[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8753591, member: 611804"] Mixing sub sizes often results on phase issues. Also the higher the frequency the easier it is for the brain to locate the source direction. Size of sub has very little to do with bandwidth. The enclosure will have a much more drastic effect. My opinion is above 60hz should be played by mid bass/mid range door speakers. Though it often hard to get door speakers to play that low so 80hz is much more common of a setting. My 6.5s don't like playing much above 55hz due to the enclosure being tuned so low. Which most people think that small subs can't play low, but I can assure you I can reach down into the upper 20s with decent authority. Is it stupid loud? No its only 2 6.5s but I can get the full effect of the music. I more run into the issue of bottoming out on slap notes because the subs just don't have the excursion needed and I have way too much power [/QUOTE]
