Default What are your options for 6.5" subs?
From reading the stickied thread on top I've gathered that Rockford Fosgate and JL Audio both have 6.5" subs that are somewhat high quality. If you want a good quality 6.5" sub, what are your options?

That sticky needs to be updated.
The JL and RF models are discontinued. We are now in search of another.
Couple of people have mentioned the Audiobahn MD60, and others have kicked it to the curb because it was said to sound bad. So the search goes on.

I had Kicker RMB6 6.5 midbass speakers, worked great till i blew them. I may just delete the 6.5s and put in a actual sub in the hatch area.

I cant belive no one has said mb quarts.

Put quarts in the corners crossed over 100hz and up
Then get a JL 10" stealth sub crossed over to 120hz and down.

Excellent setup
