Adding mid bass upfront

Agreed, "2.5 way" setups with two identical midbasses playing the same spectrum is a PITA...phase issues, aiming problems...

Would the Pioneer p880 have the ability to do this? Or are there any AFFORDABLE active crossovers that can do this?

If you are going to switch to something like the P880, I would suggest as some of the others have done and simply go with a fully active 2-way frontstage. If you like the tweeters, ditch the mids and go active with something like the AA Polys.

Is 75 watts enough power for the Poly mids?

That's plenty. My amp is rated 60wpc and gain is up mabye 1/2 way. I run the Vifa tweeters from AA. The Logic xt25 I believe.

I don't seem to notice any phase/imaging issues with 2 mids per side. Maybe I'm too busy noticing the incredible clarity and fullness of kickdrums lately... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
