pete - not true,

these are brilliant, but the are subs, not full range speakers.

On a whole tho, they are rubbish, buy a cheap sub and amp (2nd hand eg an re re8 and a cheap magant monoblock and youl be far far better off)

mate iv currently got a jvc headunit, magnat sub and amp, and some jbl 6x9s my 6x9s have f**ked up so i need some new ones, as my sub doesnt play singin it just plays bass!!

Pete what do you suggest I do instead of 6x9s?

if you do a search, you will find that a sub will damage the 6x9s and vice versa if installed in the same airspace (boot + shelf)

buy a decent pair of mids for the front, these are the speakers you LISTEN to, a sub is what you HEAR, by having a set of components up front the sound stage is brought forward, therefore creating a (in theory) fuller sound by fitting a set of full range speakers in the rear you are moving the soundstage towards the rear. this then creates a (in general) poor quality sound

rememer this, treble is directional, mid bass is on the majority directional and low end bass is non directional, when you go to a concert do you face away from the stage? i guess not, reason, the sound is clearer when facing the stage (oh and yuo can see the artist too)

in conclusion, all systems should have at least one amp, a decent head unit, a set of good quality front components and a sub. crossovers and a 2nd amp will also help, no moer speakers are required to create a good sound stage

Ok mate thanks for that, il consider it, are front speakerss hard t o fit? wire up?

 

[bambam1]

no they are very easy, use the existnig wires in the doors already, just accounting for the fact you will have new crossovers (if you get comps)

if you can read, you can fit speakers in the doors

 

[JoelDee]

ok mate thanks, how much can i get a decent pair of front speakers from then?
