Suggestions for a 4" Full Range

[got_focus? 10+ year member]

I am currently using Mypre mids in my doors, and they sound incredible, but I would like to add more volume to my setup. Don't get me wrong, they are crazy loud, but I crave more. I am currently running 200w to each mid and have 100w to run to each 4". I will be mounting them on my A pillar. I already have the midrange covered with the Mpyre's, I just need more volume.

I am looking for something that gets loud off of 100w, and sounds VERY clean.

These are what I have looked at so far, but have never heard them in person.

IMO 4" would be too large to run full range in a vehicle.

What do you suggest then? I am looking for something 160hz - 10k

why? i have ran them many times with great results. although like op mentioned cut the lows out a lil. i would cut them off at about 100hz personally. i used to run 3.5" full range in place of tweets. much smoother sound imo. tweets are usually too harsh for my likings although there are some nice sounding ones out there, just few and far between.

Well, for starters, a 4" driver is going to begin beaming at around 3500hz.

Thankfully some speakers come with phase plugs to help that out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Absolutely phenomenal driver. I've heard it in 5 different sets of speakers and it delivers in every application I've seen it in. Extremely high value

You're right, they do. But don't think that is going to generate some remarkably extended off-axis extension.

If your goal is tweeterless in a vehicle, I would personally stick to 2-3" drivers. 4" IMO is encroaching upon too big for the application.
