Imaging With Midbass?

I have been hearing of a lot of people mounting 8" midbass drivers up front(3-way setup), in order to "lock" the bass up front, ect. I was wondering if this is a wise choice for a SQ orientated system 'cause I'm thinking of doing this but I would like some feedback on the pros/cons of doing this. And what speaker would be A good choice for this type of setup, Thanks for your time.Integra Hatch

We installed a 8 " subwoofer into the doors our Integra and the imaging is great. The bass sounds just like it was infront of your sound stage ( no trunk bass ). I highly suggest doing this if room is available.Jeff

Well, IMHO the car is a tad to riced for my taste, but none the less an excellent car. Gotta love the B17. The sound system looks real good, very original. Esp. liked what you did with the glove box and vents. Hatch looks awesome as well. Wish I had something like that in my Teg. Good luck w/everything.Integra Hatch

Can someone name a couple of good midbass drivers, for instance kicker,focal,ID,ect..

Well you just named some very good ones in your post. You can also look at MB Quart & Boston Acoustics. They are rather expensive, but well worth the money.Jeff

Dynaudio, AVI, Morel, a/d/s/, Rainbow... although I honestly have to say the Focal PolyKevlars really are hard to beat when you are asking for a really strong midbass...the AVIs are pretty strong as well... you may want to look for Focals 5" sub (5ws if I remember correctly...) for a 5" speaker, they sure can get down low...simply amazing...when I buy another car that has room allowance for more than a set of 5" components I am torn between a new Kevlar set with a pair or more of 5ws' or the AVI's Tristar BSMs...may be worth an audition if you can get the opportunity...
