[QUOTE="jimh, post: 1498959, member: 566402"] Some things I don't see mentioned here that might be of use. I know there is always the talk of getting the bass up front. BUT if you are mounting the mids/midbass in the stock door locations firing directly sidways you might be better off with a smaller driver if you have subs. A smaller driver images much better of axis than a larger one. For example a 5.5 will have a better soundstage in the example than a 6.5, etc. The higher the order of a xover the more it will protect a driver with a steeper cutoff. The higher the order the more it will mask little nuances in the music too. So it is a big trade off. Passive x-overs: Even orders (2nd, 4th...) keep phase and odd reverse phase (1st, 3rd...). So if you are designing your own make sure to reverse + & - speaker wires for odd units. Digital elctronic xovers do not do this. [/QUOTE]
