[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8066698, member: 576029"] a dedicated midbass will require dedicated airspace. you don't want midbass and midrange in the same airspace. doors are decent locations for dedicated midbass and easy to implement. a dash is a good location for a dedicated midrange (3" is a good size), even the factory locations are a simple location to play with (with some work to seal the rear airspace). you would need another amp to run a 3-way front active - but it can be worth it. taking midrange out of the larger woofer allows you to push the woofer harder and not lose detail in vocals and instruments. end result is louder and cleaner. the main concern with low quality head units is distortion on the outputs. an MS-8 can't eliminate distortion that is in the original signal, it just compensates for level differences in frequency bands. while the source doesn't need to be amazing, you just need to operate it intelligently and not expect to crank the source volume.
