Midbass -----Metal

[y_d0c 0]

I started a topic about this awhile back and started to get some input about midbass drivers, but that thread died.

I listen to quite a bit of metal and need some real nice mid bass drivers......

no budget...

08 explorer 5x7 w/about 3.5 - 4in depth...

..i can do 8in drivers ....

any help would be appreciated...

Peerless SLS

Hybrid L8 if budget doesn't matter

hopefully your looking into an active set up, but do you intend to do a 2 way front stage or a 3 way front stage?

What ever driver you choose, deadening and sealing the doors plays a crucial role in strong midbass

This is what ive been told....besides dyna/second skin or whatever im gonna use, do you have any other suggestions for sealant

use sheet metal, mdf, acrylic plastic , or hardboard to cover the large holes. I either use silicone caulking or shoe goo ( they make a stronger automotive version of it now ) to attach. Then deaden over top of that. I also tend to do a layer of ensolite ( or some other gasketing foam ) between the door panel and the door it's self. Not so much for sealing as much as for rattle reduction

2 way? Going to be MUCH harder getting that impacting midbass.

then im gonna have to go 3 way

I'm struggling with my choices. I really would like to go 3 way but it's nearly impossible with my situation currently. I need to find an answer to my quest for 2 way midbass myself. If I was going 3 way though, SLS.

What do you have for processing?? That will determine what you can use.

^^^is that to dem beats or myself??

[dem beats 1,223]

LOL

that's to you.

I have picked Seans brain over and over again. This thread is for you sir. I only chimed in to confirm that if you have an option go active, do it and go 3 way.

Much appreciated...

///M5 In the original thread that i started you had suggested something along the lines of a PPI DCX 730, so i decided to go with that,,,

[///M5 2,833]

You have the 730 already? Although that is only a 3 in 3 out so if you do a true "4 way" (sub included) you will either need to use the sub outs on your h/u or have a little crossover availability on your midbass/sub amps.

If you go 3 way up front, Neon gave you two stellar options. If you go 2 way it will be a different story.

Budget? Other drivers you want to use/need/space for? Amplification?

Oh, and the deadening comment wasn't a joke it is 1000% necessary.

not really any budget restrictions...as far as other drivers go, looking for suggestions so i can get some clear/good quality metal..

when i choose the drivers ill then most likely look for amps...

i didnt take the deadening as a joke

That site is your friend.

yesssssir

[ANeonRider 3]

Next question is, what processing, midrange & tweeters are you using?

[///M5 2,833]

I think the Peerless are currently out of stock though. Should be some used ones floating around.

3 way or 2 way will make the big difference now.
