RAW/DIY Midbass Drivers 6-7"

[xjbaylor]

Found what I was looking for!

I am looking for a pair of midbass speakers in the 6.5"-7" range. I am mostly interested in the following speakers, but let me know what you have. Will also be needing some new tweets too, so let me know what you have. Other options will be considered as well.

• SB Acoustics SB17NRXC35-4
  
• SEAS Prestige CA18RNX
  
• Silver Flute w17rc38-4
  
• Scanspeak Discovery

I have some Tang band W6-1721 underhung midshttp://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-874... they're beasts 8mm of Xmax and super clean through the midrange can cross them over really high if needed. I also have some Vifa XT25 neos. If you wanted the set I'd cut you a deal. PM me for pics and more details.

I appreciate the offer, but I guess I should have mentioned that my max mounting depth is roughly 3.15". Thanks anyway!

Silver Flutes..............

I assume that was a recommendation, and not an offer? I would love to try the silver flute, but the 4-ohm version is out of stock at Madisound right now, and the 8" is too deep for my doors.

It was a suggestion Ive ran flutes for the past 3 years or so ' on my 4th and 5th set now" for the money there is nothing that can touch them. They will have them back in stock in no time call them and they can give u a date. If the 8's are to deep then use a mdf spacer to make them fit....

Thanks for the feedback. I wish the MDF spacer would help, but I was including a 1" MDF adapter just to get the 3.15 or so I currently have. Any thicker and I end up hitting the door panel, which I don't intend to modify in this vehicle. The 6.5" Flute is my first choice if I am buying new. While I was waiting I figured I would see if I could get the Seas, SB's, etc. for a good price used.

Head over to DIYMA. There is a member with the SB Acoustics 6.5" mids up for sale. I think $80 for a BNIB set.
