Kinda curious as to why you have both sets in the car. Is one playing more of a midbass for you and the other one midrange? If you were doing an install and had to pick one over the other which one regardless of price (looking to use them for midbass crossed from 60/80hz up to 1500 hz or higher). Thanks

They both share the same signal, but are in different air space. I was suprised how well they sounded together. They are crossed at 67hz and up on the hu.

The mli is in the lower pocket of the door panel sealed off from the AA. The AA is in the stock location useing the rest of the door. I was just playing around one day and suprised myself.

What is the RTMS section out of curiosity?

Not sure but maybe read the manufactures section :shrug:

I love the MLis. I wouldn't suggest them in a 2-way, but they are superb midbass drivers and can also serve sub duty if need be. I had mine mounted in the door sealed and they rolled off around 2.2K last time I RTA'd it. Could have just been the application though. I just let them run wide open on the top and crossed my B&Gs at 2K.

I agree they are nice little midbass drivers. I was suprised my self at how they sounded with the AAs. Maybe I got lucky not sure.

Kinda curious as to why you wouldnt run them in a 2-way setup.

They fall apart in the mids. Fine for many, but I like transparent voicing in the midrange and that wouldn't be their strength. Super hard to match them with a tweet that is worth a shit without going large format too. Sure the Seas is fine, the Scan-speak stellar, but I'd make my compromises elsewhere setting up a 2 way. Midbass though they are machines at.

I love a great midrange and dont want to lose that. I have been thinking of running them with some horns and try to tame them as much as possible. Do you think the AA 7" Carbon Fiber Mids would be good in a 2-way system with a tweet or would it be along the same lines (the make-up of the AA makes it look possible)?
