Help me pick out tweeters and mid woofers

So I've done most of the work. These are my selections.

They will be run by my b2 class H Quattro( 100x4 at 4ohms ) active on my 80prs.

I'd also like to add to the mix the Hertz ht28 tweeters. I do not have any "mainstream woofer" choices though. The rest of my choices can be found in these links.

I will have the tweeters high in each door (where I have my Polk mm tweeters now) and the mids in the stock locations (don't get it twisted, there is a nice birch wooden baffle PL'd to my door with the F.A.S.T speaker rings installed aswell, on top of that all proper sealing off is done)

They are listed in least expensive to most. Not order in which I want them. Any help is appreciated.

I have HT28s, and got them like 2 1/2yrs ago. Over this summer, I sold most of my front stage (amp and mids).. But decided to keep my tweets. No coincidence there. I was throwing ~120wrms at them and cross them over with a 3khz HPF. They were harsh at all with all that power playing that low. Sure, they were attenuated, but I guess that goes to show efficiency.

Now, I have 4 Pro audio mids, and still the tweets. When I had my old amp, I threw on the 4 Nendo mids on ~180wrms per side, and the Hertz tweets on ~120/speaker. I increased their HPF to ~5khz. With the tweeters STILL attenuated, they kept up and sounded like sexx. These tweets are no joke.

Now, I have an amp that does 100x4 @12v and 150@4 at 14.4v all at 4 ohms. Im curious to see how this goes.

Do you remember the AA mids? Well, Ascendant Audio had a component set option.. and these were the tweets that came in it. They're ranted and raved about.. http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/auto-tweeters/seas-prestige-27tffnc/g-h1396-1-textile-dome-tweeter/

Cool. Well any thoughts on mids?

Interests are, as loud and midbass filled as I can get from a single mid woofer set in the ideal stock location (no custom pods, no double mid per door)

For me, I like to choose my mid first based on its capabilities, then choose the tweeter to match. Unless you know you like the sound of a specific tweeter. Reason for this, is that your substage is already there, so you will need a mid to pick up where that leaves off. That driver will then fall off somewhere in the midrange, and you'll want to try to get it at 2k or above, because you're limiting yourself on tweeter selection if you have a mid that's unusable above 2k and need a tweeter to cover from there up. I guess that's kinda hypocritical, because I'm crossed at 2k lol. But, my point is that there are a lot less options.

Remember, rule of thumb is that you want to cross your tweeter at no less than double the Fs at or near RMS power. Just a rule of thumb, and has a little wiggle room, mostly dependent on power level.

"Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

Budget is... Well... What ever it has to be at this point.

I've done just about all the prep work and mods I can do besides fiberglassing my A pillars or door panels. Not sure why I'm against doing it. But I'm 100% about keeping a single set of tweeters in my doors the way they are.

As far as the mid, most of those mids I picked out could play into the 3k range.

And the ht28 along with a couple other tweeters I picked could play into the 2k range.

So for ease of everything. Let's say my tweeters are ht28's and they will be crossed over at like 2.5k to 3k on less then 100 watts (-0db on the dd1 and turned down to my liking) . So what mid should I go with that's 6.75 to 6.5 .. And can play up to 3k and down as low as possible with great midbass. When I say low as possible. I'm shooting for strong midbass down to about 60hz since that's where my subs take over (71 hz cross over) and the mids will get my full 100 rms at -5db overlap.

Don't suppose you have any room for a 4" driver (midrange) and a 8" midbass driver.

Just seems like for what you are wanting, this would suit your needs better.
