6x9's in back of LB

[Spades]

just keep in mind that while 6x9's offer more bass at lower volumes than 6.5" speakers when you are dealing with cheaper products, the only reason is because the 6x9 has more cone surface. at louder volumes, the cone will be more prone to distortion as the cone flexes because the speaker is not round.

with that being said, i am a fan of running a cheap free air 6" subwoofer in place of the factory speakers and instead of a 6x9 and then buying a set of quality components for the front. you want your sound comming from the front and not the back in the case of higher frequencies, low bass doesnt matter.

with that being said, bang for buck, if you are broke and have very little money and want more midbass, i suppose hacking a 6x9 into the back of a car is not a bad idea, but personally, i would spend my money on a couple good woofers or subwoofers in the 5" to 7" range and a set of cheap low pass filters and source any remaining funds to some half decent components for the front.

I already installed pretty good 6.5's in the front. I just know from experience that 6x9's tend to put out a decent amount of bass all things considered. So a decent pair should be able to relegate distortion to a higher volume and bring in some good bass at the same time. I plan on putting in a sub at some point but for now I need a little more bass than even my quality 6.5's are putting out in the front. The mids and highs sound incredible in the front so all I want is a little bit of a kick coming from the back doors. It will be a fun project so I am also looking forward to that!
