Damaged component woofer

JWPrendergast · 23rd July 2010, 12:17 PM

I have a pair of mb quart qsd 216's in my front doors. One of them got damaged recently. I was contemplating just changing out the 6 1/2 woofer for another woofer such as a (midrange only) 6x9, as it would fit in the 6x9 opening in my door without the need for modification. I wanted a bit more punch from my midrange/midbass and thought this might be able to do it. What are your opinions?

was looking at the X69 by ID. Not as concerned with the price.

How much mounting depth do you have available? Personally, I'm a fan of the Peerless HDS, Scanspeak, Hybrid Audio, etc...

Now would be a good time to go active, so you don't have to worry about the passive Xover anymore.

I have plenty of mounting depth. And as mentioned, not as concerned with price.
