im new to the whole mids and highs thing,i've always done 6 1/2's with tweeters,so im thinking about doing an 8" sub and a 61/2 per door or 2 8's in each door with a tweeter in the door and one in the pillars or an 8 and a 6 1/2 in each door,never heard of anyone doing this so i figured i'd ask,i've heard og 6 1/2's for mids but not 8's just thought it'd be really cool,but if not i'll just do 3 6 1/2's in each door and call it done,need help asap

theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer

i agree. 8" is good if you are using it as a dedicated midbass. if you use it as an midbass/midrange then more than likely your sound will be muddy and very baritone.(its harder to play a bass note and a high note at the same time ;) )

subs should not be played as a midbass. they werent designed to play up that high. there are plenty of 8" midbasss drivers out there
