Midbass Drivers for Rear Deck (1999 Camry)

[headless 10+ year member]

Hey all.

I've just gotten my new setup installed and am getting it tweaked out. I listen to mostly techno/trance/dance/chillout music with prominent basslines. I've got a 12w6 that is absolutely awesome at reproducing everything under ~ 70hz (i've got it crossed over @ 63hz/18db slope and am using my 6.5 component set up front for my front soundstage. I'm thinking about adding a pair of woofers to the rear deck to take over between ~ 70hz and ~160hz or so. I was thinking about 8" IDQ's or something along those lines. This system isn't designed for SPL, i just want a very nicely rounded SQ setup. Any suggestions? I've yanked the stock 6x9's out of the rear deck and was thinking it'd be convenient to put some 8's in there, but am open to suggestions. Don't want to cut holes anywhere //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Got about 300-400$ to work with.

You wouldn't want those drivers to be behind you...most likely will pull the soundstage far back and lose coherency.

So the only real solution to this problem would be to make some kicks and/or mod the doorpanels to accomodate 8's, yeah? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif ****.

At what frequency does the bass become directional and it start to matter having it behind me?

You don't have to use 8 inch midbasses... There are some very nice 6.5's that will get the job done, and quite well.

6W0, from JL? I'd love a pair of those for midbass.
