[QUOTE="jujumantb, post: 1525169, member: 555241"] IMO, in the midbass area, people are too often too concerned with the driver and not concerned enough with the install. Time and time again, people who have poor midbass will see, like, an XXX mid and think dropping it into their doors will solve their issues, it usually wont. Like I've said time and time again, midbass is 10% driver, 90% install. You'd be very surprised with the midbass performace I've gotten out of very mediocre drivers by taking care in the install. You need to make sure, #1, you have correct air space, this is an issue with alot of people when they make kickpods. They dont make them large enough and midbass performance is badly hurt, venting them into the carpet can help somewhat, but this leads into #2, make sure the front and back waves are completely seperated! This is an issue in alot of people's doors. They make their pretty baffle/adaptor and drop the speakers in, not thinking to completely isolate all the holes that allow the front and back waves to mix (cover with sound deadening), and, as you know, playing a speaker out of any enclosure will result in NO midbass performance. If you make sure to do these two things, I guarantee you wont need any hardcore midbass driver and tons of power to get good results. As any veteran guy knows, the less speakers, the better. Being able to get great midbass performance out of a decent midrange/midbass combo is just one less thing to have issues with in imaging and cancellation. [/QUOTE]
