car audio: midbass

Midbass frequencies are usually from 80hz - 200hz. This is actually a very wide frequency range because it kinda covers sub-bass and kinda hits the vocal part of songs...

According to this: (taken from the EQ setting thread)
100hz( usually mid bass)
this is the hard bass sound, it gives drums that solid feel, boosting here will harden the drums/bass guitar, as well as adding warmth to guitars. A cut will reduce boom on guitar and add clarity.

200hz (either midbass/mid)
Boost to add warmth to vocals and guitar, reduce to clean up vocals

How to get more midbass:
1. Make sure that the frequency you want to hear is really within the midbass frequencies; you might be wanting to hear sub bass from your midbass, eh.
2. Set your X-over settings just right... 80hz to 200hz... or the lowest freq your midbass can actually handle.
3. Tweak your EQ settings to boost or cut the right frequencies... check this thread out --> http://www.kotseaudioclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9024
4. Deaden your doors
5. Try making an enclosure for your midbass speakers (it worked for me anyway)
