Using only midbass for rear speakers
One thing my systems seem to lack is good, punchy midbass. I'm not
really big on sub-bass. I figured that out through trial and error. I don't like bass that shakes the car. I like the 80Hz - 150Hz kind of bass. I recently bought a small hatchback, and I'm now in the process of designing my next system. Here's what I was thinking about doing: 1 pair of 6.5" components in the front doors 1 pair of 6.5" midbass drivers in the rear seat side panels 1 12" subwoofer in a sealed enclosure in the rear hatch There will be two amps - I just haven't decided on which ones yet. Now, I am wondering if having some midbass coming from the rear seat side panels would affect the overall imaging of the system? I was thinking about having the rear midbasses only play 80Hz - 200Hz. Would my midbass improve by doing this? |

Would my midbass improve by doing this? I prefer to have my midbass drivers closer to the front stage due to the fact that there is a potential to have stereo sound in those frequencies above 80 Hz. Everyone says I am nuts, but I tend to notice stereo in the midbass frequency range. Then again, it depends on the car. My 1996 Thunderbird had rear seat side panel speakers, and it did not really cause a problem with stereo imaging because I could still hear them from the driver's seat. |
