question about dedicated midbass location

i have substantial room in my kicks(deep dash) 4" deep without issue and roughly .5 cubic feet. to throw a wrench in there, the mli 6.5 is also supposed to be a low end monster

Midbass behind you should theoretically work, with a few caveats;

1) You maintain accurate time arrival of the midbass

2) You adequately keep high frequency content out of the driver, so you need to really control your crossover point/slope & harmonics

3) You eliminate any rattles/resonances that identify the midbass location

4) You keep the drivers as wide as possible

Just off hand, RC/SW Buick Grand National & Harry Kimura's(sp?) Acura used rear mounted midbass drivers successfully in competition, when there really was competition.

If ECA wasn't dead, Werewolf had a great thread on this subject.
