Looks interesting, is this goal more of a SQ build or SPL? Where do you plan on installing the 10s? And will you have sub?Quote:

Just want loud, clear, deep bass and loud clear front stage

They are really two different beasts. Most of us on this forum do love loud music. But, we are not out to set SPL records. We just like good clear and clean music that will get loud and un-distorted. We typically are not the guys who care if our vehicles can be heard from a mile away. We don't want to shatter our windshields due to heavy bass vibrations.
If you are going for a midbass attack in your front stage the the MB-8 is a great choice :)

thanks for the info... yeah I'm not looking for to be heard three blocks away in traffic or shatter any records, not competing or interested in doing any tricks. But loud, low and clear is the goal.Quote:

I also ask that because the sub and lows will be the 1st priority on which everything else will be built. After doing tons of research, a single SA12 in a 2cuft ported box, tuned to ~31Hz seems to be all the bass I'll need from what others have said about their experience and thats what I'll be installing and pushing it to the max.
A single SA12 in a 2 cu ft box tuned low will slam on 1200 watts. I know because I had one exactly like that. That subwoofer is nearly indestructible too. If you need more bass than what the SA12 can provide then you are truly a bass head, lol. The guy I sold it too had a 3000 watt system and I let him demo it in my CX5 before he purchased it with AudioFrog GB15/GB60 and he was like “damn, this is only 1200 watts” and handed me the money, lol. Don’t try the SA12 sealed though because it sounds like shit. Ported it is ok but not the cleanest sub compared to say the SD3 or GB12.
I have the MB-6 and like them a lot. I would talk to Eric Stevens on Facebook about how well they do above 1khz. When I had mine running with my Wideband speakers, which previously I had crossed at 1khz (CDT ES-02 Pods). When I put in the MB-6's I ended up crossing them at 3500hz and loved the SQ coming from the MB-6. I much preferred the MB-6 covering the 2000-3000 range.
I'd ask Eric Stevens about some of your questions. He is very responsive especially if you have really specific questions. I know that he has told me that they can go up to about 4khz before they have issues. Granted I was asking about the MB6's, but I know the MB-8s aren't far off.
Like Geo said - for under $200 it can't hurt to try them out.
I've been very pleased with mine.
