SR6500 vs. SR5250

Well, I've been lucky now - I'm gonna get my hands on some SR6500's!
But I'm wondering, since I'm gonna use a two way front system with the
woofers in the doors and tweeters on dash, what is the big difference here?
I'll try switching out the SR5250-woofers with the 6500's when I get them, just
place them the same place and try to tune it right. But what should I expect here?
Also, how does the SR6500-woofers work as clean midbass speakers?
I have plan on running a three way front system later, with the 6500's
running in the doors (like 40-200hz or something), and the SR5250's in
the dash - together with the tweeters. It's not gonna be very soon tho.

Well? Anyone got any answer? I may try a couple of Tang Bands (2") on the dash,
playing down to around 1khz, and with the SR6500's down in the doors under 1khz.

The 5250's have better midrange but the 6500's have far superior midbass.
And yes, the 6.5's work very well as dedicated midbass drivers. A 3 way setup with the 5.25's as mids and the 6.5's as midbass would work great.polkaudio sound quality competitor since 2005

Nice, thanks for reply. I'm looking forward to try 6500's - though the drivers I'm getting
isn't even broken in yet, so I can't expect a lot of midbass in the start you know.
Wow, and I thought the SR5250 had great midbass - better than many 6.5" woofers I've heard,
but if the SR6500's has "far more superior midbass" than the 5250's, then I can't wait to hear it!
