[QUOTE="sooperxtool, post: 7424212, member: 628069"] Ok, so I've been trying to narrow down some mids for my setup. Didn't really want to start a new thread... I guess I'll give all the info so hopefully I'll get the best answers without questions about it. This is going in a single cab Ranger btw... What I have is a set of Rockford Punch 6.5 comps. I also bought a set of Q-form kicks (never fiberglassed, and didn't feel comfortable just going at it). The plan is to deaden the doors properly, seal the big holes with plexi, and do the foam behind the speaker mounts as shown in the sticky about deadening doors. The 6.5s will go in there. As far as the kicks- I plan on mounting the tweets, and whatever midranges I decide on in them. I plan on using a layer or two of deadening material on them and behind them, and maybe a bit of the foam material to prevent picking up reflections from behind the kicks? Since I will have dedicated midbass in the door, and I won't need any bass from the midranges, will this work well enough? Seems that from what I understand it isn't as important to seal up a speaker if bass is not what you are seeking from it, correct? One more question... is it possible to run a 8 ohm speaker off of a car amp that is rated for 4 ohm? Is there a way to wire the speaker so it looks like a 4 ohm to the amp? Is it even an issue? So with that said, help me pick out some midrange drivers! I don't have a strict budget, but I don't want to spend a fortune, and from what I understand, I could have some good options from Parts-Express. Here's what I found: Dayton RS100-4 [URL="http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-378"]Dayton Audio RS100-4 4" Reference Full-Range Driver 4 Ohm[/URL] Dayton ND105-4 [URL="http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=290-212"]Dayton Audio ND105-4 4" Aluminum Cone Midbass Driver 4 Ohm[/URL] Peerless [URL="http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=299-278"]Peerless 832444 4-1/2" Shielded Midbass Driver 4 Ohm[/URL] Any other recommendations??
