Need some 8" Midbasses

[GCAdidas13 10+ year member]

I have some Image Dynamic CD2 minibody horns.

I have some nice fiberglassed kick panels (See Avatar) that are currently set up for an aperiodic install, but can be easily modded to an average sized sealed enclosure. The kicks are for 8" speakers.

I really need some speakers, I'm tired of listening to my stock fronts. To power ONLY the midbasses, I have a precision power PCX4125, which will do 250x2 at 4 ohms, or 500x2 at 2ohms, or 125x2 at 8ohms.

Mainly, I want mids that will be able to keep up for the most part with the horns.

I have had a pair of Image Dynamics IDQ8's, installed aperiodic, but the aperiodic membrane wasnt set up right and they didn't get loud enough for me because of this. Sadly a coil on one of the speakers fried and I've been putting off getting them fixed.

I don't know where to start looking at madisound.com. I have been suggested the Critical Mass 8" driver, but I can't find any other information. And most importantly, I haven't done anything with car audio for about 4 to 6 months and I don't know jack anymore.

So, to reiterate,

I need a frequency response from about 60 to about 1.2 khz,

I need them to work in either an aperiodic or medium sized sealed kick panel,

I need them to be 8" in an appropriate coil alignment to use the amplifier's power effectively.

Help me out, please!

Sorry to post again, but at Madisound just for starters I was looking at these two speakers, wondering if they would suit me:

and

http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?cart_id=3253610.29440&pid=1944

How can I tell how those speakers would do for me? My only concern is that they wouldn't get nearly as loud as I would want them to.

Dayton 8" mids

http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=295-366

You would overpower them with that amp though.

80wrms @ 8ohms

You could probably be careful with gains. Lots of people seem to be getting these and say they Great, and look at the price too.

just get the Dayton Reference 8in non-shielded 4ohm version http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=264-854. You amp would be alot for them. You could get the http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=264-833, but you have too much power on tap for them. It would still work but you barely have to move the gains. Also the frequency range for you won't work since it only goes to 800hz. This one http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=264-854 would work better as it can go to 1khz but thats at its limit.

CDT makes the M6 which would handle most of the power from your amp, definitely work for the frequency range but its an oversized 6.5 so its smaller. PM me if you got questions on them.

alteraudiousa, your first link was to some Tang-Band speakers, however I found the unshielded version. I'll give it a shot for now, however if they aren't up to par I will be selling them and trying something else. I have some money to put into this, probably up to $500 just for the mids, but I have to have something that will do well in a medium sized sealed or aperiodic enclosure.

Soooo any other suggestions?

Do a search on the DIYMA forum. You will find a ton of info and a lot of knowlegeable guys that can answer your questions.

 

[GCAdidas13 10+ year member]

what about these? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=295-100

 

[kicker06 10+ year member]

They have the Freq range your looking for, they handle lots of power and are svc 8ohm. If you were good with your gains you could pull it off. They look pretty efficient too. Good pick! $50 too.

I'm VERY interested in those, I just need to find a dealer.

I think I'll ask PE if they can special order me a pair.

Fried a coil of one of them; its repairable but ID is being a sneaky wench for now and I can't get ahold of them. So tired of stock fronts and I want to try something new
