6.5 mids...will i be at all satisfied

[BCotrell 10+ year member]

I liked my PWXs for midbass but the clarity was not so great IMO.

I'm really interested in trying some Dayton RS speakers next. I have some Dayton DSA woofers that I really like. Unfortunately they have been out of stock for a few months now. But I am very happy with the Silver Flutes and they are pretty flat down to 60hz.

Yes. Parts Express shows the 4 ohms on back order but looks like that seller on Amazon has some in stock.

Hmmmmm, be the test subject or go with trusty flutes! What’s your take on the rs specs respective to performance potential. Poised for a door install?

I would take the Silver Flutes over the RS150s. But the RS180s over the Silver Flutes if you can fit a 7" woofer.

Rs180 cutout is 5.75…it’s 5.7 on the the current ssa’s. my mdf door rings are an inch thick cut to same diameter so depth is no problem and I can cut the new rings a tad bigger if I even need too. 7” it is. What do you recommend as crossover point. I was gonna do 80 but wasn’t sure from mid to tweeter. Tweets are ct2

I would try 80-3k and see how they do. I have my CT2s crossed at 2k.

What tweeters are you guys pairing with those silver flutes?

 

[Popwarhomie 5,000+ posts]

I use Massive CT2s myself.

SB Acoustics SB29RDCN and SEAS Prestige 27TFFNC are also very popular tweeters to pair with them.

I have those SB Acoustics and really really like them.

Not a versus. I currently run active with a two way in my front door/pillar and sub stage the highs snd lows are good but my midbass is meh. Ct2 tweets, ssa evil 6.5’s run on a ppi 900.4 ( the og one). I am a dumbass and bought 8 ohm ssa’s so
I had to bridge the rear which messed up my time alignment. I’m going to switch to four ohm drivers. Question is should would a set of pwx6.5’s make a difference? I know the audiofrog 60’s have been referenced as an out of the box difference maker but I wanted to keep this swap relatively inexpensive.

thoughts? Better choice in same price range for what I’m trying to accomplish?

the C1’s are nice I just got them amplified with an old school e4300 mids are ehh but the highs are really nice 200 pair

The Alpine XT-25's from China are a good pair with the silver flutes as well.
