Advice on 6" PA's front doors.

[JohnHinerman 10]

Hey guys. Just trying to get some quick help. I have Eminence Alpha 6 4ohm drivers in my front doors. One is buzzy, and I want to replace the pair. I am torn between the Cresendo PDX-6 , or the Incriminator dpx-6.

They are running on an Alpine PDX 150/ch.

Is there another option I should be looking at? Or are those two options good?

Is one preferred over the other?

Thanks!

Are you running these IB or ported

They are IB

True PA really need to be ported or they'll sound like shit.

This ^^

You will be way better off going with a traditional mid, or if you really want the PA mids, fab a ported door pod. Otherwise you will never get them to sound the slightest bit musical. Loud and good are not synonymous.

There are many options you could go with instead, and for less

What would a good option for mids be then? The main reason I out the Eminence in was because one of the Image Dynamic speakers I had went bad. I was looking for something with a little more power handling and not too expensive.

I'm totally open to ideas

I have a single pair of SilverFlute 6.5's and have been very happy with them.

The good news is you couldn't do much worse.

Of course to figure out what better could be, it would REALLY help to know what the mounting space looks like, budget, and of course processing.
