Thinking about doing a 3 way setup.

I will probably sell my boston sl80s and get a nice 6.5 component set and put the mid in the door and the tweeters higher up in the door. I was also thinking about using some 6.5s (like eDs 6.5) to use as a midbass and locate them in the rear doors. Now I'm not going to be competing, I'm just using the locations I have. Just looking to get a full range of sound during daily driving.

If it was me and i was gonna do another 3 way...i'd use 8" midbass.

I don't really have room for an 8" midbass though.

how do you plan to bandpass (xover) the midbasses?

It's like when they asked Austin Power's what his sex was and he replied "Yes please!"

OP - you cant just start adding drivers to your "stage" like I think you're intending to.

Get a very nice comp set, run it active and be done. 3 way setups are quite rewarding, but can be tricky to set up. If you want to still consider doing this, I would suggest tweeters and mids mounted on the A pillar and midbass drivers (8s) mounted in custom kick panels.

Mr Bang, makes a good point, how are you going to bandpass the midbass?

How about this, a Sundown 50.4 powering the A pillars, and a 125.2 pushing the midbass? Amps have the built in crossovers to cover the speakers, but that setup will lack the finesse as if you had done the same thing with a HU that had active abilities, and offer less control from the driver seat.

Just a suggestion...

My bad Bang I just thought you said are you going to. Read it fast.

I'm thinking just running a separate amp to the midbasses and using the crossover on the amp.
