[QUOTE="Here-I-Come, post: 4537752, member: 572320"] Ok when you say midbass driver what do you mean. Just because it is a 6.5 or even a 8 does not mean it's just a midbass. When I hear midbass I think of the driver that works best from around 50-400hz. Most 6.5 drivers to come with ready made comp sets can be used for midbass/midrange duties. Some better then others, but never the less they can be used. If I planning on building a 2 way active system i always look for a driver to has clean response from around 80hz up to at least 3.5khz. Now it no easy to find, but not hard. At this point it makes tweeter choice a lot easier. I just do not like crossing tweeters any lower than that. Its just thins the sound IMHO. If I could I wouldn't go below 4.5-5khz with a tweeter Now if you are planning a 3 way system midbass driver choice becomes easier. Now you look for a driver with good response from as low as possible to around 400hz. Any good midrange driver will be able to play from that point.
