New 6.5s for Doors

Does anyone know anything on the FaitalPRO 6FE200s?

The Fs of 120 Hz makes this a mid-woofer, not a midbass woofer. The 95 dB sensitivity is fairly high, but your bottom end is limited to 120 Hz unless you like a boatload of distortion.

You need to try a pair of these. CDT HD-6 offers the ideal blend of sensitivity with midbass punch. I can have a pair to you by Friday, the 31st. If you want to get 2 or 3 pairs and up your amplifier power that can be arranged as well.

I'm not going for SQ, I'd be fine with a 100-120 hpf on like a 24 slope. I mainly am looking for it to keep up with my sub stage, but I would need 4 total.

Is your sub stage going to play well up to 120 Hz?

No, but I don't think realistically finding a mid going down to 80hz efficiently in a 2 way setup on 225w per speaker with a solid 93+ sensitivity

If I'm missing any information, I'm wanting to learn.

I realize now you aren't trying to do a typical SQ system, and that's great. I want to quickly go over a problem I've needed to solve and tried to prevent in the sound systems I've designed and installed.

The graph pictured below shows the range of 20 Hz - 20 kHz as measured in my car a couple of years ago. The squiggly purple line is a single subwoofer, a 6.5" mid-woofer(possibly even CDT HD-6) and a 1" tweeter.

The circled area shows an audible problem, a big problem. The midbass ******. This can be addressed in several ways, but tuning cannot fix this if your subwoofer can't play high enough to meet with the bottom end of the mids.

You can cut and cut some more with your EQ and amplifier gain adjustments to try to smooth out the transition, but it probably will totally remove the balls of the system. Nobody wants that.

I have a pair on the 80PRS hu and they sound really good for pro audio and very efficient. There videos on Youtube with them being compared to the Beymas and others.

Here's one I found the other day.
