Looking for 6.5 midbasses in dual 2ohm or single 1ohm load....any exist?

I have some slim Morel 8"ers you might be interested in...if you don't mind an 8ohm coil.

that'd give me 25wrms per ch //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

You are asking for a mid bass driver, but you don't have a way of modeling the micro-enclosure you are proposing? The enclosure is going to dictate every bit of the on and off axis response of whatever driver you choose. You might like to review the following video link once or twice, paying close attention to the response trace as the listening position is changed.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

The door/pod shape and volume has way more to do with what you'll hear than the difference in single 4 and dual 2 ohm coils.

link didnt work. repost it, i'd love to watch this video.

anyone know the best way to measure the volume of an irregular shaped small fiberglassed enclosure? i might as well pour water into it and measure the volume that way....the inside is all fiberglass, i'm pretty sure i can get away with that right?

Yes, you can. But if you are afraid of getting the pods wet, use a dry substance like styrofoam peanuts.

Just hit YouTube.com/hexibase and hit the latest video regarding the build of his vehicle. It has a still shot of the 3d rendering of his tapered transmission line enclosure......but pay close attn to the example of variable axis response. It's so much more advanced than any box modeling system out there.

Also, note that the shape, rigidity, mass and location of that enclosure has just as much impact on the response as the volume.

im pretty set on the orions....i think the2001 a/d/s made orions will do better than a modern mid range priced jbl....

thx though...

ineded up going with the orions hcca6.....i love old school stuff so this hould fit right in.

I guess I could try a small freq gap....say midbass 80hz to 250hz....midrange picks up around 500hz-600hz.....you guys think thats worth trying to maximize my lower midbass output?

BassAddictJ: Did you watch the video yet? Notice, that is based on the parameters of ONLY the Mirus coaxials he extrapolated. Every other driver will have different response traces at any given measuring point.

the back two channels of the ax606.2 do 200w @ 1ohm for my midbasses. i had my ax400 bridged (200w x2 @ 4ohms bridged) but the input get summed and the midbasses are mono.....it woul dbe nice ot have the same power, but with stereo seperation....if i can find speakers that can give me the desired imp.

Since you have 2 of the ax400's wouldnt it be easier to run both of them in 3 channel mode, for eample the mids and one midbass on one and the tweeters and a midbass on the other. If you run the left rca with a splitter to the rear input on one and the right to the other, you will get your stereo separation and 200W@4Ω.

the ax400's were sold. im getting the ax606.2

havent watched the video, will later tonight. i hope i can make it work with these speakers.

What are you trying to accomplish?

 

[BassAddictJ 5,000+ posts]

i just want it to be clean and loud enough to keep up woth a faily loud system. the mids dont need ot be 145db, but they need to at least blend well. the tweets and midrange do pretty well, just need to orions to do so too....

i watched the video, and i understand the concept of the ts parameteres and enclosure variables interacting....but id like to see something more specific to how (as you mentioned) the shape, ridgity, etc effect the output. so i know what too look for.
