Better mid bass?

[rfkjustin]

I currently have the ssa midbass @ 100watts. I've heard it needs globs of power to perform. Any recommendation? I need 4. Thanks guys

What do you think of the Evil's? Anything to compare to?

Are you looking for something else in 6.5? Price range? I currently have NVX XSP65 mids and i'd most certainly recommend them at $150/pair

Or, if you don't care about push terminals or mounting hardware, you could get the SB acoustic version from madisound for a little cheaper.

Have 2 sets of ssa mids and tweets which I have not installed yet, I have been hearing the need lots of power, but, also, good midbass rely on good install and good power.

Having gone directly from evil's to my nvx mids I mentioned, without swapping a single thing out, i noticed a huge improvement in midbass response and just overall better sound all the way through. on 80 watts rms.

I never did get to test them on higher power like some suggest, but even on the power I had they crackled on anything below 80hz on my active setup @24db slope

This is good to know, thanks for the info, unfortunately I can not install mine until next summer.

In that case, save up a little more and get these.

They will be my next upgrade to my setup for sure.

crescendo pwx are actually beast midbass drivers that most people dont realize.

I need to pick up a pair of PWX's just for kicks since they are so cheap. What would you cross the 6.5's at?

as low as your tweeters can play. They fall off fast after 3.5khz naturally so their upper midrange is weak. Hence good for just dedicated midbass IMO. Next time I get to play with CSCstang's mustang i need to record a video of the midbass

Should have been more specific, was referring to the HPF.

80hz at -24 db slope. Even with a steep slope they are slamming the 50-70hz notes in his car.

I'm not sure how your having trouble with a midbass that has 6mm xmax. I think it's user error. Unless you can provide frequency response graphs and pics of the install I call bs
