8s for midbass

[csu87 10+ year member]

So i havent had my subs hooked up for the last week or so and i have noticed that the midbass in my car isnt up to par with my standards. Right now, ive got the 6.5 type rs that are doing my midbass and med highs and some 4x6s and tweeters for the highs.

I know that running 2 different sizes of subs makes the quality bad, but, if i were to put a couple 8s in for just midbass, I shouldnt get much, if any, interference with the sub frequencies, right?

to sum up, 2 15s for lows and 2 8s for midlows should be ok?

bring the 8s upfront.. cross em over above the subs.. fill your doors with cement..

8's up front will work definately. Just enclose them and deaden doors accordingly and you should be ok

The inductance of a subwoofer is too high to do midbass. For midbass, you need a midbass driver.

Kicker makes the SS midbass and its pretty nice for the money. $100 for a pair of 8s... Cant beat that.

would that also do some decent lows. I snowboard alot in the winter so the subs are usually out so i was hoping that i could retune the 8s when the 15s go out so i can atleast hear some bass.

right now no subs=no bass

They are midbass speakers. They play midbass.

A subwoofer is a subbass speaker. It plays subbass.

get a ski/board rack

had one and someone jacked it out of my garage about a month ago. i usually go with 4-5 guys so all the gear like boots and shit need to go in the back. Ill prolly make a box for one sub so i can still bump alittle

Just screw the amp to the box and just disconnect the amp and tape off the wires when you need trunkspace.
