[QUOTE="MiniVanMan, post: 2792878, member: 573252"] The more I research, the more I'm thinking the AC130 might actually be the best driver for this situation. It's looking like the MK2 has a slightly higher breakup than the F1, but it's not very high, and makes the driver very usable up into the 3k range (which would meet up with the LPGs just fine). The F1 does have the distortion at 1.8k, but most likely inaudible in a daily driving situation. Vehicle off, eyes closed, and just the right song, on just the right recording might be audible, but if you listen to music like that, get a home audio setup. I don't know what the difference between the F1 and the MK2 would be tonally. I don't know if it's the cone material that causes the distortion at 1.8k or the motor. If it's the motor, then the MK2 will probably yield less distortion. It's probably the case either way, and if it's a concern might be worth the extra few dollars. Either way, I think it might be a good setup. I can't be positive because frankly I've never heard it. However, Zaph's T/S parameters are making me a believer. All other things being equal in his testing process (which can't be said between manufacturers), the AC130 has a lower Fs, and a higher Qts. That tells me it will react better in the door than either of the Seas options. How much better? It might be minute, or not at all. Numbers are numbers, and don't tell the whole story. The distortion at 1.8k will be inaudible with either the F1, or the MK2, in a moving, or even idling vehicle, no matter what's being played. And the best part... it will match up to the LPG tweet. For the most part, it looks like it should be a great compromise between the Seas drivers. If I was in the market for a 5 1/4" setup, then I'd sure give them a try. Of course, that means very little when it's your money, and not mine.
