[QUOTE="SkizeR, post: 8716002, member: 633600"] If a component set "sounds good" in one car, but not in another car, it has almost nothing to do with the speakers. The control (the speakers) stays the same. That would be due to install/tuning/the transfer function of vehicle/install locations itself. Raw drivers do not make the issues of a car and the need to do a proper install and lay down a good tune vanish. This type of combo would be silly. A midbass that has a sensitivity under 90db, but pairing it with a midrange that's just as large and has a much higher sensitivity? to tune it properly, you will have to throttle back the midrange and wouldn't be used how it was intended, and you would be leaving its pro's on the table, while still getting all of its downsides. If a good sounding car that isn't "demo car" loud, then a good 3 or 4" midrange tuned properly is much louder than most would think and would still most likely need to be knocked down a bit to match the midbass. again, tuning issue. Focal makes their tweeters very efficient vs their midbass and midrange drivers for a reason, and it actually makes sense. You can always knock down levels on a tweeter to get a linear response, but you cant always dump more power in them to get them to mate up to the midrange in the event that said mid has a more efficient transfer function than the tweeter. A lot of car audio companies do this, and its for that reason. [/QUOTE]
