Inherited these speakers...

[B00mer]

I don't know anything about this sort of thing.

Are these any good? Just chuck them on the shelf or can they be boxed in the boot?

Any help or opinions appreciated.

 

[Djw John]

Just sell them on tbh

 

[B00mer]

Worth anything John? Their bloody heavy!

 

[Djw John]

ebay is free insertions this weekend! No idea but if someone offered me £20 for them I'd take it!

Are they 6x9's?!

If they are, they look like the BlackDeath ones, they ideally want to be amp'd to get the best sound out of them as they're 200W RMS and I'm assuming your HU only gives 40/50W RMS output!

But yeah, they're Vibe, so pretty good

Just had a look, the minimum input is 100W RMS, so really wont be good wiring them up to the head unit.

I could be interest in them if you decide to sell them.

My mate had a set of them in his 306 and they were f**king banging!!

Ideal if that's your thing.

 

[Dink]

they are a fairly decent 6x9's but 6x9's at the end of the day

you would definatly need to run them off an amp as a head unit will only output 25wRMS tops

They're worth a fortune, £100+. Keep them and amp them

 

[Djw John]

Really? Brand spanking new ones are £115. Qb69 (yes I went looking for more info)

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

£50 second hand, I meant they was about £119 new.

Any tips on a decent amp and anything else i may need if i was to set these up?

 

[Bluebeard]

You'll need a decent MDF shelf if you want them in your clio. They weigh a ton and the cardboard shelf of the clio will probably collapse at the first pothole! lol.

I really like 6x9's as they're dead easy to fit/remove compared to a sub/amp combo and offer lots of noise for a relatively minimal price.

 

[B00mer]

Never thought of that, Im on Vmaxx the things break my balls if i catch a pothole.

This amp, bridged (2ch) would be perfect for those speakers. http://caraudiosecurity.com/slick-stereo-4-v1-amplifier

Those are beauties. Can you handle them.

6x9's are an utter waste of time unless you like cruising the high street at night or whatever they do. All the sound comes from behind you. For proper sound quality you need a decent set of component speakers up front. In short, get rid IMO

They did a good job for me when my components broke

And I'm sure passengers enjoy them too

They are just speakers that are designed to be loud due to their shear size and output
