I just want some more midbass to enhance the front stage and blend with the sub, I don't want to localize the rear midbass to a point that I can set in the seat and point the rear mids out...
when I was runing midbass it was because the 80-100hz midbass punch in my system was lacking, the substage was ungodly in the 30-40 hz range but above 60 it sounded real bad and didn't hit you in the chest, if you cross higher than 200 you risk the chance of pulling the soundstage behind you, and also risk a boxy sound (250-500)

Cool, I just ordered the 200Hz LP 12db, HU is set at 63Hz or 80Hz, i'm still playing with the two, anyway... rear midbass will be at 63Hz or 80Hz to 200Hz, both at 12 db slope....

Thanks....

Sure did, well moved the bottom of the upper back forward with the seat lift..
I just used 2" wide strips, 1/8" steel plates pop riveted with (2) 1/4" body rivets to extend up from the factory slots to catch the 3 top clips on the seat...

works like a champ, the only problem is the head rest can only go up one notch and no more, they hit the back glass and stop, no big deal to me...

Seat angle is more comfortable now to... so I'm told.. I never ride back there..

Well, I have been going though and getting all my hunting gear together this evening, muzzleloader season starts tomorrow and I'll be in my tree stand before sunrise waiting for the monster buck with a rocking chair on his head to come by me....

I wonder if I record a grunt call on MP3 and play it at 1200W, if he will come to the truck....

Oh well, got to goto bed or I'll never get up a 4:30 in the morning....

Well, the elusive Big Buck is still loose... All I saw was a doe I jumped going in and couldn't get the scope on her before she went in a thicket. rest of the day was squirrels, plenty of these tree rats... I often wonder what a 50cal sabot hollow point would do on a tree rat....

Styx, circuit breaker for what, where?
