Best 6-1/2 inch mids w mounting depth <2 1/4 "

[Kybassbwoy]

Cut enough plastic out in my s10 dash speaker holes to fit a 6.5 in instead of the factory 4x6. Tested fit w a mb quart 6.5 mid I had and was just a quarter inch too high at 2.5 depth, so I know it will work and still fit under factory hole cover on dash.

I'm more into a bright, detailed sound and will be running separate active dedicated midbass in 80-150 hz range in rear beside sub box so don't need a low fs driver for that purpose. Xover point b about 150 hz so something that excels in 150- 5k range and would like to keep the same brand tweeters in the same voice. Knowing me id probably b happiest w horn tweeters as I keep pushing reg tweeters to death. I love my loud guitar solos and cymbal crashes!!
So far, the prv 6.5 shallow that handles 250 RMS looks good to me as well as the infinite reference line too. I know both make great tweets that would voice well w the mids but would rather go w the prv or something that handles power and gets loud. Was really wanting to do the Orion 6.5s but depth is just a lil too much
