that really isnt helpful? i dont see the need for petty wee comments like that?
6x9s are not as bad as you lot go on about! the reason they are so unpopular is people combine them with subs....a big no go!
however on their own, they are decent enough speakers.
they will give you adequate bass, something you wont get from coaxiles or components in the back!
with regard to fitting mate, you want to use the bottom of the speaker as a guide(sometimes there is cardboard you can cut out on the box to help)...then use a pen/pencil whatever....and draw out the shape.
then drill through the middle of the shape to start you off...then get a jig saw and cut out the oval shape.
then its a case of simple screwing in the speaker...then run the wire through to the back speakers....there is plenty gaps to fit through..easy if you look.
then just take out your rear coaxiles and join the 6x9s wire to the oem wire
ClioJohn - i have to disgree - MOST 6*9s are bad quality speakers deinged for mass market - the best IMO are the genesis 6*9 subs
6*9s will pull your sound stagiung backwards. they also DONT play bass - they can play mid not bass, (apart from subs in 6*9 shape)
front comps can give you sufficient mid bass - get larger cone - eg 6.5" cone. or get the jl 6.5" subs - that will give you some bass/mid bass
personally i dont feel a need for rear speakers - if you have a sub - if you want to spend some cash on your setrio to imporve it
firstly on the Head unit
then front comps
then amp
then sub
then another amp for sub - list goes on and on!!!
also just putting in 6*9 will make ur car more attractive to thevies - as they can see you speakers - so you should make them steath -costing moeny that could go into a sub/amp. also if you uprage - i would be surpired if you didnt -you have to get a new parcel shelf and get rid of the 6*9s or leave them in and let the sub break them.
cheers for the help, got 6x9s already so just wanted to know how to fit them, had some in my boyracer Nova and they were fantastic and they only cost me 20quid at the time, these ones were bought from pooch and are alpine ones and look like they will be perfectly adequate. cheers for the advice guys
