| Which speakers are higher efficiency? None of the loudspeakers listed is a good match. Sure music will be made but amp will alter frequincy responce plus amp will be clipping much of the time. 4-6k You have options for a proper matched loudspeaker. Since I manufacter such loudspeakers... | |
| Crossovers, Internal or External? External can have benifits. Maybe this would offer slight sonic benifit on your ML. But probly not much. Plus greatly reduces resale value. And will void any warrenty. The deflex will not be as effective since its for a woofer. Deflex is best for ... | |
