[QUOTE="///M5, post: 2481438, member: 562975"] Only if you are really crafty. I'd pick the drivers to complement each other at where they would like to be crossed. For instance if you went with the Seas CA18rnx you could choose a tweeter that only played down to 3500hz with no problem, if you used the W18E's though you better pick a tweeter that plays down to 1300hz or lower. Since you want loud, you now either have to weigh what you mean by loud on the highs/midrange/midbass. You could have all three, but everything is a little bit of a compromise. If it were me and I was going to mix something with an 18", I'd want some serious midbass first and then work from there. Drivers such as the Adire Extremis, Seas CA18rnx, Seas L18 could all fit in your budget but you are not going to have a lot left for tweeters if you go the route of the Extremis which for a 7" will have the most midbass out of anything you can afford in your budget. If you go that route you will need to buy a temporary tweeter that is rather cheap. With the CA's you'd have plenty of budget for your crossover parts and tweeters. * I made the assumption you can put together a crossover since you are using a Dayton mid and Audax tweet currently.
