Midbass drivers

dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 360 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:26 GMT ok now does a midbass driver put out sound or like just subwoofer frequencies?
M.S. Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18 Post Number: 394 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:30 GMT Midbass can be anything from 80 to 500 hz depending on how your X-overs are set. Midbass drives are mounted up front sice the sound they produce is more directional than bass.

dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 361 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:33 GMT yes i know they are up front but, do they play music like a midrange? or just bass?

M.S. Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18 Post Number: 399 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:35 GMT subs play bass, mids play midbass and midrange, tweeters play the highs...

dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 362 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:39 GMT ok what are some good midbass drivers. i want to add some to my front speakers. i got 5 and 1/4 inch speakers in the front so i want at least 6.5" for the midbass i guess...?
Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind Www.15inchwangers.comFI Audio BTL Post Number: 10447 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:40 GMT like M.S. said, you want the mid bass up front. anything above 70hz would sound much better coming from the front. ex....look at the 3 way comp sets. it comes with mid bass, mid, and high. you don't install the mid bass in the rear.

Post Number: 3855 Registered: Feb-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:43 GMT a midbass its considering a small t0 mid subwoofer that their main range of frequesnsys are from 100hz-400hz or so somtimes x overs tend to let the midbass handle the 600hz frequensis but are its not good to runthose frequensisi on drivers like that.
M.S. Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18 Post Number: 402 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:44 GMT This time Chad nailed it. Except that I have heard of better results using 8" subs up front as midbass drivers, with 2 way component sets.
dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 364 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:45 GMT yes but i have a six way crossover that i want to use for the front speakers. i know the midbass goes up front. i got the place picked out for them. and i do not want to buy 3 way comps because i love me speakers now. and they are rare. i just want to add some more "something" up front.
BeN Silver Member Username: Mgbcs Lincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 403 Registered: Dec-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:46 GMT OK...I think Killa was talking about putting some 8s in the back for extra midbass punch so I was just curious.
dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 366 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:51 GMT any1 recamend any midbass drivers. not over 300...?

dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 368 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 02:57 GMT could i use one 8" driver for the mid bass or would i need 2?
Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind Www.15inchwangers.comFI Audio BTL Post Number: 10453 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 03:00 GMT if you are gonna use a 8inch sub for mid bass up front, all i gotta say is deaden the sh!t out of the location where you are going to mount it. if you can get your hands on a jl audio 8w3 it would work. my friend has a pair of those subs and it sounds good with upper bass frequencies.
M.S. Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18 Post Number: 406 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 03:01 GMT You would need 2, one for each side. Stereo. But unless you have A LOT of space in your front doors or somewhere, 8s ain't gonna work real well... The installations I have seen done that way were highly custom jobs with lots of custom fabrication...
dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 369 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 03:04 GMT what if i put 1 8" right between the seats on the floor in a sealed box.
dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 370 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 03:04 GMT and i was thinking of the soundsplinter rli8
M.S. Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18 Post Number: 408 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 03:12 GMT That wouldn't sound good if it's being used for midbass. The higher the frequency, the more directional it is. Having a mono midbass in the center and stereo components to the sides would completely screw up the stereo imaging...

dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 371 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 03:16 GMT aighit i had a back-up plan. get 2 and put them on the opposite side where those kick panels go, in the center of the car.
dan rollins Silver Member Username: Dannyboyy Peterborough, NH USA Post Number: 372 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 03:17 GMT ya i was thinking about them too because they are cheap. and aa is a good brand.
M.S. Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18 Post Number: 415 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 - 03:33 GMT Well if you're gonna use 6.5s all you need is a 6.5" component set...
