Call AA and see when more poly mids will be available. I'm VERY happy with mine.

Running them active 80-2500Hz. Plenty of presence and punch. I go out of my way to find songs with actual drums in them. Listened to Edgar Winter's - Frankenstein today at lunch time, decent drum solo about 1/2 way through the song, sounded amazing, and it's only an mp3.....

I'm pretty sure that CDTs are modified Vifa drivers. So you'd probably get more for your money by buying the raw driver instead of their branded one :)

I was looking at these for my rears. http://www.cdtaudio.com/M6_review_1.html

My previous sub was an AA Atlas 12 and I replaced it around six months ago with the AA Arsenal 12. I liked the Atlas quite a bit but the Arsenal is an outstanding SQL driver...by far the best sub that I've ever owned. So, needless to say, I'm a pretty big AA fan so the poly mids were a natural choice for me.

Chad and Dale have always treated me right so I'll continue to stick by them.

He just did a whole review section near the bottom of the page. The AA is on there.

hmmm i completely forgot about AA poly mids... i loved their 10" Assassins so maybe they might be the right fit for me :)

Funny, I was just about to recommend those based on another person's positive experience with their bang for the buck.

I was gonna recommend the AA 6.5" poly mids(which are actually closer to 7") but they're now out of stock.

I bought a pair on Saturday(which should be at my door in a couple hours) and I checked their online ordering system again on Monday to find them unavailable. Chad assured me that my pair would be getting shipped out later that day(and they were) so I obviously snagged one of the last sets :thumbsup

Sorry I didn't get back to you right away, was gone for awhile after work.
The idea on sealing the door is to isolate the front and rear waves of the speaker. Them combining could cause cancellation. You probably don't want to seal the door up to make it like a sealed enclosure (good luck with that, hell of a time doing it :) ). I've read too many stories of people sealing their mids and losing a ton of midbass. Just make sure you mat and ensolite your doors up real well. Cover any holes in your door that may let air through to the front. Mount the driver on a baffle (just a mounting ring should work ok) and attach the baffle to your door. Some people recommend de-coupling the driver/mount from the door using soft modeling clay, I guess to help with vibrations, but I'm not sure about its effectiveness or validity (never tried it myself).
I would suggest going with the 7 and not the 8. You'll probably lose too much precious midrange with the 8. You're already losing enough by going with the 7.
