4" and 4x6

[blakflash 1]

is there such a thing as 4" or 4x6 drivers that can handle midbass or are these things just not meant to play it? If so who makes one?

For midbass you'll want a larger cone.

i figured as much...wish gm would go with 6.5s and 8s i got stuck with 4, 4x6, 6x9. the only good thing they did was make the 4x6 a component set but the damn things still have almost no midbass. anyone know of where i can find 4x6 to 6.5 adapters??

It's be easy to make some, scrap wood FTW.

[dvalue 17]

Make some. Shouldn't be too hard.

don't have the right tools for it :S. still working on that lol and my woodworking skills sub par at best.

you just really need a jigsaw or a router.If not possible you can probably find some online.

Ebay!

I don't have the skills for that. if it were flat opening i could probably do it but then id probably have to cut into the door as well

Anything you find on the internet as an adapter is going to be cheap flexible plastic, which you DO NOT want. If you can't make them, you're going to have to find someone that can..

[stevemead08 752]

I agree mdf would be better. i do not agree with the adapters being crap. i have never seen one break or "flex" for an everyday application they are just fine.

Where you at Blak? There's lots of people on the forum, surely there would be someone fairly close to you with the tools and skillz to help you out.

mr clarksville tn. i may not have a choice in the matter of getting one made. noone makes them. i even searched for kicks nothing on that either. i was looking around and comparing charts of 4" and 6.5" woofers last night... all night to be exact lol. mostly peerless, tang bang, and dayton. they are very close to each other I know the 6.5 go lower but i'm only looking to enhance from i would say the 90-200 range. I'm curious about something though I was running test tones to determine the freqs that were without changing the crossovers and eqs. running from 70-150 to the ear everything sounds even and get fairly loud (neighbors came outside wondering what the sound was. Guess they are used to other peoples sub abuse) . switching over to music the midbass is still barely noticeable. My hu can boost 100 hz and 200 hz but that causes distortion when i get it to reasonable level.... btw in case anyone is wondering i got the id ctx 4" in the dash and stock "components" in the doors. I'm begginning to think its the HU thats not in aggreeance with me the more i think about it. the stock one had more midbass than i do now with and without the amp. tbh i would like it if someone here lived near me this is actually a problem I've had for years when upgrading. losing the midbass. My idmaxes can play that range.. with pride at that. but for some reasons doing it that way doesn't sit right with me. I guess since it's a car. My suv with my bm's it wasn't a problem... for those of you that listen to rap music. listen to the song i'm going in by drake. the part that is lacking to me is he high end bass lines that are in :55-1:30

It's not hard to cut a hole

think i'm going to try these out for the time being

Dayton ND105-4 4" Aluminum Cone Midbass Driver 4 Ohm | Dayton Audio ND105-4 Aluminum Cone 4" driver Full Range Driver mid bass extended range line array monitor point source aura Neo-Sym last_chance_save_green | Parts-Express.com

if that doesn't work out. I think i'm going to move my dash speakers to the doors and get some 6" midbasses for the dash

good idea or bad idea?
