Default Lower faring speakers.
Looking at a few mid range speakers. Any feed back or negatives would be great. Going to use in the lower faring. Thanks
First choice: Rockford Fosgate Punch Pro PPS4-6
Second choice: Soundstream SM2.650
Third choice: SoundQubed QP=MR6.5

The RFs are loud as hell so if that's what ur looking for then that's not a bad play. The magnet is massive.

Brother it really depend on just what the rest of your system consist of. You really want something in the lowers to compliment what the rest of your setup consist of including what amp will run those lowers.

Have Kappas XI 2 ohms. In the rear. Front faring going to run Hertz HCX 165 6.5 2 way high energy speakers 4 ohms. AMP is a M4-3000D. Going to run the lower faring speakers parallel with the upper faring speakers.That's the reason for me asking about the mids. I want some that are close in specs and yes provides bass. Looking for recommendations Thanks
