Would it be ok to run some 6x9s from a standard headunit?

200W, 3 way, 4 ohm

i cant help myself 6x9's bite ass. Sorry i cant help myself. Annnyyywaaayy...

Yes they will run, they will be quiet and sound will be poor, you will be vastly under powering the devils children i mean 6x9's

they wont be playing anywhere near their full potenital and the sound quality will be poor as your running them off a head unit which has crap output.but if your really want to run them off a standard head unit they will work i suggest you get an aftermarket head unit or an amp to power them

yeah that would work but mate i would look on ebay you could get a much better quality headunit at a similar price, have a look at alpines ones, cant really go wrong with one of them

or try www.caraudiodirect.co.uk, halfords is a shite place to buy ice usually over priced like most things in there

lol, 6x9s aren't my preference but as I have virtually no money they'll have to do.

Went for a job interview today at IKEA which went quite well so should be able to get some decent front speakers at christmas.
