rl-i 8 for front midbass?

Recommended Posts

Throwing around the idea of 'glassing an 8" midbass, and some 5.25CDT's in a door pod.

Is the rli a good option?

sounds like a very nice idea. and use it not only for mid-bass but also sub-bass.

only downside is that it's not small and not light. there aren't many doors that can handle this bugger :)

They don't play high enough to do that.

The RL-i 8 is a subwoofer, not a midbass.

If by tweets you mean a 2-3" full range driver you might be able to pull it off, but your door won't support the Rli8. Really.

not a good idea. they are a true subwoofer. maybe you can pull it off to a degree, but i doubt they'll shine.

and like previously mentioned, at 19pds each, they aren't lightweights. your doors will hate you, lol.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

No, as noted these are not midbass drivers, they are subwoofers and are designed to hit the low lows!

I would recommend crossing over no higher than 120 Hz, and in my personal opinion, 80 Hz 'n down for optimal performance.

This reminds me of the r-tard on ca.com that actually DID this.

Glassed one on his tranny hump.

Same kid who glassed spherical pods ON his dash with components in it.
