6.5" mids that will play down to 60hz with authority at high volume

Need 6.5" mids that will play down to 60hz with authority at high volume. Currently running silver flutes. They sound good but lack bottom end at high volume. Any suggestions appreciated.

What slope are u using on the mids?

Are they bottoming at high volume?

Doors sealed and deadened?

What amp? 8 ohm or 4 ohm?

Batman or Superman?

I'd say the DDWA3

Can't go wrong with DD

Frequency Response 100 Hz - 22kHz

Forgive my ignorance, but that looks more like a woofer than a mid... and It shows frequency response of 100hz at the lowest?

Thats why I left a link with it, that way he can check it out... it was just the first mid-woofer that came to mind.

Hate when people don't read the OP and just throw stuff out there.

my old Q series quarts go down to 60hz and I run a T600.2 on them gain set at 225w rms(rated 125 rms) and the sound GREAT. you just have to hunt ebay for them.

DDW6.5 is exactly 60hz.. =P maybe give it a whirl

They are discontinued (but sometimes pop up on ebay), but the Alpine SPX-17MB 6.5" mids have a free air resonance of 31HZ.

SPX-17MB

Frequency Response

30-4 kHz

Free Air Resonance (Fs)

31 Hz

I'm sorry but your not going to get midrange to play subbass loud at high volumes and sound excellent..

even the highend mids are meant to be crossed around 80hz and properly done that's the lowest ya need to go even with a 24db octave slope..

the hat Stage VI 6.5s are the closest your gonna get whole still being able to get good midrange..

This. If you want more authority below 80hz on your mids consider doing an 8" woofer attached to the door

The trend of jumping into a thread and throwing out product suggestions is too hasty. Instead of spending money on different speakers there may be crucial installation changes that will satisfy the OP. Midbass needs a LOT of help in cars and when you choose to use doors as the enclosures you need to

1) control vibrations.

2) seal major holes

3) block the rear sound waves from interacting with the front sound waves

Let's see the OP answer the questions from princ3cmo and take it from there.
