Why Not To Have 6X9's

DO NOT put speakers in the back (especially 6x9's they are usually designed to play loud but sacrifice quality for harsh treble)

Music coming from behind you only muddies sound

think about it....
do you goto a gig and stand with your back to the band? nope!
are your ears facing forward for a reason? yup!

a good pair of amped component speakers up front will do you

if you sometimes have people in the back then by all means uprate the speakers in the rear panels but have them running of the head unit amp and fade them out if no one is in the back.

you will be amazed at how good just a pair of componets up front with a good amount of power will sound.

as for subs in the boot and 6 x 9's you will kill the 6x9's the sub will be pounding the same air as the 6x9s and eventually they will die. take the 6x9's out re cover the shelf so the holes for the 6x9s let bass into the cabin

So - in summary

Dont have speakers in the back unless you take people regularly - if you must have speakers in the back run the off the head unit but fade them forward if noone is in the back

remove the 6x9's and recover the shelf this will let bass into the cabin

get a good 2 channel amp for your front speakers

i personally agree with jamie on this,i had them in my fiesta and aint even close to the 13cm components i have now.

i got 6x9's each to their own

this was taken from another site, as why it is in a quote but i do agree, the only time i would say to have 6x9 is if you DONT have a sub.

Mmm, agree and disagree lol. Its been done for so long and there is a reason for it. Givin a gig as example dont relly justify it for me. I want proof! lol

lol,, i completly agree,,, unless u sit in the back of your car driving they r complete waste of space,,,, subs in the boot yeah,,, but speakers r piotless

its not too bad in my car lol but being a mini its ok really lol..

my 6x9's are crap but have to put up with them until i can afford something else lol

ive recently took the sub/amp out of my car as it was just excess weight

we all know 6x9s arent the best, but its what is out there on offer, and i could hazard a guess and say i reckon most modifyed cars will have a set of 6x9s int he rear, they are just cheap and easy to use

i also agree with chris that 6x9 technology has improved, its had to!

until the tech heads create a 6x9 to create perfect sound from all 3 speakers, we will just have to make do with what weve got!...
