Hi all, I have a few choices regarding midbass that I was planning to run in my next build, need thoughts on what would provide the best regardless of fabrication etc. My 3 choices are. Brax ml8, Zr-Dream 1, or skanning Fu6. What im planning to run is the skanning, have aluminum pods also so would be stiff and heavy duty. Will be sending plentiful power as a hv venti will be used. Heres a couple pics of the skanning. Will be going in a lexus ls430. Cheers and thanks all for input in advance!

Brax ml8...... $1700each.... lol do they install themselves?

What makes a 8" driver worth that ridiculous amount of money? Does it have the low bass of a 15" sub but also amazing mid bass? like could these two magic drivers replace everything in your whole system? If I were rich, I would not spend this kind of money on an 8" midbass.....and if you aren't stupid rich, you'd be a fool and irresponsible to pay that. smh.... and lol

MSRP prices are always a joke in car audio if you didnt know my friend. ( 2x brax ml8 ~1500 USD) And budget is not in the question. But if you have a high end system please do share your thoughts on your explaination! Cheers

I only can afford budget stuff....it just blows my mind how much money some people spend! I'm just a poor guy tryin to have some fun too!

1700$ is just a drop in the rabbit hole. Especially for midbasses. That's around what I paid for the Thesis Sax ii and I decided not to use them .... yet. I'm saving them for a future build on a car I don't own yet, that I haven't decided on yet. So I stored them.

What one spends on hobbies for their own reasons don't make them crazy or irresponsible. If they can afford them, then who cares. I really like taking the wife to clubs and ill spend 500-1k just to get us a table so when she wants to sit for a bit. Doesn't bother me or my budget one bit. Plus the table comes with a bottle or something that leaves me stumbling to an Uber at the end of the night. 😃

Sorry OP I have no input on your choices of 8" high end midbass , but I'd be looking at the Utopia's

Realistically what I spend my money on is none of your concern.

If you don’t know better then I guess you will have to pay big money, when better means location and/or gear . Sax woofers are expensive but not $1500 a pair, more like $1k

 

[Thomasluke7899]

These threads are great.

 

[Thomasluke7899]

Who remembers Koontz? Huh?

 

[Jroo]

Unless OP just like burning cash, I would look at the Stereo Integrity 8" coming out.

Are you planning on putting them in your doors? Model the drives in WinISD. Pick up a pair of TM8's like Jroo said as well. Only $400 and will be a worthy contender. I'm doing the same thing but plan to do a lot of testing before I decide what I'm going to run. Have some Legatia LS8SE, TM8 (on the way in March), Brax, AF GB60 and the SI TM65 MKIV. Going to take me forever to test since I will have custom DSP tunes for each set of drivers or systems of drivers.

Yeah, they will be going in doors. Need something that will put out a surprising amount of thump. Id like focusing on the midbass (50hz-100hz) more then the lower sub hz(<50) for my system. Its what I prefer after having multiple setups, thats why focusing on what would give the best response regardless of price. Jus dont wanna go over 8-9' or use a subwoofer in doors.

I do already have the skannings as mentioned, but seeings if theres anymore suggestions comparable to those.

Realistically you are correct. Theoretically you are nutz.

Or ^^^^^^^ maybe visa versa

I don't know what you mean by this.... are you saying I don't know better so I should have paid 1k for the Sax? Please tell us where we can get the Sax for 1k, cuz we'd really like to know. If I miss understood what you said. I apologize in advance.😃

Join the Stereo Integrity facebook page and listen to Jason's car with the TM8's. They play down to 30hz but he wouldn't recommend crossing them that low on the final crossover point. They seem to hit crazy hard from what you can tell off a video. Watch ErinH's video on increasing midbass with a sub as well.

 

[datooff]

Interesting how you would install them without sacrificing the looks of the doors. I agree, in this car - keep everything above 50hz upfront.

It's a question and answer topic that been done heaps, there's no magic answer

 

[BMW 1M]

What's your budget?
How high do the need to play?
How low do they need to play?
How loud do they need to play?
How will they be installed?

IDK how anyone could possibly respond to this thread without at least having those answered for guidance
