which of these 3 mids will be loudest??
That is a loaded question. Do you already have amps to power them? How much power on tap? What badwith do you want them to cover?
The things you need to look at are efficiency, XMAX, and size. A higher efficiency speaker will be louder (3db difference equals double the power)....BUT they generally don't play as low and roll off sooner. A higher XMAX can generally take more power before it runs out of excursion...BUT the speaker will either need a large box (large door) or you will lose efficiency. A larger speaker will displace a greater volume of air and will therefore be louder...BUT it is usually harder to fit and can sometimes take more power to realize the full potential (it will still have the efficiency/enclosure size/XMAX trade-offs too).
