I'm looking for 6x9's to replace my shot factory ones. Trick here is I want ones with lots of bass (good for hip hop and electronic, etc) because I don't want the hassle of running subs. Subs are not an option because of weight, hassle of installs, and it's more reason to have my car broken into.

Not looking for showstoping sound or anything, just some nice clear 6x9's that have a lot of good base. Any suggestions?

clear and 6X9 dont go in the same sentence

as for bass, there alright but ive never liked 6X9 youd prolly be better off mounting from free air 8's under your rear deck but thats some extra work

so id at least say go for some kicker 6X9, they make some midbass esc for that

round is usually > eliptical speakers.

jigsaw that rear deck out for some 8 inch bass in the back of the head, it's only a cavalier anyways.

lol

you wont get "bass" from 6 x 9's, only midbass pretty much.

The rest belong in Classifieds, - Matt

just cut out the back seats and put 2 15's!!

like Bruno said, it's only a cav..

Then you haven't heard the Infinity 6x9's. (still lacks the bottom end though)

imported_loudsubz

oh Ive heard the infinity 6X9 and still dont like them

most infinities ive heard are way to bright

PULOVR

That's the crossover's fault. I never use the crossovers that come with the speakers......unless they are MB Quart spearkers.

scarlemthug

what about cdt, rainbow and koda crossovers?

6 x 9's can be clear but they just arent the same as a component set for mids and highs and not the same as a sub for lows.

PULOVR

I already know that, but you guys keep forgetting what Promoking asked for.

As for bass......no, a 6x9 can't complare to the output of a 10 or 12, but if they are put into an enclosure (instead of freeair), they can have some half decent bottom end to them.

exactly pulovr. Get those speakers into an enclosure and the base will improve. If they will fit you could try the JL 6.5" sub. You won't hit 20hz, but it will be better than a 6x9.

There is nothing wrong with running a sub if you plan it out correctly. The only hassle is the hassle and cost, but that is the cost of getting bass. I wanted bass without losing my trunk - that was a big hassle, but well worth it. You have to decide how much you want bass and what you are willing to compromise.

just swap in some 6 x 9's, way easier on the wallet and it will do for daily im pretty sure.

imported_loudsubz

do what Chris mentioned

but..

if your not running an amp to the 6X9 dont bother spending alot of money on some 6X9 you wont gain much at all running them off deck power.

hmmm this is an interesting thread... ghetto sub ... take 1 6X9 speaker .... in a standard speaker box for it ... then place a 18" by 18" by 18" box over it with handles cut out on 2 sides near the top .... and you have Gatherer's Ghetto Sub.... I used to do this in highschool.... when I worked Back Stage for THeatre productions ... Damn budget cut backs .... then again I was only doing it for something to do when I was board and experimenting with sound.

and Scarlemthug seems to have been owned ... not once but twice in this thread ...but thats besides the point

scarlemthug

ouch I got owned by matt but who owned me the second time?:S

imported_loudsubz

dont mean to do that to ya chris I just like to see selling activity to stay in the right parts of the forum

Heck PM the guy a million times, but just not in here k, hope we fixed this.

scarlemthug

yup i totally understand man, woops, didnt notice the second time u edited my post. bastard

imported_Promoking

Yeah it's a daily driver. I'm not really into systems either. No amp, a very modest deck (Alpine KDC 270 is what I think I picked up a while ago, still not installed). Getting the Infinity 3.5's to replace the stock dead garbage in the fronts, and yes I just want an exact replacement size speaker. I just want a decent amount of base thats pretty clear, unlike the crap that's in there now.

I was looking on sounddomain.com and the Pioneer REV TS-D690R, and Pioneer TS-A6960R speakers both got good reviews for the amount of bass these things had and how hard they kicked. Anyone have comments on these speakers?

Or should I just the Infinity 6x9's to match the 3.5's in the front?
