Dayton RS vs Orion HCCA Millennium Edition Mids

[profoundwill 10+ year member]

I will be putting these mids in a 2002-2004 suburban's stock location and was wondering which ones will be better. I plan on running them with a Us Amps USA-442 so I don't think power will be an issue for either one. If I get the Dayton I will prolly get the 4 ohm version and the Orion will be 2 ohm. My main concern is how will they sound in that factory location!! What will be the frequency response of the Dayton RS. I plan on running an active setup if that helps, so which ones would be better? Thanks!!

What frequency range do you need the driver to play? Do you know what tweeter you'll be using?

Really depends on how well you install and tune the speakers, and what type of processing you have available to you aswell as where the factory locations are located

I plan on using the driver somewhere in the range of 100-2000Hz. As far as tweeter I am not sure yet. I am looking on partsexpress and I see so many. Please give me some input on what tweeters I should consider. I think I will need a tweeter that is sort of bright since I am putting them in the stock locations which are by your leg, I want them to be heard! So which tweeters do I need? Also which mids do you think will be better for my app?

the dayton rs tweeter is an amazing one. downside it takes up a lot of real estate for a tweeter.
