just want some opinions who do you think makes some good component sets for mid bass and highs?

  • Admin

What is your budget, goals, size or space limitations, and amplifiers powering the mids and highs? That way we can help you find a better and cheaper end result. :)

my bad it took me so long to answer this haha. Have not looked at this in a few weeks. $$ is really no issuse. I will spend what ever is needed to get the best setup. Right now i have 4 small 200watt 2 channel amps that put out max power at 4ohms 100wattx2 i wont be powering anything off of the headunit. Im putting it in a 2000 dodge caravan so i have pretty much a crap load of space. Im looking for a good set of 6x9 3ways or 5ways at least 4 prob gonna put in 8 of them. Good tweets i have 4 kicker 1/2" right now but looking to upgrade. And i need either 2 or 4 good 5 1/4" 3ways for the dash basicly im just trying to figure out what brands would be good to go with i heard MB quartz was good as well as focal and soundstreem. Im just trying to figure out what other people think would be good that they have personaly heard brand wise for SQ componet setups. Im trying to get something that can compeat with my 2 BTL 18"s so i can actully hear the music over the bass lol.

Yay, I get to play bad guy.

You aren't going to get a "sq set up" that will compete with your BTL's period. Since you said SQ, you are going to want Large midbass, efficient mid-range and horn-tweeters.

The idea behind having the large mid-bass is that you can set your low pass on your subs really low for daily. Basically making your subs cover the sub 40hz range only. The BTL's are still loud, so you are going to have to use the headunit or the gain itself to turn them down some.

My suggestion since cost isn't an object is Hybrid Audio Legatia L8 and L4 and Image Dynamics horn tweets. The L8's would go in your doors, feeding each L8 200 watts would be a good place to start. The L4's would go in the kicks and you are going to want to find an experienced horn installer to install and tune your horns. You will only need ~17 watts per horn.

haha yeah i kinda figured that the btls would drown out pretty much any kind of frontstage but worth a shot i would still like it to be louder tho :)

Just a hint, when it comes to Front stage, more speakers does not = louder.

if you're looking for SQ, ditch the idea of those coaxials (3-way, 4-way, 5-way, etc.). You have to go component.
