Any ideas if this will work... I was thinking about building some Kick pannels and puting them in the Camry or putting them in the rear deck... and replacing the factory 5x7's with them... Now... First off.. If i was to go with replacing the deck speakers with those, would i have to build a small enclosure around those midbasses to protect them from the Sub in the back? And if i do this or build the Kicks in the front with the midbass's in them will my A/D/S pp amp work well with it... Only reason i ask is that in order to get the desired output i would have to bridge all the channels so that i get 3x 88w at 4 ohms. Is the amp going to get damaged if i only use 2 of the available 3 channels?

Figured i would use the amp while i have it...

Is this going to be a DEDICATED midbass? As in a 3way system? In any case, you'd want to keep them up in the front of your car. If you didn't buy the MA Audio drivers yet, I'd look to some other companies for better midbass drivers.
As far as the amp getting damage, I wouldn't think so, but that's a question for someone other than myself.

x2 on all counts

ok yes dedicated so definitely Kicks then... And i would like to at one point put Diamond 6.5's components in the doors as well but that would require yet another amp or a really good 4 channel... So for now i think im just going to go with the Midbasses as just Midbasses in the front... What other Midbasses can u suggest that are aroundthat price range?

I was thinking maybe the Kicker smb04's but i really want CDT's but they are a lil pricey

How much were they? Dayton makes some good midbass drivers for the price. Seas, Peerless, Dayton, the Extremis drivers, etc all make good stuff. You will obviously need another amp unless you're going passive.
Make sure you deaden the crap out of that kick and however it's attaching to your car. :)

By chance, there's a thread on that going on over at DIYMA.

Btw, Dayton makes the RS180 (7") and RS225 (8") speakers, both would make sweet midbasses. They look really pretty and I doubt you'd be paying much more for them than the MA Audios (maybe less )

hmmm ill have to check them out i thought they were only for Home use though?

Looks like i cant get them at like $40 a piece http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdet ... er=295-376

Any speaker can be used anywhere, really (awaiting all the specific exclusive situations from Glass :) ). Just like Jonathan is running the Seas drivers in his car (or is planning to).

Can't get them at 40$ a piece?

Yeah I deal with Ma a lot and wouldn't recommend for speakers or mid bass.
The only stuff that they seem to do really well at is their high end amps and higher end subs.

i meant can lol i will look into it...
