Guess my doors are sealed enough that they don't exactly act like ib anymore asine haven't bottomed out yet. my silverflutes are on 90w normally crossed at 50hz 24db slope but I have run them with no high pass at all on some rock style music to fill in the bottom end a little.

At one point they were on 125w crossed the same.

Honestly this little $35 speaker is damn good for the money. It struggles beyond 2500hz though. Which mine are crossed at 2khz lowpass anyway.

I agree. I have four flutes in my car on 100w each. They handle it well but I’d like a little more bass. I’ve been shopping for 8’s that I could possibly fit. I’m gonna print one adapter out tonight and see how it will fit.

The 8 inch flutes aren't much deeper iirc,might just need a larger opening or spacer, and stereo integrity has the tm8 on preorder now. The tm65mkiv is known to be a mid heavy woofer the tm8 from early reports seems to be similar.

I'm in the same boat I kinda want more but I need to install a sub stage and see how it blends. Plus most drivers that play very low well struggle.on the top end and usually require a 3way setup. Which is another idea I'm toiling with.

Did I miss the modeling for the Stevens MB8s? Saw em mentioned but didn't see the graphs.

I have 6.5 flutes in the doors. 6.5 flutes in the rear (where the rear doors would be but it’s a 2 door) , Vega 8’s in the back deck, Air motion tweets and unity wide bands in the dash. Sounds pretty good. I actually just got trough using a mic and pink noise with a spectrum analyzer to dial it in. Sounds really good but I’d like a little more bass out the door speakers.

Wow, so I currently run the NVX version of the SB 6.5, what advantage would the GB's give me based on these curves? Is it just cone control/power handling below 100hz or so? I might be mis-understanding the implications of these curves.

Yes, you are correct. Sound wise I think you wont notice a difference until maybe when you go to push them to their limits at high volumes where the better driver control at near xmax of the GB60 should handle the power better in the lowest octave its rated to handle. I had the SB version and they were very nice low distortion midbass drivers for me. At normal listening volumes my recollection is the Audiofrog GB60 and SB acoustics driver sounded similar. Makes sense because both use a paper cone and have low distortion motors.

I have a build thread on them somewhere where I compared them years ago.

If you want more bass from the doors, you'll need to swap from a very low Q driver to something higher. I've never had a real good kick from low Q woofers in the doors. They were always snappy with good definition in the upper bass (120-200hz) but lacked any real beefiness beneath. That includes 8"
