8 for midbass

[gizmo1]

I want to put a 8" up front for some mid bass. Either a single 8 in a fiberglass pod/console or 2 8s right behind the front seats. In a suv. So I'm wandering if either of these would sound good. Would it complement the subs in the rear cargo area or just sound like ass.

Also any suggestions on small 8" subs that don't require a lot of airspace and preferably don't require a lot of power.

I can't find the longer thread. But there are some really well done doors running RF P2 8's. And I am also running P2 8's for that same purpose
There are a couple of builds here with RF p3 8's in doors also

I have the beyma 8g40s and they sound pretty nice.

Ton of punch out of them.

Yea had my eyes on those p2 8s can they be run as a free air subs in door applications or do they need to be enclosed. I wouldn't mind running them in my doors either.

Now I'm just wandering how it would sound better. In the doors a single one in a fiberglass pod up front or a couple of them in an enclosure between front and back seats.

The beymas are a little out of my price range want to keep to something under 80 bucks each.

Mclarens would be in your price range

midbass is a directional sound so from other threads i have read they need to be in a not mono, front stage configuration hence why people dont just throw out rear doors and put 8" drivers in those .... im sure as this thread goes on more people will touch on this subject..... I think anything above 100hz you can tell where its coming from and it throws off staging

I mean if you had 250-300 watts on a pair of beymas Im sure you can hear them over anything you have at 95db sensitivity. I think Galen Winsette only uses 2 8's for his 160 db set up.

The doors would be ideal if you could fit them. Kick panels can work but take more effort to get enough air space. I have also heard of people building enclosures to fit under the dash on each side. Mid bass in a center console will kill the stereo image.

[gizmo1]

Ok I don't mind putting them in my doors at all. Saving the kick space for components.

When using an 8 in door configuration how is the door sealed off just with deadners? Or would it be better to make a sealed fiberglass pod that attaches to the door.
