You should still run subs and use 8"s for midbass......
Sub/midbass crossover around 70
Midbass/component mid crossover at 500-1k
That would be the best. But the 8"s have to be up front in order to not fukkk up the soundstage. |

I think the RL-i are cleaner, and still got louder than I expected for 8s. As for the DD, I did not use it in the right install situation, and it still got fairly loud. It was in a small sealed box, which is not DD material  ...but it still sounded pretty good. I would not hesitate to use either of them. |

Good choice, 10"s are the smallest speaker I would use for sub bass |
