[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7398396, member: 576029"] tons midbass can be achieved with proper 6.5's. you did your doors justice is sounds like. you don't want dual midbass since they will result in multiple arrival times. if your pair of 6.5's can't play down to 63Hz, then more of them won't either. different locations and different enclosures will also sound different. enclosure volume ties to efficiency. smaller volumes require a lot more power to get midbass output. this requires a lot more power handling since the small cavity will result in more heating, which then introduces power compression and other thermal issues. i've done AP vented kicks for midbass. i've done sealed pods for midbass. i have sealed doors for midbass and i have more than ever. i run a 63Hz HPF, lower is better if you want bass to exist in the sound stage (i can place my bass above my dash - like i had a sub in the center of the dash). i am currently looking for better 6.5 midbass drivers. one very good option i've heard a lot of good feedback on are these: [URL="https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=45_228_256&products_id=846"]https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=45_228_256&products_id=846[/URL] cheapest option for great midbass - good sensitivity and frequency response another option for a bit more [URL="https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=45_228_256&products_id=8234"]https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=45_228_256&products_id=8234[/URL] and of course there are the Image Dynamics CX62 or CX64 at woofersetc. these three options are my current considerations, i'll go with one of the three. with more money i'd go with Hertz ML165 or HAT Legatia L6 or UltraSubs SS-6. given the price of the first option, i may start with them since i'm not out much if they don't perform. i've used the ID CX62 before and liked them, but they were too deep. so i'll need to make pods to gain more depth, but i'll always use the door for a cavity. make 63Hz your goal for a HPF for killer front stage midbass. i recommend just buying a better pair of midbass drivers. if you have anything in the kicks it should be a midrange for a 3-way front.
