[QUOTE="de8212, post: 5226237, member: 545055"] I am considering switching my front speakers from an inexpensive pair of 6x9's (RF Punch 2-way) to a decent component set. The component set would be Morel/ID/Hertz/etc. Not top of the line but ~$250 or so. I would also replace my RF P1T tweeters with the component set tweeter. The amp is a RF Punch 400-4 (rated @ 50x4 but is under rated) that I would probably run 2 channel mode. My main concern is mid bass. I know the RF 6x9's are entry level but they produce pretty decent mid bass IMO and I don't want to "step backwards" so to speak. IOW I know the component set is much higher quality but can it produce the same or more mid bass in the exact same environment as a pair of inexpensive 6x9's? I'm sure the quality of sound will be superior. BTW my doors are not deadened/sealed but as i said, the midbass is good right now so I want it to be as good or better without sealing/deadening.
