need a mid-bass speaker that will fit in a kick panel enclosure

[devinblaine 10+ year member]

i am in need of mid bass and unfortunately, the only place to put more speakers is in kick panel enclosure. I am planning on buying a pair of general size kick panel enclosures, which means that I am looking at probably a 5.25-5.5" speaker size, or, at most, a 6.5".

Furthermore, I am further restrained in my selection by the fact that I have over $500 in store credit/gift certificates for circuit city.

here is a link to the speakers available at circuit city. if u feel compelled to do so, feel free to choose one and help spend my money.

i am currently using 2 pairs of Pioneer TS-C160R components, and the highs are very powerful and piercing. I have purchased a Pioneer DEQ-9200 equalizer, which will held in balancing the highs with the lows and mids, but I was considering using component sets for the kick panel speakers, however, I was thinking of not having the tweeters installed so the only additional speakers will be in the low-high ranges. i dont even know if that would work well, let alone if it is advisable.

most kickpanel encolusures can't fit 6.5s without some kind of compromise. with my q-logic kicks i needed to mount my 6.5s higher than flush and the setup interferes with my parking brake

use the tweeter or leave it out? it will be unprotected and will likely get stepped on so......

well i dont think circuit city sells just a midbass speaker, might just wanna buy a component system and replace the pioneer tweeters and see which ones sound better. you could always sell the tweeters/crossover and just use the midbass speakers fromt the components
