How are these MIDS?

The new DB Drive pro audio line is great. Its all going to be way way way louder than any of the Peerless stuff.

If you already have something and are looking to get more vocal response, go with a sealed back. Cross them around 200. The Earthquake sealed back line sounds great and gets super loud. I was told by a guy around here who sells a ton of the Earthquakes that they are made in the same factory as the Beyma.

Another speaker to check out is Whip. They are loud and have an awesome sound. Cross around 300hz and they play great. Pretty cheap too.

And if you are getting rid of you Peerless mids, where is your midbass coming from?

???

You'll also need that midbass area to play lower vocals as well...I'd just get more efficient 6.5" mids that can handle more power.

W/o looking through all of the posts, look at the surround, there isn't one, so to speak, so there's not going to be much low end on them. Here's my recommendation for 6 1/2" mids.

^^^ not going with those. i looked at them and they make specs for a reason and there just not up to par.

Are you say that the silver flute aren't up to par or the dbdrives? I'd put the silver flute up against the hybrid audio L6 mids. I've heard the L6s and they are sweet and I run a pair of the silver flutes. They compare very well.

I think basscort is looking for rip-your-ears-off loud, not necessarily really good sound.

Because it's an actually midbass/midrange, what you're looking at are purely PA midranges...no low end, no midbass. If I were to spend $300 on a set of four I'd get some B&C's or something, not a company who slaps their name on something and sells it for 2x's the price.

Still not gonna get hardly any midbass though.

Hell, I'd get some of the Daytons before anything else you've listed. A pair of anything on each side is going to be loud, especially with these PA style mids, so look for something that'll at least give you good sound and can cover lower vocals well.
