A 6"- 8" mid-sub to go in place of 6x9's

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

I am looking for suggestions on a mid driver that has a little boom to it that I can make an MDF adapter and mount it free-air in that location. This would be powered off the QAA1000 about 250W per side. Any suggestions?

I need something that I can use the power on tap.

If they're high passed couldn't 2 more M6's handle close to that power?

How about the Tang Band 6x9" subs?

They're 8 Ohm drivers and rated for 90w so an output of 180w ~ 200w @ 4 Ohms would work well for them...

With the gains on your Quart 4ch set conservatively they ought to work pretty good for what you're needing.

Add to that you can get a pair of them for

Peerless SLS8s if it is midbass only (60-250hz)

I always thought a round speaker was better? Would the TB's mount in a 6x9 opening or is MDF required?

Another thing is I don't know where you order TB's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

I imagine the TBs would mount in a ByNine opening as they are a 6"x9" driver...

You get them from Parts Express...or, ----> here.

I dont know any 6.5" or even 8" that you will be able to free air with 250rms...

If you made some enclosures you might find something.

Both of those, however, are 4 Ohm drivers and I'd wager not quite up to the task of taking the amp he's wanting to drive them with.

The 8 Ohm version of the TB ByNine 'sub' as I posted earlier would be a much better choice when considering the power he has on tap @ 4 Ohms...

Isn't the QAA1000 a mono amp that puts out ~1000w rms at both 2 and 4 Ohms?

Seriously, go read some reviews of the Peerless SLS8 on DIYMA. It will do what you want. Recommended power is 125 watts @ 8 ohms. They will blow your ****ing mind.
