Mid-bass drivers

I'm looking for 8" drivers that will install into an '05 Mustang (default location). Any thoughts on manufacturers?Squirrel

MID bass my friend,. not SUB bass. Slight difference.

*laughing* It makes sense, but I get all the bass I need right now from my 2 RF Punch HX2's in the rear. I've got (2) 5.25" Infinity Kappa 50.5cs's for the front and (2) 5x7" Infinity Kappa 572.5cf's for the parcel shelf. Squirrel

you dont get enought bass form your 5x7's? or you want your midbass more defined? or you just want to fill the hole? which is it?

I'm still running stock while I get my components together. Most have come from previous installations I did in my '97 Explorer and '02 Mustang. Here's everything I've got right now: (1) Alpine CDA-7995 headunit (2) 5.25" Infinity Kappa 50.5cs's (2) 1" Infity Kappa dome tweeters (part of the 50.5cs component set) (2) Infinity external passive crossovers (part of the 50.5cs component set) (2) 5x7" Infinity Kappa 572.5cf's (2) Kenwood KAC-649S amps running the Infinity's (2) Rockford Fosgate RFD2112 Punch HX2's (1) Rockford Fosgate Power 1000bd mono amp running the HX2's (1) Sealed enclosure (dual chamber) at 1.25 cu.ft. per chamber (1) Rockford Fosgate 1-farad cap (1) Lightening Audio ANL in-line fuse (accepts 1/0-guage input) (1) Lightening Audio AGU fused distribution block (accepts 1/0 guage input) (1) Rockford Fosgate AGU fused distribution block (accepts 4-guage input) (1) Rockford Fosgate non-fused distribution block (ground distribution) (1) Stinger relay (for when I ran dual battery setups) The setup I ran before was as follows: - The Alpine headunit has no pre-outs. Everything is straight low level innerconnects to the 3 amps. - Active high and low crossovers were used through the headunit (although I can't recall what I had them set at) - The 2 Kenwood amps run the Infinity's. Each Kenwood amp is 4-channel (I know, but it's all I could afford at the time). - The first Kenwood amp is bridged to 2 channels, running the Front left and right Infinity Kappa 50.5cs components at a 4ohm load per channel (the 5.25" and 1" run through the external passive crossover). - The second Kenwood amp is bridged to 2 channels, running the Rear left and right Infinity Kappa 572.5cf's coaxials at a 4ohm load per channel. - The Rockford Fosgate mono amp runs the 2 Punch HX2's (2ohm DVC's) at a 2ohm load. - The cap is isolated to the Rockford amp for voltage regulation. I've run this setup since '03 and have been extremely pleased in all aspects (lows, mids, and highs). At the time I ran 4-guage from the battery through an inline AGU fuse to the AGU fused distro. From there I ran (2) 8-guage splits to the Kenwood amps (1 8-guage per amp) and (2) 8-guage splits to the Rockford amp (1 straight to it, the other connected the cap to it, making a combined 4-guage input). I know I should have used either a single 1/0-guage or (2) 4-guage lines from the battery due to the power consumption, but at that time I used what I had and it was hard as hell to find 1/0 components. Now I have an inline ANL fuse that will accept 1/0, as well as a new AGU fused distro block that accepts 1/0. So it will be a single 1/0 line from the battery (as well as 1/0 from the alternator to the battery). The midbass is something new that I thought I'd experiment with over time, especially since the factory Shaker 500 system was nice enough to provide me with mount points for (2) 8" midbass drivers. So basically it's just to fill in the hole, but I would like to see what it adds to the overall sound.Squirrel

if i had 2 8" openings factory i would put 2 of the tc-1000's. they have a 48xmax which is crazy and the 8 can handle it. but like Dwarren said i dont know how high of a frequency it can go in that opening. if the box is right they will impress.
