Let's Seperate Myth From Fact....

i have my doors crossed significantly lower than 150hz and i have never had an issue with any buzzing or rattling.
where else would you have a driver playing 150hz? anything near the rear will really draw attention to it at that frecuency. and next to nothing on the dash will be able to play that low with authority.

There comes a point where the sheer sound pressure masks the resonances.
Also what dynamat does is lower the resonant frequency of the panels so it becomes masked by the bass. Clever isnt it... Doesnt actually solve your problem which contributes to distortion none-the-less.
To the post above... do you ever turn the volume past 1?

...all that being said I am planning a dual 8" midbass setup in the front, in small sealed enclosures.

Dynamat or equivalent is a good part of any SQ oriented system, it is a tool in the tool box

Recording studios use styrafoam because it actually turns the acoustical engergy into heat.
Last I checked Dynamat wasnt Cornings 70_.
Studios need the destructive room treatments because they need to be able to hear just the music and the mix and nothing else. Not even the speakers can compromise the mix.
But sadly theres still the loudness war somehow...
Real IB = 4 x Vas and a perfect seal.
Its difficult to get either in a car and as such, no one has a real IB and thus has phase issues and defeats the purpose of the IB in the first place.
Using the door as an IB? thats impossible. Unless of course you're mounting say a 2" widerange driver in your door. See above ratio of 4 x Vas. And thats just the minimum of whats considered "worth it" a TRUE IB is 10 x Vas of all the drivers using the enclosure.
Dual 8's as long as they have at least 10 mm of Xmax would make for an excellent midbass solution.

i can have significant volume and not have rattles.
sorry but in my opinion, if your install is such that it "WILL sound bad below 150hz" you are doing something wrong.
masking or not, without dampening=rattles, with=none...i choose with.
if you are talking about just throwing drivers into a stock door sure. but after a decent install, it shouldn't be that that hard to achieve:P

so far your acoustic comments are inaccurate... I am not commenting on other items just the acoustic knowledge
#160
huh?
you stated that anytime you play anything under 150 in a door, it WILL sound bad.
i simply disagree with that statement.
what is the myth up for debate right now anyways? is it me or has it been lost in translation? lol
