Which is most important to you for Sound Quality System ?
Probably the drivers that cover the midrange or vocals would be so that the stage is solid .
HLCD's serve this function or much of the stage , If their of the larger size [ full vs mini ].

For me, no matter the gear, from mild to wild, budget to premium, it's all about the instal and tune baby.....
Do you concentrate on location when installing the gear or doesn't that matter for tuning ? Is tonality 1rst in importance ?
Of course I do, no location is perfect......but each offers its own shortcomings. You choose the location that best addresses your desires, then tune it the best you can. Tonality is always 1st, it must be sufficient to be listenable, but fortunately the attributes that pull it all together, staging, imaging, and blend tend to work independently of your final tonality curve, as long as you maintain the eq corrections within your final curve.
Ok, just looked to the top of the thread and realized it was a poll.....lol. I feel there is equal weight all around with drivers, as in their final response, equalized, as music is full range, and any base not covered is going to bug the shit out of you......so I can't hardly put more emphasis on one driver set over the others.....
If you had to have one thing "Great" and the others as good as possible : would it be the singing and subsequently all the instruments in that range ?
Or would it be great subwoofer thump , maybe airiness from tweeters and like that ?
Hmmm, probably midbass capable of prodigious output......most desirable traits in a drivers response can be eq'd out of any adequate driver......but output cannot, and I loves me some strong midbass....lol.
0K , now you're talking ! Lack of midbass is numero uno in audio ( home or vehicles ). I started out with coaxial , triaxial , 5.25's , 6.5 , 6.75 , 5 ×7/6 x 8 , 6 x 9 . . .et cetera
It's always been the " Main Thing ", the midrange driver ! ( Scanspeak 12m ) is remarkable !
I can get by without excellent midbass , just sayin . . .
Midbass is the hardest frequency range to get realistic output levels......mid, tweet, and sub drivers typically reach realistic levels pretty easily.
There is no such thing as a " Full Fidelity " wave form due to recording limitations , so getting a recording to sound like a live event is still not going to be realized.Quote:

A midbass of optimum displacement or multiples of smaller ones are needed to interact with other drivers . Alot of installs put 2 in the bottom of doors ! Wouldn't be the cake in my book , but is definately , The Icing ! ! !
I have heard bigger professional drivers done in rear of vehicles ( a couple of 10 inchers ) , really sounded Sweet !
Gotta be the midrange for me, but anyone who knows me knows I'm a stickler for a good tweeter too. "Good" speakers don't have to be expensive either. It's a case of finding the right tools for the job. I tend to stick with stock locations because I insist on my front stage install looking like nothing ever happened in the way of audio upgrades. Install and tuning within the restraints is how it goes down. I'm also paranoid as hell. Hell will freeze over before I have big pods that scream "aftermarket audio". Some people tend to conveniently forget that not everyone is over the deep end in this hobby like they are. I don't consider myself over the deep end because I know how to make my system better in the form of speaker placement with fabrication but don't have any desire to make it happen because what I've accomplished with very little effort AND MONEY sounds damn good. The single best thing I've done for my system is bypass the factory amp to get clean signal from the factory U-connect screen. Nothing I do from now on for the system will top getting a clean unmolested signal to the processor. And as much as I talk about swapping out the front stage the only way that will happen is if I have a speaker fail. When that happens the entire front stage will get changed since I'll be in there anyway. Beyond that, the system is "done".
Nice !
Thank you to those who have posted and the 2 votes after 77 views !
To the person who voted "other" would you explain which "driver" you place first in order of importance for a sound quality system ?
Just curious is all ?
I have only listed [ tweeter/hlcd/midrange/full range/wide bander/midbass/subwoofer ] , so which driver is your first choice in the order of importance ?
Please vote and ' Let Us All ' know !
Clay, you said it all right there ☆ !Quote:

2 - 15 inchers IB , pair of 12 inchers Midbass , a coupla mid-ranges , and 2 tweeters would do it !
8 votes so far , 4 for midrange , 2 for midbass 2 for tweeter and 1 for other. [ other equals " phantom " center }
I was always more in the "Value for buck" program, and bullet/idiot proof... simple 3 way...
even though I collected a bunch of shit that I haven't used...
Also that my truck was so dirty and rough, that I'd feel bad for putting the "good stuff" in the dash and doors.
Some of my woofers got stolen... like an older SI Mag prototype (from the Owner himself) and a never used Diyma12 :mad:
I prefer subwoofer, midbass, tweeter, then midrange
The speaker that covers the range you listen to , is the most important or your go to !
By disconnecting the various speakers , it will become apparent to your ears.
A boombox or a clock radio , even the puter plays music "good enough" to listen to
