[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 4097385, member: 549629"] Midbass is localizable. It certainly will be well before 400hz. This is not really a '3-way fully active' setup. That would be tweeter, midrange, and midbass (preferrably all up front). What you are suggesting is a 2-way front stage with added midbass from the rear for strenthening. the problem I see is, running the rear midbass anywhere strong enough to make midbass audibly stronger, will tend to pull your front stage rearward. It wont be rear fill, as presumably you will be running the rear midbass fairly loud. In the end you will have localizable frequencies coming from vastly different points in your vehicle, both wanting to pull your ear's attention in their direction. You can try it, I have my doubts, but you never know till you hear it I guess. As for setting xover freqs and slopes, thats virtially impossible to do via the internet. All we could do is recommend starting points, actual system tuning needs will depend on many things including the specific car/install, and the owner's personal preferences. [/QUOTE]
