Advise on mid sub

[shadow 10+ year member]

I'm lookn'n to get a set of mid sub's to run with my Hertz HSK 165's

Been thinking on a pair of BEYMA 6MI90 6.5"

Thought I would ask and see what you all think of these.

Open to suggestions also...

Thx.

To clear this up, the ES-6MO and HD-6MO mids are midranges that both are sold with standard size 1" tweeters in their respective 2-way component sets. If you want loud bass from a 6.5" subwoofer you should be looking at the CDT HD-M6 or ES-06+. They make a smaller, cheaper 6.5" subwoofer called HD-6MDVC, but the power handling is not ideal for SQL. They're great for my listening tastes, but I usually think my single 12" sub in a sealed enclosure is enough bass.

Will either the HD-M6 or ES-06+ work in a sealed enclosure about 0.6 cubes?

0.6 cubes sealed is larger than the recommendation I have for the ES-06+ subs I have in stock. This is better than too small as you can always fill the enclosure with something like duct seal to experiment with a different volume.

not doubting your knowledge trumpet,but i asked ken about the es 6 mo and he says they are considered subs,not mids

They're labeled on the magnet "midrange". They have so many products marketed as 6.5" subwoofers, "bass emphasized" mids, etc. it's confusing.
