6.5" midbass suggestions

[xluben 10+ year member]

i'm thinking of throwing some 6.5's into the rear deck of my accord sedan. i've pulled my subs out, so these would be handling bass duty //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

looking for something fairly cheap, sensitive (

is there a better option than the mach5's? (~$35 shipped)

maybe something from PE?

well, i need cheap

it's down to this (that i've found):

Mach5 6.5" Bass-mid : ~$50 shipped

Dayton Classic 6.5" : ~$36 shipped (on sale!)

BUT i have no idea which would perform better on bass duty //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

OK, just looked and it seems that the Dayton is 8 ohms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

i have them in my home speakers (BR-1) and they have surprisingly good bass, but that's in a ported enclosure tuned to 38Hz)

looks like my only option is the mach5's at the moment. $50 shipped is about the max of my budget and i'll have 75x2 @ 4 ohms or 125Wx2 @ 2 ohms

seems about right for the mach5's, but i'm not sure how they'll do in IB. is it even going to be worth my time?

any other ideas would be appreciated.

Perfect for you !!!

On a more serious note, the TangBands sound like a better option since it sounds like you are wanting more subbass than actual midbass:

yeah, i was also considering both of those (tang band and AA), but they're just a bit too expensive for me at the moment.

IF i decide to put something in my rear deck it'll probably be the mach5's.

BUT is it even worth it?
