Just wondering, I am running a mid 90's RF 160x4 4 channel amp. 40x4 rms? My four front coaxials are running in 8 ohm stereo(series wired) with the gain quite low, they get fairly loud and clean. The third channel runs at 2 ohms to my RE8 in a sealed box up front, the 4th channel is also at 2 ohms to my last RE8 in a 1.1 cube ported box in the back(BTW this ported box slays on the low notes for the RE8's, in case anyone was wondering!). I get decent bass up front, but I would like a tighter sound, and would like a bit more volume out of the front and back sub. Thinking of going to a separate monoblock sub amp, 300-400 watts, then run the two 8's off of that. Is it likely that a separate class d amp, designed to run subs, would make a big improvement in sound? Thanks.....

Check out the post in the SQ forum....

Cool thanks!

IMO you really need to add a set of midbass dude. That will bring in the 'tight'

Even with an eight up front between the seats? I would love to squeeze in some 6's in the doors, for sure. Or kicks maybe.....

"...I get decent bass up front, but I would like a tighter sound, and would like a bit more volume out of the front and back sub..."

When I read or hear that it is 'classic' lack of midbass.

Sure you have an 8 up front - how high does it play? 80hz? You gotta know those 4x6s are doing zip under 400hz or so and the 3.5s even higher.

My opinion is you need a good set of midbass. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Cool thanks DUKK. Yep, 80hz LP on the subs, the 4x6's and 3.5's run from 120hz and up, off the deck's crossover. Thanks!

Thinking of these Kicker RMB-6's, anyone have experiences with them? http://www.audioconnection.com/images/rmb6.jpg

Hey guys!

I have the exact same problem... 3 1/2" in the front, 6x9's in the back , complete lack of the all important MIDBASS!

I cant afford the $500 for the kicks, and my doors are not very speaker friendly.

Do you guys think putting some 5.5" - 6.5" midbases in the rear deck a good idea, untill i can figure out something with custom door pods???
I know this will pull my stage more to the rear, but isn't it better than no midbass at all???

thx
dave

It's always to try keep the midbass as front as possible. What sort of car do you drive?
