hey, just kind of curious.. is there a difference between midrange and midbass? if you were to say that you have a component set and part of the set is a 6.5" "mid"... what is this classified as, a midrange speaker or a midbass speaker.. or are they the same?

just something i was curious about. always refered to my mids as "mids" without actually knowing the difference. thanks!

 

someoen correct me if im wrogn but usualy midbass is 80-200 htrz and mid range is 200 hrtz to 3 ish k ??d

 

ok cool. yeah i was just reading up on the manual for my components (Rockford Fanatic X's from the 2000 product line) and the freq response says 50Hz - 5kHz, i assume that is in the perfect conditions though. i wouldnt expect my mids to actually play at 50Hz. was just curious what to call these 6.5" "mids". just plain old midranges, lol.

thanks for the reply

 

calling those mids is right. A midbass is used just for midbass and usually pounds more compared to a mid/midbass speaker. I find using a midbass up front along with mid/tweet(3way) to be much more satisfying than just a 2 way system. If you try a 3 way system you'll love it!

 

mmmm yea maybe further along down the road.. heh. i need an amp to power my lil 2-way system for now. only running them off the deck, i never amped them before but they say i should.

however i think i will be bashed alot if i hook them up my 150RMS Jensen 2channel? lol. what do yas think.

thanks!

 

That should be just fine for a set of components.

 

yeah should do the trick for now eh? its not top of the line by any means but i'm sure if i keep the gains set right i can keep the distortion down to as minimum as possible with the circumstances.

 

its an old XA-3022LX. first amp i ever bought.. about 6 years ago. 70X2 RMS should be ok for the time being.
