good price ill let you know when im sure ! thx

 

kicker makes a 6" sub.

 

Why would you waste your money on a 6 inch sub? If I'm gonna spend money on an extra sub woofer I will make dam sure it has a frequency of 20 or below.

 

What the hell do you listen to that has information below 20 hz? Or even down to 20 hz?

 

this is going to be my mid bass sub for up front. there will be a w7 in the back...

 

hmmmm, interested... 6" sub?

Sorry, I had to

Back on topic....there are SQ guys who use those Focal Subs for SQ systems. Theres an E46 with 4 up front, and a Lincoln LS with a pair (one in each door) for SQ. I would not use that driver or a 6W0 for midbass - they are designed as subs. I would also keep from using a mono midbass...that should be kept stereo...

 

what would you suggest to run a focal 5ws for midbass?

see my post above...don't use them for midbass....

Not only are they not suited for sealed, they also can't go free-air (you want a QTS of at least 0.5 and up around 0.6 or higher is better - that focal is down at 0.36). That leaves you with a 5+ liter ported box...not very big, but something to keep in mind.

I returned it...

 

A friend of mine put a 6W04 into the factory enclosure in his M coupe. he blended in a proper mdf spacer on to it and lined it with dynamat extreme. no idea what it's tuned at but it has a lot of output and sounds alright for a sub just stuffed into the factory ported enclosure.

We did a 01 porsche 911 c4 with 3 6w08s in sealed behind the seat and under the glass, with the baffle on a 45 degree angle towards the floor. it sounded pretty sweet.

I've also heard two 6w04s in a ported box that hit 133.4 dB off real music with 100w rms per sub.

6" sub, JL audio.
