What is the lowest frequency the human ear can localize?

Humans cannot tell which direction low frequencies originated from.

What I'm trying to figure out is, would it be a good idea to put 8'' midbass drivers in my rear deck?

I have a 12'' lvl 4 dc running on 1000w, tuned to 32 hz. It plays from 30-80 hz.

Could I put 8'' midbass drivers in the rear deck, and cross them over at lets say 70-200 hz ?

Would that affect my sound staging?

Would that cause any cancellation?

I can seal the rear deck from the trunk with some MDF if it will prevent cancellation...

Then I'm going to put (in some custom front door kick pods) an 8'' midbass driver (probably playing around 40-500hz, a 4'' mid range playing 200-3000, and some tweets either in the dash facing the window or the A-pillar facing the window //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

what do you guys think?

fn awesome quesiton.. as i too have been curious about this for a 3 way as i don't have room for 8's up front anywhere...

although if you have plans to run 8" dedicated midbass in the front somehow already... why would you also need them in the back, just use nasty 8's and run plenty of power to them
