A well made and well sealed speaker pod, box, whatever mounted in the door makes all the difference. Usually as large airspace as will fit. Of couse the speaker does play a part in it, a 6.5" or larger is what you really need for good results. |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 496 Registered: Dec-08 | i was thinkin about the RD mid bass, door room is limited though. I could pick up a 2 pairs of those mpyre 6.5s for the pice of 2 RD audio midbass. could i just put 2 6.5s in the door and seal the holes up with dynamat? should i run the amp on low, full, or high pass? if a sealed box is the way to go i'll do that, should i make a box for a pair in each door or 4 seprate boxes? whit kinda specs should i be looking at? |
Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 10180 Registered: Jul-06 | Don't try use dynamat to make an enclosure, make a proper one. Use one set of speakers, if space is limited you won't have the airspace for 2 and that will give you worse performance. Yes a sealed box or pod is what you want. You will need TWO filters for the midbass speakers, a low pass and a high pass. Amps don't have that built in so you'd need an active crossover. |

Post Number: 6643 Registered: Feb-06 | if you have the room, you could do a pair in each door. build nice pods, or have a shop do it for you. imo don't do boxes, looks cheap and tacky. also, if going with those mpyre mids, they come with a crossover. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=382704&highlight=mpyre |

Post Number: 2847 Registered: May-07 | agreed about the looks of the little boxes on doors, but some of the best sounding midbass that I have heard were is the lil MDF mini boxes. believe it or not, but cadence(who I am not a fan of) have some comp sets that put out great midbass for the buck... trust me |
Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 497 Registered: Dec-08 | looks like what i'll have to do is cut part of the door panel to make room. I'll just have someone make a nice lil pod for them. I think I'll run 2 pairs of those mpyre mids but that's a lil more power than i'd like to run for mids lol. thanks guys I'll let you know what decide. |

Silver Member Username: Armykyle1Ms Us Post Number: 498 Registered: Dec-08 | how am I not gonna have the airspace? my door panel sticks out like 3". How mach would the need? like .2? |
Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 10195 Registered: Jul-06 | For a set of mids sealed usually as much space as you have works the best. About 0.3 cuft net is usually ideal if possible. |
