"If I ever find myself splurging that much on a 2way component set it would probably be for the Seas Excel W18's wich I believe is a better driver than their Mobile line."

Lower bass performance is especially better than the Lotus. It's just a question of whether your average car audio enthusiast could design/construct the necessary notch filter and crossover for the midbass driver. Something I try to keep in mind when recommending stuff. I'd pair the midbass with a ribbon before a soft dome, though :) .

Indeed... that would be very challenging for the average enthusiast. I certainly did not mean to imply otherwise. Although, it can be worked around in an active setup.

I have not had the pleasure of listening to ribbons yet, but here is an interesting test review on some ribbons....

The Dayton RS28 is not a soft dome in case you were thinking it was...

Yeah that's right, I was thinking about the Dayton softie, my bad.

I've heard the breakup around 5khz doesn't really show itself that bad in a car door, but I haven't done it to say whether that's true or not. It makes sense since you usually won't get much over 2khz off axis in a door.
