Peerless VS JBL
At the moment I am undecided. I am trying to choose between running 3 JBL 4.5" midbasses on each side in my car to boost my midbass, or a single Peerless 6.5". Power handling is roughly the same for the three versus the one when combined, frequency response is about the same, but the triple 4.5's have more displacement(.190L vs .165L). For the same cost, should I go with the triple 4.5" midbasses? I have adequate power for either combination.
Help! This is the first time I've been undecided on something like this but I want to get them ordered today. Currently I am leaning toward the triple JBLs, but I'm not completely sure. BTW the JBLs are 7 bucks a piece on sale, while the peerless is 18 bucks on sale.
Thanks!

Re: Peerless VS JBL (Metal Wulf)
i'd go for the 6.5"
Besides, I like going against the norm.
I am also going to full active crossovers when I do this, so that should help things a lot too.

Re: Peerless VS JBL (Metal Wulf)
it'll look cool 
why not a pair of 6.5's on each side, or an 8" ?
I just can't see 4.5s acting as a midbass no matter how many you have...

I just like multiple driver installs, and I am somewhat limited on the amount of depth that I have, and as it is, I am going to end up chopping up most of my door on each side, in addition to building pods. The 4.5's also have a better response in the smallish enclosure that I have room for.
It is gonna look pretty sweet.
