so my setup will be as follows

pioneer deh-80prs

t1500.1bdcp

2 t2d415

t400.4

2 punch pro tweets

2 punch pro mids

my question has to do with the rockford punch pro mids. my question is to which one would be better to use. the 6" has a freq response of 85hz - 5khz while the 8" has a freq response of 80hz-5khz.

would it be worth it to get the 8" for the simple factor that the freq response is 80hz - 5k hz compared to the 85hz -5khz? i mean its only a 5hz difference between the 2 speakers at the bottom end of the freq range. would 5hz really make a difference? im not going for sq but would like 2 know which of the 2 speakers give me the better sq?

singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

im going to go out on a limb here and say, for the price difference(which im unsure of) its probably not worth the 5hz, because your subwoofer range will pick that up and play it

In my area there is no price difference between the two sizes, and wouldn't the powers not be as loud because they are not as pro audio based?

There the higher sereis than the punch and its a 6.75 speaker not 6.5.

If you haven´t the punch speakers why not goin power-series http://www.onlinecar...te_T1675-S.aspx

im not going for sq just loud, the t1 would be nicer as far as sq but as not as loud. i was just trying to figure out if an extra 5hz in the freq response would be worth doing the 8" mid. if i decide i want more sq then i will just put the punch pro mid in the rear doors to try and gain some depth to the system and get a t2 6.5 comp set.

here is what i have figured out so far, the 6" is said to have tighter midbass then the 8 but that the 8 could be louder do to more cone area and have that slight difference in freq response but mostly likely not noticeable to the ear.

im going with the 6" because of the smaller size for easier fitment on the door panel and the tighter midbass.

a good friend of mine works at a local shop and have heard the punch pro 6" and 8" in person when rockford first released them. he is the general manager and deals with a lot of the reps for the products they carry so 2-4 times a year he goes on trips so he was able to hear them at a rockford booth.

Well, if you want mid bass and you have the depth, and you are going to spend $65 - $70, why not just get the p2 8"?

ease of fitment, the 6 would be much easier to work with. the punch pro 8 would still have fit but a p2 8 wouldnt.
