Posted June 26, 200718 yr They do a good job, but I gotta listen to them for longer tommorrow before I can say anything further, besides that the midbass on these things is GOOD
June 26, 200718 yr Author Do you have an xover on them or are they wide open?Right now they're actually running full range, well there's a highpass at 50-63hz cutting out the bass, but that doesnt count I've got some heavy EQing happening (-3db @ 40hz, +1db @ 2khz and +5db@12khz) at my deck to make them sound better until I get my tweets installed...I'm actually thinking of ditching the super small sized 4ch amp I got for this setup and getting a bigger amp to power these mids and put my a/d/s on the tweets, I'm very impressed with the a/d/s's clarity, but the MLI65's could use more power to really come alive
June 27, 200718 yr Author Yep it's the Mach5 MLI65's.Overall they do a great job! Power handling is good, they take the ~50 watts RMS per channel no problem with the above EQ settings. Pretty much can't bottom them out with those settings either.I can see myself giving them between 70-120 watts RMS a piece with 30db/octave of highpass @ ~63hz. Speaking of more power, the only harshness that I'm hearing is from the amp clipping, they run very nicely by themselves, full range. I've gotta give them a more thorough, non-EQ'd listen tommorrow, but I'm very happy with them so far.I can imagine them having vicious response in the 80-150 range when given more power
June 27, 200718 yr I'd be curious how they sound when you connect your tweeter. I've been trying to match them up with a partner...

June 27, 200718 yr Admin I'd be curious how they sound when you connect your tweeter. I've been trying to match them up with a partner...Working on that issue right now.
June 27, 200718 yr pimpedout97x do you have any picks of your exploder? any advice on installing subs/mids? what way to face them ect?none of it is installed yet, but i just throw them where ever. its not a SQ vehicle.
June 27, 200718 yr Admin Good. Feedback on this topic is appreciated.I need to by a new bit for the drill to cut the holes for the Seas tweets. If they are anything like my 10 year old RF textile domes, then these are a awesome set and are a great price.
July 1, 200718 yr Author Pics: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2346787/13After more use, they do a good job My engine with it's polyurethane motor mounts and hole in my muffler really destroys any deep bass while driving, but I can really see these things being very good midbasses with excellent 80-150hz punch with a good dosage of power and a higher highpass frequency... I can't wait to get some power to em I threw my back out on wednesday, and havent been able to do any work on the stereo, plus I need to concentrate on my car club's car show coming next weekend.... so it'll be a while before I get the tweets mounted and singing, and another amp to run the mids, but it'll be worth the wait for sure.In the meantime, I'll be busy abusing the MLI65's with the ~50 watts RMS a piece that I have available
