i have 2 focal 5" utopia subs running 150rms each as a sub in my kick panels. they could use a little more airspace but they sound good. i wouldnt use them in place of a mid-bass tho. i would only use them to add to it.

a 6' sub is pretty large, i wouldnt recommend it for a midbass....but maybe a subwoofer

obviously you are trying to be funny. but i think everybody knows he means 6" sub.

Who makes 6" mid-range drivers? I think a single 8" in a small sealed enclosure might do the trick. Does Fosgate make 8's anymore?

k. the question he was asking, was instead of using a MIDBASS, if he could use a small subwoofer instead.

as in, put them in the doors where the woofer of a 2 way components set would go.

i believe one of the most common driver sizes for a midrange woofer would be 6".....

I was thinking that most 6" drivers are full-range, as opposed to mid-range... Yep, I screwed that up, didn't I? I understood what he was asking, guess I'm kinda iffy on the terminology. I'm still a newb.

Does anyone make a "meaty" full-range driver that can handle low frequencies, similarly to how a mid-bass driver can handle them?

What if he were to mount mid-bass drivers in the doors, but keep something like a 4" full-range and a tweeter mounted up on the dash?

That way he wouldn't be losing any upper-mid frequencies that the mid-bass driver isn't designed to play.

then he's stepping up to a 3-way setup. there arent really any "full-range drivers" just co-axial speakers, which would include a midrange woofer and a tweeter in the co-axial. if your going to put a mid-bass in the door and have another dedicated mid-range on the dash then u might have to change the phase of the mid-bass to blend the sound better.

a "meaty" mid-range woofer that can put out with the best of them would be the jbl gti series. i've always liked them. but they are not full range, they are a 2 way component set.

TragicMagic Mar 20, 2009 07:31 PM

So full-range really refers to a mid-range woofer with the co-axial tweeter...

Mid-bass and mid-range are not going to be the same driver, are they. Mid-bass is between a subwoofer and a mid-range driver...?

And you're saying that a good mid-range driver capable of handling some mid-bass duties would be the JBL GTi series components. I'm catching up. lol

it changes depending what your talking about. if your talking about a 3 way setup, then u have tweeter, mid-range, mid-bass. the mid-bass in this case would only play low tones, say 50hz - 500hz. the mid-range would take over from there up to the tweeter. if u have a 2 way system, the mid-range is going to play from 50hz to say.....2000hz, then the tweeter would go on from there.

i feel that the term mid-bass denotes no real mid-range usage. and that mid-range denotes reproducing most of the sound.
