[QUOTE="fithwheel, post: 8683659, member: 674179"] Generally speaking a larger mid will go lower than a smaller mid but will not go as high as a smaller mid. If the tweeter can't be crossed over low then that'll be an issue. Probably not a lot of specs on those pioneers? Personally I'd be looking for a tweeter with a low fs to match up to a 8 inch mid. Most of the time you're safe to crossover a tweeter 2x the fs. With at least a 12db slope. Probably would feel a little better using a higher slope depending on the power being used in relation to the tweeters power handling. You'll start to get beaming if you try to go to high with the larger mid. It's give and take but why you usually see a smaller mid used with larger mids. This is all generally speaking but that's a super tweeter right? Doubt it will go very low. Might be better off with the smaller mid. Most of the time a good 6.5 will go up to 2.5k Hz before it starts to break up (beaming) an 8 1 to 1.5k Hz. I cross my 8s at 800 where a 2"mid takes over to 5k where the tweeters take over for example. I can go high with my 8 but it's close to the point where the 2 inch mid starts sounding better than the 8 [/QUOTE]
