

I have ordered some speaker pods that will hold 3"-4" mids and 1"+ tweeters. I have been looking for a good 3" - 3.5" mid for my 3-way active front. Is there ANY reason I should NOT get a pair of Audison AV-3.0 3" mids? $180 new. Would you suggest something different at that price or below that would be a better choice? I have 3 sets of tweeters, of which, the Dayton Ti domes are the closest in sensitivity @95db to the AV-3.0 @92db.

Audiofrog is out.

Just curious... the 3.5" DS18 all over ebay... Cheap crap or decent deal? I don't know anything about DS18.

They are going to be on axis.

I ordered pods as I want them to be portable, as in transferable to my next vehicle (probably a Jeep GC 99-04)

DS18 equals cheap chinese garbage, bottom of the barrel kind of stuff. Audison makes some nice speakers in the mid-bass and mid-range speaker lines. CDT Audio has some nice stuff as well out now, ICR if they have 3" mid range speakers though.

They do... well over $200 for a pair of 3". CDT ES-03X and AF-256/03

I am interested. I have looked at those speakers as well, however I don't know the mounting depth of these pods yet. I am assuming near 70mm. I think the Infinitys are near 45mm deep from a top mount. PM me a price please.

I have those exact speakers bookmarked on Parts-Express. The specs look good on them.

Ok, so that has been settled. Kappa Perfects and either Silk or Ti domes.
