So I got a new car and the horns don't fit. The only way they can fit is if I do some major dash modifications which I'm not going to. The motor sits too far into the kicks to mount the 6.5s. So, eventually I'm going to sell the horns.
I want to keep my beals 'cause I love 'em. I want to put them into kicks and lose the 6.5's too. I thought about looking for a 3" midrange and tweet combo to run active, or find a decent fullrange. No matter what way I run, I'll be running active.
From what I'm told, the Beals really sing upto about 450. Randomly the other day, I stumbled across a link to a fullrange 4.5" driver that will cover me from 450-20k with a slight dip in response at about 7k.

They're 150 a pair so price wise they look really good however I can't find and RMS values. My Rub604 allows 150wrms@8x4 so I have plenty of wattage to throw at them. Other than RMS, what could I expect output wise? If a sealed kick doesn't have enough output, I can probably do some kind of vented kick using pvc tubing if I needed to. I could also probably get a second set (two 16ohm's to run at 8) and seal 'em up.
So.. RMS? output? suggestions?
