Anyone tried / heard / have a setup with 2 completely different midbass drivers??

I know it's not common practice and not generally accepted...but how does it sound?

I was mixing a drink and thought...hmmm, jim beam tastes good on it's own, same as coke...mixed together tastes sensational!
Does this apply with midbass drivers??

I won't be doing it because I don't have the space in my doors but I'm curious.

You mean like 2 pairs of mids? or 2 diff mids one on each side?

I know a few pple who use 2 mids per side, something like a set of 6.5" 2 way splits + a pair of 8" mid bass too. if the xo points are set well then it can sound very good!

One set up that i liked was had a set of Dyn 2 ways and 8" RF subs as midbass and it sounded quite good!

Yeh, I meant 2 different midbass drivers per side of the same size... ie 2 different 6.5" drivers per side.

would have tonality problems
two different sounding speakers trying to recreate the one sound stage

If you split up the frequencies and fed one pair "midrange" and one pair "midbass", it'd probably be less disasterous than feeding the same signal to both at the same size.

What i'm thinking he's saying is for example, his left mid is one brand and his right mid is another brand (due to one of his mids blown up)

not two mids per door/per side

or are you thinking of something new darv, with dual midbasses per door?

Nah, I'm not doing it, but I've always wondered.

But I meant 2 different brands per door.
ie. Focal and Dyn midbass drivers next to each other on the doors...playing the same frequencies.

Do you think it's possible to make it work...like sound good?
Okay well, how about if the midbass drivers were cut off at 500hz?

Even if you crossed them both at 500hz you'll always have one set that starts rolling off earlier than the other, different peaks, etc. It would only work if you had two midbass drivers that could reproduce a completely flat signal. Just try playing two different home stereos side by side and you'll see how it sounds - terrible. Although I've seen cars with different brand same size mids up front and in the same car different brand 12" subs firing different directions.... wtf?

Maybe its best to go back to mixing your Beam and coke dude

it may sound fine... but probably not with them right next to each other... maybe if they were seperated abit, and in seperate enclosures, maybe one sealed, and the other free air

I know one way to find out its really no different to having rear speakers (ok, its somewhat different)

ohh.. and....



*shrugs*

Mmmm yes!!! Yummy!

Well, I never heard it before, so its not such a bad question is it?
