New 6x9's

[vanderz]

Im looking to buy a new set of 6x9's but i really dont know what to choose!

Ive seen 2 pairs that i like;

Infinity Kappas 693.7i
Vibe QB69 QBass

Just wondering if anyone can give me any advice on wich ones too choose?

Or a better set at the 100 Pound Price range.

Cheers Vanderz

What he said ^^
I wouldn't even pay £10 for 6x9s nomatter who made them

 

[elgrego]

he asked which one's to buy, not whether you like 6x9's cos your just wasting his time! I'd look at a set of cerwin vega's mate.

Sorry to put a cat among the pigeons but I had complete opposite intentions there...

The guy asked for advice!
My comment is based upon maximising potential for better sound quality - not just an opinion.

Just out of intrest why wouldnt you buy 6x9s ?
Im new to all this, aint got a clue what im doing!
So any info is helpfull

The sound 6x9's produce isn't as good as the sound produced by a normal round speaker.

Not all 6x9 are bad ..just depends on which one's and where/how they are mounted. I have heard focal and cdt (cliff designs) component 6x9's with sep x overs in the front of a ka running of a genni duel mono and both soounded very good.

It has been put to me in the best phrase I could imagine;
"a good install can make even the sh1t audio equipment sound good"

6x9s are commonly mounted in the rear of cars, in the parcel shelf or hidden in C-Pillars.
Some do have the ability to produce a little more bass than components and coaxils, so some people would choose them rather than opting for a sub in the boot.

It is unbelievable how many people have ignored their mates advice against 6x9s just for the.. wait for it...

"nah I'm not changing them - it looks leathal in the back window" :nono:

I have some fitted to a stealth shelf as I wanted some more bass than the standard rears would provide.

Without wanting to go down the seperate amp route they've done the job perfectly, I only wanted them to add some bass to the system, which they have done.
