Featured 2010 ford ranger, which door speakers???

[Doxquzme Premium Member]

Deaf Bonce Sylvester's if they fit. If they don't then go with Infinity Reference or Polk Audio two ways. Just my 2 cents. I've ran all of them. Mounting depth might be your issue. I've also owned a 94' Ranger.

I'd add that Deaf Bonce parent company (Alphard Group) is a Russian Federation Company, personally, I prefer not to support Russian companies. The better option for any pro-style drivers that actually sound good while being very efficient would be Steven's Audio.

Their midbass are superior to any of the Def Bonce which are essentially rebadged guitar cabinet midrange drivers, not midbass drivers, They have an fs of 110 hz, and a recommended crossover point of around 125 hz and an RMS rating of 150 watts . The Steven's are reasonable @ $88 each and they will actually play from 90 hz up (the DB start at around 125 hz) and the Steven's drivers have a thermal limit of 300 watts RMS, twice that of the DB drivers.

At the end of the day, for pro-style with sound quality (and gobs of volume) in mind, Steven's audio, hands down.

Available in 2 or 4 ohm variants.

MB6 Midbass Driver (ea)

View Spec Sheet Here: SA MB_6 Data sheet.pdf The MB6 is a hi-fidelity midbass driver with high sensitivity. Perfect for use in 2 way and 3-way systems, or with our HLCD for an incredible horn loaded audio system. With a low Fs and longer excursion, they produce midbass with impact and dynamics...

Sound quality is a personal preference. It's just like asking what's the best type of food. If you love your Momo's, then I would suggest going that direction. CT is just as good as the next China brand who's trying to make a name for itself. It's not bad for the price. For pricing, check out SonicElectonix.com. They have a lot of deals on equipment that nobody else will have. They have JBL components for less than $100 that rock pretty hard.

You are correct about your speaker size. They are a 5x7/6x8. Oversize 6-1/2 speakers will not fit. You will have to use a spacer.

Like the idea of the CDT 6.7 over the 6.5 even though little more drama mounting....
6.7's much cheaper than 6.5 right now due to sale till end of month...
Not sure if there may be some minor speaker to factory grill in the door panel overlap, assuming that wont be a huge deal to just leave as is if I do encounter that....

Side note, I wasnt set on polk momos, was just comparing what my ear thinks it hears comparing the polls to my focal k2's...
Turns out Polk momo is a thing of the past & no longer produced from my search...

Remember, the bigger the speaker the harder it is to play higher frequencies. A 6.5" has really good mid-bass, but it starts to struggle with female vocals. This is why many SQ systems will have 3-way components. The 6.5 and 6.7 will not have that much of a difference in sound. Especially when you have a sub pounding in the background.

As of now considering these but have till end of month to chew on it, sale ends then...

That would provide pretty good sound.

Yeah I'm a CDT Audio whore. So my vote is CDT

Actually, at the price of the $249 CDT, the Rainbow 2.5-way set is hard to beat.

And I've listened to both of these sets. You're essentially getting a 2.5-3-Way for the price of a 2-way set. Better sound stage with the rainbow for sure.

I'm also offering these as a 2-way set. CDTT HD-M6 drivers, DD Audio Ceramic tweets, 12db 2-way Linkwitz-riley crsoovers at 3.5k, shipped for $300. I built the crossovers for inline ease made of OFC copper air coils and 1% Metalized polypropylene caps, silver plated ofc copper wire to boot!

never heard of the rainbows, looks like same company has them on eBay for $243.
my head is spinning with options & youre giving me more...

Actually, at the price of the CDT, the Rainbow 2.5 set is hard to beat. And that is the same company on eBay, they have them on sale there too. The Rainbow will move the stage up a bit from where a standard two way will get you. I bit more treble forward midrange where a 6.5" tends to provide more emphasis on the lower midrange sound. By crossing that mi/tweet where they do,

I've run both the HD-M6's and now the Rainbow Profi Crystal cone midbass. The rainbow is a solid driver as is the CDT.

Not bad, the only issue I see is that driver likes to be in a ported box, not in a an infinite baffle configuration like a door. Pretty good price though.

So you'd rather support China. Got it.
