Wanting to run some sort of 3 way front stage this go around. I want to try something like a midbass woofer in the door with a component set in the kick or the like. What equipment would you guys reccomend to do this?

Active or Passive? I could set you up with a 3-way set of dayton speakers for about $275 and all you'd need is an active crossover. Its probably what I'm going to do....

Get rid of those TB 6x9's and get a Dayton 8" woofer...probably sound better...

Depending on your budget and if you want active and passive. I would say Profi vanidaiums, Dyn 360 or morel elate 6

Depends on your budget and, as mentioned, if you plan on running active, passive, or a combination.

I just bought an active xover from jntar //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif
I'm goin active ftmfw! Tang band 6x9 subs in the doors, MBQ premium 6.5's in the dash and mbq premium tweets in the a pillars. I've got a Kicker KQ9 to do all my equalization.

Better have some time alignment capabilities aswell.....otherwise your soundstage = the sux0r

Would be much better off going with the 6.5" and tweets in kicks.

And really, if the TB 6x9's perform decently up to ~300hz or so, no reason to use a 6.5" woofer. Waste of real estate. And more benefits could be had by using a smaller midrange and extending it's upper end frequency response, allowing more of the midrange to be played by a single driver.

as already mentioned we would need to know if its active or passive. two totally different animals and will influence largely on drivers selected. if you have a chance to go with a 3 way front stage, i say go for it. it'll do wonders for the front stage.

probably stay passive just because im a front stage noob

Budget ?

If you are sticking with passives, stick with "pre-built" components aswell.

Don't try to DIY your own.
