I have been thinking about adding an 8" woofer on my rear deck to add some midbass. I like this idea because right now I have 2 sets of mbquart psc210's and two compvr 15's so the jump from 4 inches to fifteen definately leaves me a little lacking. my question is, does anyone know of some good midbass drivers that I might look into?I figure can put in 1 or 2 as iwill be replacing my 2 channle mid nd high amp with either a five or six channel. they will have to live on my rear deck which is a little far from me I know, but there is little I can do elsewhere in my whip and really want something. any suggestions please?

Focal, MB Quart, DLS, Revelators (7") all make excellent 8 inch driver for midbass

do you know anything about the new kicker ssmb8's they seem to be pretty nice. I decided to go with a shallow box on the rear deck rather than mount through it. these mid bass speakers seem to require little or no enclosure so with like .8 ft^3 they should do really well?

.8 ft^3 is a lot... thats enough for most 10" subs!

If you like kicker:

I'd suggest the koda 8, awesome driver, only need .5^3 enclosure

I have the RMB 8 Kickers. They do the job adequately but I'm saving up for either Dyn's or (fingers crossed) Revelators. You'll want to put some decent power on the Kickers, though.

does anyone know anything about the kicker ssmb's? also are those kodas 79 a pair or per driver?

 

[97avalonxls]

stealth, I know .8 is a lot, that is not necessarily how much I'd use, just how much room I could use to fabricate the box. Iwould custom design it to accomodate the specific needs ofthe drivers

 

[eddiem67]

79 each

I have a pair of 8" kicker mid-bass's in my rear deck. I've honestly never heard any others, but I like them. Gives nice output to go with my Infinity kappa set up front, and kicker 10" L7's in back.

Now I just need a good set of 3 1/4" speakers. Hah! Like they make those.

do you have the r or ss series midbass?

 

[jeremy89]

R or ss series

ok, so the latest itteration of my midbass solution is as follows. replace my bum phoenix gold 2 channel and get the directed 6550 6 channel, keep the same 50 watts going to each of my mb quarts and then bridge the 5and 6 channels and run two koda 8's in series giving them each the full 150 watts from the 5/6 channels. any suggestions?

I had a pair of the Rmb8's but I never got to listen to them before they were stolen. The insurance company replaced them with the SSMB8's but I haven't installed them yet. I should have them in sometime in the next few weeks. I'll let you know how they sound.

i'd definately appriciate that dave. nice score as well, I love it when an unfortunate occurance leads to good things. I definately won't be making any purchases for a while anyway, I have to save up for what ever 8 I get and the amp. also, how much power are you sending going to send to each?

I got my two amps, my sub, and midbass as newer and better models. The stereo kinda sucked but oh well. It's good enough for me.
