hi
anyone have experience with MB quart QSD164/PCE164/RCE164 or Kicker RMB6 ???
i am thinking of getting Diamond s600s in the front and a set of midbass
in the rear deck. I want to use the midbass as subwoofer since their response range is pretty low 35k-280. Can that work? please tell me what you think. TIA. :thanks:
I am running PCE164 in my front doors in a 3 way setup. They provide a nice punch and a lot more quality midbass then the 5.25" ones I had in before. I do not like that they would be a good fit as your "sub" though.
It will work, just make sure that the midbases you are getting play well under "free air" conditions (most do, since they are designed to pay using the doors as enclosures).
I used to install kicker products. Their midbases are ok, but not the most impressive I have heard. For good midbases, try Image Dynamics.
Another solution would be two install two 8" free air subs under the deck, firing through the speaker holes, or even better, get some JL stealthboxes.

If you go with the MBQ's in the rear, try some XTC foam baffles with a wod of polyfill from crutchfield or parts express. It forms a small enclosure which helps bass response.
MBQs put out pretty good midbass, not sure how good they would sound as a subwoofer.
oh.. i see. i guess i would have to think really hard about it putting it in the door then as i am not a fan of cutting.... but i still have the option of putting it in the rear deck. thanx for your input !! :thanks:
since i am not willing to forfeit my trunk space, i am willing to compromise in terms of sound quality. if i don't go with mid bass drivers, i will definitely go with stealthboxes. Thanks.
