Need some dedicated midbass suggestions for 3 ways! and other equi

Recommended Posts

been browsing some more known sites known for their technicality and knowledge instead of CA Forum Flame fests. i need some suggestions on which dedicated 7" midbass drivers work best in IB enclosures when installed in properly deadened doors. im looking to spend up to 250$ for the 2 drivers. and the size cant exceed 7", i plan on high passing the midbasses around 65hz - 70hz with a high 24 db slope. and playing them up to 300hz where my cdt hd 4" will take it from there. Will be feeding up to 125 - 130 watts at 4 ohms from a 100.2 sundown amp.

I need some driver suggestions but as of now, i hear the following are some respectable drivers.

AA Poly's

Adire Extremis

Peerless Exclusives

CDT M6

CDT ES 06

Im open to other suggestions..... and also open to suggestions on 3 way active xover headunits such as eclipse 7100, pioneer prs 880, kenwood 990 / 991, clarion dzx955 i believe, etc....

also does anyone no if a home audio digital coaxial signal cable will work as a mono rca cable to strap 2 sub amps through a bridge out and bridge in rca output and input?

thinking of buying the knukonceptz eks digital coaxial as my mono rca.

kicker's ssmb 6s. or rmb6 (jsut the older version of the ssmb) are excellent choices. i have a pair of the 8s waiting for a ride or a sale, lol.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

Out of those choices, I'd choose the Extremis.

Poly's simply don't have the displacement to keep up (and their much flatter response will go to waste with such a low Xover point anyway).

While the Peerless is an excellent driver, again, I'd rather use it in a two-way.

And CDT just doesn't compete.

I'm using 'digital coax' cables to run my monoblocks without any problems.

i heard adire was in the s*** hole a few months ago, not providing good support, problems with brahmas etc.... does this reflect them atm, and their production of extemis or has the design not changed for awhile?

also it states the extremis be put in a vented enclosure in door? do they work well ib? cant find there specs cause pdf file not working so cant find its qtc or any other parameters.

Mike-

another quick ?

when installing 4 amps and 2 of them have remote turn on leads. can i jump another remote turn on lead from the connection of the amps with a remote lead already installed to the newly installed amp without problems? or do i have to run 2 more remote turn on runs from headunit ignition harness wire?

The design hasn't changed, customer support definitely has.

If you can find a used pair, that'll be great.

do they work well ib?

They'll work fine IB, with a corresponding lower power handling.

With four amps, I'd really recommend using a Bosch-style relay to switch them. That's a lot of strain on the head unit's circuitry.

are you looking for a SQ setup? because just about any of those drivers (and about 80 others) will play to 65-70hz no problem.

i heard of the sls being good as well. but didnt find 6.5 or 7" link for the sls's. link would be appreciated.

And i no 65 - 70hz isnt crazy low but when i say that freq i mean sending all 115 - 125 watts all day long and not get f'ed up like my hd 6" drivers in my cdts at like 80 - 90 hz when i sending my 3 way comp passive set right now 300 ish per side.
