hey guys

im getting really sick of my subs i have 2 12" JBL subs at 350 rms 800watt max but theyre wayy to heavy and keep sliding around so i wanted to know a GOOD set of 6x9 speakers that would give me both sound and thump (btw the 6x9s are going to be amplified with an insignia 200 rms 500 watt max amp)

i want these speakers to replace my subs but still act as speakers (hard to explain but is this possible?)

i wont mind if i have to make my 6x9's into subs and use my front as regular speakers

as you can tell i dont know much about sound so ya

why not just tie down your subs with some rope or bungee cords so they don't slide everywhere?

its the weight they weigh a good 50-70 pounds

How about 1-12"sub&box & 2 bungee cords.
That's only 25lbs to 35lbs and... you wont go as def as you would with 2-12" subs.

Save yourself some cash sell the bigger box and sub... recession time... init

I've still got 2 Audiobahn 10's in a custom box from my old car if you're interested. 600 w bandpass, they hit nice and hard and they were only used for a year. Let me know

Since nobody has mentioned this I will tell you that there in no way you can make a pair of 6 X 9's mimic any type of subwoofer. Oval speakers are only to appease the silly carmakers, see domestics, who somehow decided that a nice thin parcel shelf was the easiest way to mount speakers. Thus was born the 6 X 9. I am not sure I have heard one that sounds really good. You couldn't pay me to remove any sub, no matter how bad it was and replace it with a boxed oval speaker. If weight and size is a concern why not go with a single sealed eight and secure the box to a side panel so it doesn't flop around. Oh and when describing a speaker, the wattage means nothing. A 250W speaker is no louder than a 20W speaker. Its the amount of wattage entering the driver and the drivers inherent sensitivity rating that determines the volume of the sound emanating from the speaker. Most of those ratings are only there to sell speakers and mean nothing in the real world. Drivers can handle alot of wattage if its undistorted but given distortion and my 3 watt per channel tube amp could fry that speaker in a hurry.

I had these pair of JBL GTO937 6x9's and they were just amazing. I think you will like them but they are discontinued and not to many ppl have them in stock nowadays.

What you are looking for are 6x9's that are not 2-ways or 3-ways but good luck finding a aftermarket pair cause they dont make them like they use to back in the days. Rockford Fosgate had something like that back in the days like 10yrs ago.

im really considering 2 8 inch subs and nail them to my side panels i was told theyre fairly light and in a way it sorta balances out my car (i guess)

i also saw a sub with an amp attached (it was in a cylindrical shape) i was considering putting that under my seat

Try to find a bose system for sale. my buddies mk3 jetta with bose sounds very good. not sure about the speaker count but as far as i remember 4 tweeters in front, 2 speakers in front doors. 2 speakers in rear dash and 2 tweeters in rear doors. has an amp, and that sounds very good. if i had that, i would not consider getting a sub. ofcourse you cannot replace a sub with bunch of speakers but in my opinion a good speaker setup is sufficient to regular music listening and unless you need to feel the bass changing your heart beat rate, subs are a waiste.

i personally like the pulses i get from a sub lol

my brothers stock prelude speakers pump nice. you feel it in your body, but its not like when you forget how to breath. lol

I feel your pain. I'm getting annoyed with the big box in the trunk (sucks when you can't use the trunk).

So im looking to put a 8" or 10" single coil sub behind the wheelwell off to the side with the amp on the other side.

No more crap in the back seat!

bengali548

space isnt a big issue for me i just feel it when i enter a turn like its not responsive or i have to be cautious cuz if i take a turn too sharp the box slides =(

i would try and retro fit 8 inch subs into my side panels in the trunk but id probably lose out on quality cuz i wouldnt get the right specifications

right now im trying to look for those cylindrical subs with the amp installed i heard they weigh like 10 pounds

D.T.P

when i had my subs, i used the back seat seatbelts stretched to the trunk to hold them back. then had a bolt holding the seatbelts together. ghetto i know, but since i hardly ever have backseat passangers it was fine.

My 2 12''s fit snug in the box in the back of my trunk. Its heavy as hell though.

^^ Power to weight ratio. Since civics don't have huge v6/v8 motors the extra weight will kill your acceleration. Unless you are happy with all show-no go.

i have 2 10s .. pumps nice.. had quite a few set ups before, but i don't mind the weight of these .. the tube you're thinking of is it a bazooka? cause they aren't that good and no way it's 10 lbs cause that would mean the magnet is tiny as f .. generally sub+amp combo boxes don't fair well .. and don't think any sub would fit under the seats
