Mids to pair with Rainbow CAL 25's

[Kyle! 10+ year member]

I have ID OEM's but they are to deep. Will be ran active from 880prs, and powered by DD S4 (200 @ 4). Depth needs to be around 2.7in.

I have considered the mids from the Hertz hsk165 set, but just looking for other opinions. I listen to everything from metal to rap.

They'll do 200w a side if you ease down a little on the gain. Mine took that for a few weeks, no problem.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ended up going with Rainbow SLC 165 midranges. There isn't a whole lot of info about them, but people seem to think highly of similar Rainbow products so I figured I would go for it.

Should have looked on Madisound for raw drivers and read the Zaph tests...

I think the ID OEM's are pretty decent. I suspect the SLC's will be ok, but I'd have gone with the germanium woofers personally.
