to my understanding, its basically a dedicated speaker for the mid bass frequency ranges 80Hz-200Hz i think (probably wrong lol)
they help by removing the need for the mid-range speaker to produce mid-bass which can alter the sound of the mid-range being produced, due to the speaker trying to replicate different frequencies at the same time. the result is the mids sound better because they are not having to produce mid-bass at the same time, and you can now independantly alter the amount of midbass you need (assuming you run them from a second amp).
im sure MD or pablo would have a better answer

hard to know really without trying it.
do you think you need more mid-bass? get it on an RTA and see if its lacking in any areas and what you could do to impove it

Midbass is the important part of the audible frequency range that fits in between bass (rumbly stuff) and midrange (saxophones, pianos and vocal).
The reason people focus on midbass, is because it tends to make music feel more 'real' - listen to a snare drum on your car stereo and then listen to it in real life.
A system lacking midbass will sound disjointed, the bass will be thumping and the midrange will be playing, but they will seem like two different entities coming from two different places - midbass helps to merge the two together - with good midbass upfront, it should sound as if your subwoofer is in your dashboard.
It's not as simple as just buying a set of speakers classed as midbass, in order for them to work right they must be installed well - fixed solid and with lots of sound deadening.
Bass gives presence
Midbass gives a sound sytem kick
Midrange gives it richness
Highs give detail
Before running out and buying some midbass speakers, make sure you have already made the most of your existing components by installing them in a well sealed and deadened door -done properly a set of 6.5" components can supply sufficient midbass for a competition winning system.

dependent on style of music you listen to most? i'm no ice expert but, don't you setup your system, in such a way that bass, treble etc. is delivered wherever you want it? Similar to playing with power in the rev range?Boydie said:
you disappoint me boydie, i thought you knew of such matters.

I'd disagree there, it doesn't matter what type of music you listen to, the person who recorded it wants you to hear it the way they do...live - if your system lacks in an important area, like midbass, then it won't do their music justice. It's somthing you can't appreciate until you've been in a car that has been properly prepared and built for high end audio.
And it's not possible to set a sytem up to sound right if it doesn't have all the right bits - in tha same way "you can't polish a turd"
well, like i said, ice isn't my strong point. i'm coming from a budget perspective, where you would aim quality at a certain area ie bass (for listening to mostly 'drum n bass'), rather than spending more for an 'overall' good quality setup.Mark_D said:
