8" midrange in the front?

Sorry, but please don't offer advice on something you obviously don't fully understand. Yes there is a difference between mid-range and mid-bass.

Okay Bwap, you're up. What is the difference between mid-bass and midrange? According to a major speaker supplier their are subwoofers, woofers, full range, midrange and tweeters?

Sub 20-80hz, mid bass 60-400hz, mid range 400-4000hz, tweeter 4000- up

Sub 20-80hz, mid bass 60-400hz, mid range 400-4000hz, tweeter 4000- up

so if my tweeters are crossed at 2.5k does that make them mid-tweeters?

Just an example.

A real mid bass is strong when most mid ranges are weak. Any good mid bass driver will out do the best midrange in the low end.

Isn't it difficult to get two midbass woofers facing each other in phase?... Anyway that is not an option, I guess I will have to look for an 8" woofer with a demodulating ring so it will be smooth in the higher hz. Is there anything else I should be looking for?

Also if anyone could recommend a setup with crossovers and such that would work well in my situation, I would appreciate it.

My situation:

Power to work with(front only): 150@4x2 / 300@2x2

Want to run 8" midrange and a silk dome tweeter and/or a supertweeter.

I want good sound quality but also want to utilize as much power as possible.(amp has low %thd at 2 ohms)

Seeing as there aren't any component sets to choose from, crossovers will be needed as well.

Id prefer to stay away from iron core inductors in the crossovers as I read that they are less SQ.

Looking to spend about $200+/-

I don't know if your trying to be witty or I am reading you wrong, but there is a difference between mid-bass and midrange.. look it up.

Not interested in anymore discussion on that topic...

In that price range you want to go PA. I'm a SQ guy but I don't mind the sound of the DD VO series stuff. It's the only PA I would ever run besides the $$$$ Hertz SPL show stuff.

The B1 bullet super tweeter covers the frequency range from our high output mid-range speakers to frequencies that send dogs running for cover. | DD Audio

Hmm im checking out hertz and DD, looks like good stuff. I was originally looking at crescendo.

add 5 or 6 more speakers and don't forget the silicone

Well, thats what I get for posting right when I wake up lol, I went full retard for a few posts :/

Whats your setup?... pioneer coax and stinger rcas?(id be embarrassed to note).. idk why your flaming me, but you should upgrade some more before talking.

@ddtc You seem like you may know an answer to another of my questions.

I have been considering wiring a supertweeter on a switch in paralell, so when I open the doors I can drop the ohms and raise the output while adding the distance effect of the supertweeter. Say im wiring a component set that is 4 ohms and crossed at 5k. When I switch the supertweeter on, the impedance the amp sees would drop.

Would the crossover point of the component set change because of the change of impedance on the line?
