Obviously you aren't concerned with how good they sound so what is it that you want to know?

If your looking at them you minus well stick with Eminence or step your game up and look at some Oxygen O2 Audio (I have one that makes an Eminence its bitch), Beyma, or B&C Speakers but I prefer Oxygen Audio since their build quality is the best out of all of them. Where are you located?

If your looking for loud, your gonna pay any where from 100 on up for a single midrange speaker trust me I been in the market looking at pro audio speakers for the last two years. Honestly your best bet is just to scrap the idea and get some Image Dynamic Horns, these will rip your head off and you only need a pair and they will be louder than how many ever speakers you plan on putting in your car. But if I do have some Eminence's and 1 O2 Audio speaker for (bought in Florida while at school for 150 for a single speaker, shits on an Eminence). Just to let you know that pro audio stuff gets expensive.

curious to what the model of the o2 speaker is and where can I see specs of it? How would it compare to the mli65s? I would pay that kind of money if it were a great midrange speaker.

You cant compare the two speakers at all, the Mach 5 Audio is a midbass speaker and thats it. The O2 Audio speaker is a midrange speaker and that is it, they are made for two different goals in mind.

Oxygen Audio USA Power Neodymium Mid-Ranges: OM-605ND-4, OM-605ND PRO, OM-6906ND, OM-509ND, OM-609ND-4, OM-809ND-4

I have the first one on the picture at top. They do make a midbass speaker though, it doesnt get as low as the Mach 5 Audio.

Ok I got you, check out these speakers if you want some good midrange speakers. I was gonna get them before I got these horns but decided to go with some horns this route since I have had the 20+ plus speakers in a Saturn Ion, you talking about a nice advertisement vehicle while being in school. Since that is the trend in Florida, I did a good amount of installs because of my setup.

Ok I see well that makes sense I guess.

Is this a dumb question what do people usually use to have a 2-way active system? midrange + tweeter or midbass + tweeter. Hopefully this is a good question for the thread. Those midranges o2s look so sexy. I want!

Midbass's typically imply that they can't play into the midrange. High frequency to a midbass is usually 500Hz. Tweeters on the other hand rarely are effective much below 1500Hz. Therefore with only two drivers you normally look for a woofer that can play both the midrange frequencies and the midbass frequencies.

*yes of course there are tons of exceptions that go beyond the limits I used for frequency and by no means are those numbers anywhere near stone
