Sorry, wording was wrong. I am not on a skinny budget. As in a dont gotta save a lot of money. I am willing to drop probably 400 on a front stage and 200 on an amp. Just to kinda give you an idea. Sorry for the miscommunication. But I am having fun looking through the site you sent me to.

oh cool, if that's the case grab the xt25 vifa tweets or these : https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=9046

Ok, Lol. Those aluminum tweets can get quite bright tho. What exactly do you look for in a midbass driver? If its too long to write, dont worry bout it. Lol. Just curious what I should be hunting for. Was thinking something like this, only cuz I hear a lot of good things about Scan Speak... https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=45_228_256&products_id=8688

Seeing as how your mom gave birth to your fatass, i'm sure she's more inclined to have more space. Give me a link to a good one bitch

Yea, since I am probably only gonna run a front stage I was gonna pick up a Clarus set, but would probably just run them passive... Lol. But now I have all these active ideas, Lol.

It really depends on your tuning, aluminum does not necessary get bright. I've had crystal tweets that were aluminum and they were some very nice sounding tweets. As far as picking mids go, I know nothing of the sort really. I just buy and play with them to see what I get from them lol

Ok, sounds good. Lol. I was thinking silk dome myself. I have an Infinity Kappa Perfect set right now, and wow, the tweet is bright as hell, and the midbass driver produces no bass! I dont mind the tweet so much, but the beefy *** mid gives no bass, which puzzles me. And some people ran them active and still said there was no bass. I have even sealed my door up, well mostly.

Infinitys are known for their bright tweets, so it's really no surprise there. That's another advantage of running active that I see. You can set the gain for the tweets and mids individually. Therefore the tweets can be relatively low-powered compared to the mids

SO even tho the mid woofers say they recommend such and such box, you can just run them free air?

That deff makes sense. You may turn me active. Lol. I will have to talk to you guys about some xover points tho.
