Frequencies above 80Hz are directional, so placement of midbass drivers is crucial for proper imaging.  Stereo or mono will work, but yes stereo is better especially if the high cut Xover point is in the midrange bands (I believe yu are planning 350Hz?  I'd go stereo.)   Why do you think they need to be 4 ohms?  8 ohms (or any load, actually) is just fine.  Choose and setup your amps and crossovers properly and the impedence of the driver does not matter.

you'd be amaze at what those drivers can do with that power. the rating is typical the thermal protection level, above which you will damage your speaker, you can usually get a lot of sound from a driver with that power, I also think youd get more than 50 watts, probobly closer to 60-65. go with the adire's though, get some koda 8's. modify your door, you will be very, very pleased. I'd run those up to 400 hz too. good luck

Thank's for your input guys....
I just took a look at the MB Quart speakers that I already have, just to see if they would be a good choice for the midbass. I am not sure how good they are. They are QM 169TX-3.
What do you think? Should I give these try and decide or is it not worth it? Also, does anyone know about the availability of the Adire Extremis? Are they only available directly from Adire?

i've just ordered mxt thunder 404 for for my 4 speakers, but thinking about using components in the back, for more bass. the amp listed to put out 50W per channel, but a lot of people say it's underrated. can i still get something decent out of that much juice?

spilot, I am not familiar with the components you are talking about, perhaps posting a new thread with your questions may get more of a response.
I am still contemplating on weather or not to stay with the MB Quart or go with the Morel's. They are the same size speaker. The MB is 4 ohm, the Morel is 8 ohm. I will be using an Orion Xtreme 3752 to power them. I cant find any wavelength analysis for either speaker to see how they may perform....any sources out there for this information other than the manufacturer?
