Sterling Frost Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hey guys and gals, I have enough bass to ruin my truck and plenty of highs, now I am looking for quality midbass. I’ve Never really focused on the mid range, and now I’m ready but I don’t know what’s the best type of speaker or woofer to use and I’m kinda limited to 6.5. Right now I have 4 CT sounds component Meso 6.5’s and I have room to add about 4 more. Once I figure out a configuration I will worry about powering them. I also need to know what is the best hertz range for mid bass? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack187Murder Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Welcome to the site. And do you mean mid range or mid bass because there's a difference between the two especially if your system is active or passive. If you want sound quality go focal, morel, rainbow, hertz Millie line If you want SPL I can't help you there as I have never bought a midrange driver for SPL. If you want quality midbass you'll want to sound dampening and to seal your doors. Unless you have kick panels. Are you competing? Do you need 8x mid range drivers?? You really haven't given much in terms of experience or background. Or your vehicles equipment list which is going to make it a little harder for people to help you. Also try doing a bit of research on your own so you have a better idea of what your asking. I found this in 2 seconds on google. Tells you exactly what frequency for what range. https://www.teachmeaudio.com/mixing/techniques/audio-spectrum/ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Frost Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thanks for the welcome but I’ve been here for 4 years. Been a basshead since the 90’s but I just never valued midrange until now. I’ve done plenty of research but nothing beats firsthand knowledge, that’s why I’m here. When I figure out what works best I’ll buy all the equipment needed, and I’ve got more than enough power to handle another midrange amp. I’m not doing competitions yet but from the start everything that I’ve done has been competition quality. I guess I’m looking for midrange depth from about 200hz and up. I’ve thought about doing a few 6.5 subs but I didn’t want to blow money on it until I got more info. Skar makes some great little EVL 6.5’s that would be fun to work with. My friend has great midbass but he has 8-8” speakers and I have no room for 8’s. I want to feel a singers voice not just hear it. Same with drums.

Sterling Frost Posted June 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Also I think sealing the doors will make massive improvements. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack187Murder Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Well the highest female voice is at 1050hz or some shit. A males voice down a s low as 65hz so if your trying to feel voices get a driver in that range. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also need to know what is the best hertz range for mid bass? Thanks Why are you limited to 6.5” drivers ?? Please remember, when you are dealing with midbass ... Cone area is king !!! When you say you have four sets, are they in each door (4 door vehicle) or two sets in each door ??? frequency range is in the neighborhood of 180 htz - 70 htz. Give or take depending on application.

Thanks for the reply A good dynamic “midrange” driver should come in either a 4” drive or a 5.25” driver for optimal capabilities. A 6.5” driver has too much cone area for true dynamic midrange no matter what the spec sheets say. When you’ been judged on midrange as much as I have, you will understand the difference. It will be easier to help you out by posting what you are working with ... vehicle & system because all applications are different. 7 minutes ago, Mack187Murder said: I was referring to voices..not singing..your most likely correct on the vocals.
