I have a question for anyone that was competing in the mid to late 90's. Was there as much emphasis on midbass in your systems back then? I was looking through some old issues of Car Stereo Review and CA&E for some ideas on drivers for my old school SQ install. I saw LOTS of MB Quarts specifically the .02 and .03 series, these speakers don't have the reputation for midbass that the newer designs have. What was done? More EQ'ing? Sealed kicks and doors??

No. This Strong of Mid Bass is a 2001 plus thing. Although my 1994 system had a/d/s/ 6.2 Mid Bass Drivers in each door. \:\)

Midbass and subbass didn't exist during that time. It was all about midrange and highs.

Up until around 2002 at least many people were still using Focal 5 1/4" subs as their only subs. While tonally those things are very nice, they don't have the output you would want today as your only subs.

Midbass, from what I can tell, is really in the last 3-4 years turning into the thing everyone wants. A few vehicles, well one in particular, showed how nice it can be, and people starting following suit.

Now we have some vehicles out there that the midbass in is absolutely incredible in output. I mean it is amazing.
