Midrange!

[hmmm... 0]

yeah i know this i the SI subforum but since i own a magnum and want to mae my whole system sound great with the magnum i figured id give this A SHOT.

im getting ready to slowly upgrade to a 3-way diy setup. i got midbass and tweets and i wanna make midbass in 2-way setup just the lows like 80-500 and then get a very nice midrange . partly becuase i wnana amke my kickpannels smaller and get a driver with nice off axis responce.

my limit is around 50 per speaker and i want 4-5.5 inch

through other forums ive limited down to these 2 but they arent helping me much decide which of these 2 i should get.

AUDAX HM100C0 4" CARBON FIBER WOOFER

im really not expecting low end from these as i said, but i would like to get somehting that responds nicly up to a go0d 5k or so so i can cross my tweeter high to minimize distortion at high volumes, my tweeter is lpg26na.

in my opinion midrange is very very important to how a system sounds so i just want extreemly nice midrange.

anyone have opinions on these 2 midranges??

Well..first off...I'd cross your midbass more around 250ish...and with either of those Vifa's mating with those LPG's...I'd cross at 3-3.5k and let the tweets pick up the rest. Do a search on ECA for the LPG tweets...I believe a lot of people are crossing them at 3.5k.

What midbass are you using?

wel after lots of thought and research im gunna grab maxfidelity tweets, and the via p13 midrange. i got perless csc-x 6.5 for midbass but i might swap my bro for his vifa MG's ( 7 inch) for midbass.

whats the difference between crossing midbass at 250 rather than around 500 for midbass?

i wanna keep those midranges at around 250 lowest t think. i heard bass output isnt very good on them. so higher cross midbass prob the better. i duno ill find out when i get them

Smart move on the Max Fidelity Tweets...mine come in tomorrow

Just play around with the XO's...use some of those FR graphs for guidance..but don't depend on them too much..they don't represent too much in car...
