I've got factories in the rear doors now, powered by a couple channels on my Crossfire VR404 (just wired it in when I did my fronts, just in case I'd upgrade in the future. easier all at one time). But I love the midbass kick, and I want more. Would it be ok to get some good midbass drivers and put back there? How high in frequency does it need to go before it gets directional? maybe 60 up to 250 hz or so ok? I also need some suggestions, probably 6.5". something that isn't any deeper than my JL XR 6.5's in front, but I'll have to look up their dimensions.

I'm also thinking about ditching the ported box that my SI D2 is in, maybe try sealed. But I hate giving up the extra few db's, but I also love low end and sealed is better for that. so who knows. I've also just had the idea of getting 4 8's, but........arg. too many ideas! let's just stick to the midbass for now, ha.

Anything below 200 hz should be ok, but most capable midbass drivers are going to want more than 50w each to shine.

oh whoops, I forgot that I have two of the channels idle, so actually I could bridge the amp! I have another 2 channel amp powering my front stage. So I could get 200 watts @ 4 ohms. Assuming the other 2 channels work.....I think they do, haven't used them........ever, maybe.

50hz is directional not sure where that 200hz came from, personally I say if you can't fit them up front don't do them.

I thought I'd read/heard a number of times that bass is omnidirectional until you get up into the midbass stuff, or a couple hundred hz. I don't really know where i'd put them up front. I like the stock door look of things and my big feet would get in the way of kick panels. cripes.

Only if you are listening challenged. I can easily locate 50hz which is why my subs only play to 40hz
