[QUOTE="winkychevelle, post: 8811894, member: 611804"] Not really without a rta it's hard to measure the frequency roll offs of the crossovers you have. If you drop to lower ohm speaker it can drastically change the crossover point. So if stick with the same ohm load You could do the math to figure it out but honestly I'd probably just wing it and find a fairly efficient mid. Personally I don't use crossover boxes but you only have 3 channels to play with and unknown dsp or crossover controls. Otherwise I would run each tweeter to a channel and each mid to a channel an set the crossovers with a dsp of some type. But that would require a separate amp for your sub and bring more careful to not blow your tweeters. Looking up you component set the cross over is just a 3500hz lpf on the mid so pretty much any decent 6.5inch mid should work. Though some won't. The es165k set uses the same crossover from what I've seen. Focal is stupid expensive I might would suggest the ddaudio a series 6.5 mid it's reasonably priced and a good performer. [/QUOTE]
