what are some good 8" mids (non pro audio)

Assuming you mean the Crescendo MP8's pretty much anything will sound better and get louder. Those mids aren't very impressive at all. I installed 8 in the doors of a Burban for a guy and was highly disappointed.

What are you running for tweeters?

Dayton and Silver Flute come to mind.

for midbass or 8" sub? cuz I just got an 8" alpine type r and it sounds phenomenal

Well... it says "mids" in the thread title. I assume he means midbass. You reckon?

And no, the Daytons and SF's aren't PA.

Is the OP asking about a true mid or a midbass. There are a ton of very good midbass that we can point you to. If you are looking for a true 8" mid that gets tougher. They are some home audio stuff you can try, but I would ask why you are thing to get an 8" to do mid duties? Ive heard a couple of PA system speakers and wasnt impressed at all. They were loud, which is what the users I heard them in wanted. They didnt sound good at all.

If you can find a used set of Hybrid L8's, the first version, I think you will be extremely impressed. When HAT first came out, I didn't want to drink the Kool Aid, but once I gave them a try, I found that they are definitely worth a listen. You can find used pairs for $200 shipped occasionally.

Hard to beat for the price vs. performance
