more mid bass?

[winkychevelle 10+ year member]

i dont know what happened here but to sum up my question i want to run something like an id 8 under the dash of my truck in the center ported to like 65 hz to gain a midbass boost.

my door are already deadened will this work or is there an easier way short of glassing door pods or changing my mids

Mid bass is more like 100-250 hz and should be stereo.

run some 6.5 mid woofers in the back, no tweets, and cut them off at like 500hz just so there isn't too much else besides mid-bass going to them... that's what I would do.

You could try some sealed pods instead of running more IB in the doors...

Just sayin.

Midbass is directional so having it behind you may not work

Only thing i could think of :/ If he doesn't drop them in the rear factory locations, he's gonna have to glass/cut something.

well i was generally wanting to draw my bass more towards the front so it would blend better at higher volumes

Cut out the current hole to fit an 8" then put like a 3" or 4" up higher in the door

show a picture of your doors as they are now - with the panels removed.

deadened does not imply fully sealed. you need a near airtight seal to get midbass. that includes seals on the front of the driver - sealed to the door panel. but sealing the large holes is where you get HUGE midbass gains.

on the scion we had the doors like this for a few months

midbass was ok but not great. everything was good but we knew the ML woofers could be better.

then we closed them up like this:

amazing difference. more midbass than we could ever want or need. ran without a sub for a year and had useful response down to 50Hz with the ML-165 woofer.

thats about what my doors look like except my panels slide down on to the door so i had to leave roughly six 2x2 holes for the hooks on the panel to attach the door other than that the only place my seal is broken is the front of the speaker to the panel which i agree needs to be fixed but i cannot see much gain there.

and my mids will extend down to 50 at moderate levels im just trying to get the same response at a little bit higher level which right now when i hit the loudest my mids will play comfortably with the 63 hz hpf 24db slope i still have alot of bass volume available i dont want much of a boost i just want the bass to stay up front a little better. when i demo it for people i do it a moderate volume and thats awesome but when i want to crank it all my bass gets dragged to the back of the cab

I think it is better to have more mid bass.

Deadener definitely doesn't help midbass output. Just throwing that out there.

bump trying to bring my bass towards the front of the cab is the end goal
