Interesting how you would install them without sacrificing the looks of the doors. I agree, in this car - keep everything above 50hz upfront.
Best 8 inch midbass suggestions!
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!

My current solution to fill 45-100hz. Didn't finish yet (still fitting the front wall). 8inch sub. This is the second glovebox I'm building and I already heard it in this location. The speaker will look forward into the firewall.
The best thing is that I will still keep the airbag and the panel under it and use OEM fixing points.
I don't think that any 6.5 inch midbass in doors will outperform a good 8 inch sub. The sub is ~100-200$. And this way you can cross the midbass higher at ~90-100hz increasing the output and minimizing the rattles.
I also tried to build footwell subs, but too much legroom will be lost, if you're ok with that - go for it, and it's much easier to do.
Doors:
- the midbass is 100% isolated from playing under the door card
- OEM grill was redone so it's installed at the end (added magnets).

100% agreed, as I have the same vehicle and done everything I could to the doors. They sound decent. And I have one of the best 6.5 midbass and a pretty good amp - Zapco 150.2 LX.
Now this was a quick test of the same midbass in the right kick/floor (don't look at the esthetics)- I had a hole there after trying to install a front sub there.
I was blown away by the same midbass in that location.There's so much output in ~80-200hz area, tight kick.
There's an enclosure of ~4-5L + a vent to the rails. It's also possible to do IB. So experiments need to be done with the inside enclosure.
Now I will try to install the second midbass in the drivers location, it's harder because of the pedals (especially emergency stop pedal).
