Best mids to use for around my budget.

[Juice0723 10+ year member]

Just wondering what would be the best mids to use for a around $200 budget for 4. I was going to get four selenium 6w4p 6" mids. But just wondering what else I could have that is better. Or is actually 4 ohm mids.

Maybe it's just me, don't those seem a bit cheap for how good they claim to be?

Everyone is going to claim to be the best out there. Dayton makes quality stuff, and the OP wanted four mids for $200 or less...

We should probably establish if these mids are meant for dedicated midbass duty, midrange, or both.

I want to cross the mids at 100hz-6khz. Then have my Crescendo XST2's at 4khz and up.

That's a pretty broad freq range. Have you considered running 2 for dedicated midbass, and 2 for midrange? If you have the processing power to do this, it would be a better choice.

I have a 2009 car. I don't want to practice fiberglassing on it. I just have spots for mids in the doors. Then I could find a place to put those tweets. I would like to have a dedicated midbass but no where to put it. That's why I was looking into the Selenium 6w4p mids at partsexpress. Says it could do 80hz-9khz.

I was gonna put one mid in each door. I could make a box behind the front seats for more mids tho.

These, they are 8ohm tho. want 4ohm more but I guess I could bridge my amp.:

Most, if not all mids, can go that high. Hell, I can hear symbols through my 10" sub if I play it full-range. The problem is that most speakers will not have a flat response curve that high, and with a 6" speaker you run into beaming issues way before 6khz.

It sounds like you're just wanting it to be loud, so go ahead and use some PA speakers.
