Wow there are a few audio guys here, awesome.

Pretty solid advice thus far. Midbass is the most difficult thing to do in a car bar none due to road/tire noise, wind noise, exhaust etc.

I used to love my horns from way back, and Hart 6" mids with magnets larger than today's 8's lol.

Power plus frequency control/optimization and a well thought out installation will trump pretty much what 90% of your typical "audio" shops will provide you. It is difficult enough to manage a highly reflective interior, unequal path lengths, and a biased seating position without introducing 4 speakers attempting to play the same frequency range.

G'luck with the installation, plan on lurking here a bit. Looking for some advice on a 65/66 Mustang installation. Thinking 4" mid/tweet combo in the kick and a 6.5" midbass pair in a custom built console. Just need to find the right mid to play down to 200-250hz to keep vocals in the right origination point. Any advice is welcome

Thanks

Installing speakers in the kick panels and then the console would open a huge can of worms. You would lose any stereo affect and create weird acoustical anomalies in doing so. CDT is my preferred brand They will handle what you want and then some. I 6.5" and tweeter would be a very efficient setup without creating unwanted complications. KISS is the method I like to follow, especially with car stereo installations

I would do at least a 5" in the kick and a single sub-woofer in the center consol. Either firing down, back or into the cab. That gets your x-over around 80hz, down firing the sub in the directions will also void any phase or weird EQing issues this would bring up. There are several 6" subs that can work well for this application.

This is kind of how my camaro will be built, and I WILL be competing in SQ in it. To ease the install, you may want to look at the Morel Integra speakers, these are a point source driver with a separate tweeter flushed at the cone. Basically its a coaxial, with none of the timing or phase issues, and can run separate power to the tweeter and midbass.

If your stuck on 4" the ARC Audio Blacks will play down to about 180-160, I have them at 160 in my competition vehicle, also the renaissance audio WR4 plays down to about the same.

Hope this helps more than confuses...
