more mid bass?

before the doors were sealed, midbass was ok - not great. after seals the midbass is heavenly.

midbass requires seals and is installation dependent - regardless of the speaker chosen. any decent 6.5" can produce adequate midbass for 90% of the systems out there.

1. You absolutely must seal the doors as keep_hope_alive has been very helpful to describe.

2. Doubling the power to your mids is not going to make as much of a difference as the sound deadening work you've done. At best you'd gain 3 dB from just doubling the power, which is audible but it's not that great.

3. I haven't tried time alignment in a truck but it can help greatly to increase the illusion of up front bass by delaying the signal to the mids.

4. Stop any noises caused by the bass vibrations. In my car I still have to figure out how to make my trunk lid stop vibrating, but vibration damping was critical to improving up front bass.

the truck is deadened and the doors are a sealed as they can be.

my front speakers are time aligned and run active as well as the subs are time-aligned left and right

Subs don't need to be time aligned. You should have 0 delay. Delay only the speakers.

verify sub and midbass are in-phase.

Hey winkychevelle.

Are you still thinking of adding a 8 under your dash?

When you place a sub in a box within a box you will get more bass.

You might be having phase issues.

Have you tried to reverse the phase on the sub?

I'm not sure if you ever heard of Diycable-Anarchy mids?

kevin is thinking of releasing them in 4ohms vs 8ohms that he has now.

you can run them in 2way or 3way setup.Yes they will pound the hell out of your doors.

They are have a nice tonality in the midrange, no cone breakup under 2k, the midbass is very punchy.

you could run them down to 50hz

You need to figure out what tyoe of midbass you like.

I like snappy fast midbass, like Hertz, CDT es line,Seas,H-audio vs Scanspeak.morel,Dynaudio,which are more punchy.

Are you really stuck on fosgate subs?

I mean you can try out Sundown,Fi,Audioque,RE,SSA,or Skar which sound much better then fosgate subs.

A Sundown 8v2 will walk all over fosgate.

I'm running a F.A.S.T. setup,I built kick pods for my 2-8's.

I have them x-over @ 63hp & 300lp in mono.

I'm about to change my setup up again.

I'm looking at running 1-8 under my passsenger dash.

2 markaudio mids with Sb Acoustics tweeters on my dash.

With 2-8v2 when they come out.
