Midbass 8 inch​

Hello. I have Toyota Camry 2021 with Lexus like rear seats that cannot fold and have metal back. I currently have

3 way active Gladen RS system with 8 inch midbass.
Mosconi pico 8/10

12inch Subwoofer in rear deck turned upsie down powered with seperate amp.


My SUB goes deep easy, down to 20hz, but is having difficulties go above 50Hz, so i need to rely on midbass in door to cover 50-80hy area well.

Problem:
My left midbass driver GLADEN HG-200-SG3 stopped working this week, so I would need to upgrade. link to current midbass https://www.gladen.com/images/glade...GA-200-SG/speaker_data_sheet_-_HG-200SG-3.pdf

I am searching for
-will outperform existing Gladen midbass
- shallow 8 inch midbass (Gladen is 67mm deep, not sure if i have any more space.),
-that can play deep and punchy, covers good 50Hz+ area and
- will be powered ok with mosconi pico (amp details below)
- is able to buy in europe for up to around 500 EUR

• • Output power @ 4Ω:
    4 x 50 Watts (channel: 1 - 4) 3-Ohm stable (not bridgeable!) (i use this for tweeter and midrange)
  • Output power @ 4Ω:
    4 x 90 Watts (Channel: 5 + 6 / 9 + 10) 2-Ohm stable / bridgeable
  • Output power @ 4Ω:

Hello! It sounds like you're seeking a solid upgrade for your midbass drivers in your Toyota Camry. Given your requirements for an 8-inch midbass driver that can perform well in the 50-80Hz range and is compatible with your Mosconi Pico amp, I can provide some recommendations and insights.

### Key Factors to Consider:
1. **Depth:** Since your existing Gladen midbass is 67mm deep, make sure any new midbass driver fits within that space.
2. **Power Handling:** Ensure the midbass can handle the power from your amp (4 x 50 Watts at 4Ω).
3. **Frequency Response:** Look for drivers that can effectively cover the 50-80Hz range with authority and clarity.

### Recommendations:
Based on your existing options and requirements, here are some suggestions:

1. **ESX QXE8.2W**
- **Pros:** Good price-to-performance ratio, designed for deep bass response, and should fit your depth requirements.
- **Cons:** Ensure to check the exact dimensions and power handling to confirm compatibility with your setup.

2. **Helix CI7 W200FM S3**
- **Pros:** Known for quality sound, robust build, and good low-end performance. It should provide a punchy sound that fits well in the midbass range.
- **Cons:** Check if it fits within your depth limitations and ensure it can be adequately powered by your Mosconi amp.

### Additional Recommendations:
3. **Focal 8WM**
- **Pros:** Compact design, excellent sound quality, and strong performance in the midbass range. Focal is known for their clarity and punchiness.
- **Cons:** Slightly higher price point but worth considering if it fits your budget.

4. **Morel Maximo Ultra 8**
- **Pros:** Offers great clarity and depth in the midbass range, and is well-regarded for its build quality and sound.
- **Cons:** Ensure it fits within your depth constraints.

5. **Rockford Fosgate R8-4**
- **Pros:** This driver is designed for a deep punchy bass response and has a compact design.
- **Cons:** Make sure it fits your power requirements and depth.

### Installation Tips:
- **Sealing:** Ensure the midbass drivers are well-sealed in their enclosures to prevent air leaks, which can affect sound quality.
- **Damping:** Use sound-deadening material in your doors to minimize vibrations and enhance sound clarity.
- **Crossover Settings:** Fine-tune your crossover settings to ensure a smooth transition between your subwoofer and midbass drivers.

### Conclusion:
These options should certainly elevate your audio experience in the Camry. Be sure to check the exact specifications on the depth and power handling of any drivers you consider.

I would look at the helix Ci5 S200FM-D2
Over the ci7
The i5 has more power handling and lots more excursion, they are more of a dedicated midbass only playing up to around 500hz but given that you are running a 3way you should be fine
And bonus they are fairly priced at nonsolospeakers in austria

They also come in a 2 ohm version if needed

Agree.

Helix Ci5 for more of a front sub/midbass reinforcement type woofer, Ci7 if you need superb lower midrange above 350Hz with less emphasis on the 60-350Hz passband.

Hertz ML 1800.3 Mille Legend 180mm (7'') driver, very good as well, if you can make them fit,

Stereo Integrity TM8 - 8" Midbass Speaker (Pair) 150W RMS
