[QUOTE="skydeaner, post: 4170553, member: 570181"] sounds like toymachine has a little midbass envy going on... maybe his woofer is a lil too small, or doesn't move like most peoples. hehe, just kiddin, there have been some very good points made in this thread. Midbass is so hard to achieve in the car for many reasons. One is the enclosure problem. If we could drop a two cubic foot enclosure in the leg area of each front seat it would be no problem getting adequate midbass out of a 6.5 or 5.25 driver in the car. But for most people, the partially sealed heavily dampened inside of a door panel will have to do. Cabin gain helps out some, but has less of an impact the higher frequency you go. Not to mention that makes the drivers almost playing in free air, so their excursion goes kinda wild under the drivers resonant frequency. The fact that it is hard to come by is why it is always mentioned in reviews. You can't just ignore the 65-120hz frequency range or 80-120 whatever you want to consider your midbass area. And with the subwoofers playing in that band it is pretty easy to localize them as coming from behind you, not to mention a lot of subwoofers frequency response in this area is less than desireable, or they just sound like crap playing at 120hz at the same time they are trying to belt out a 35hz thud. It is almost impossible to find a 10"-15" that will play 25-30hz at an acceptable level and still be able to play up to 120 and sound good, let alone play as loud as most people play their car stereos.
