So scott, ok your saying 6x9s are absolutely shit and are no good at all becasue they arent even shaped cto work efficently , but i put this to you surely they do there job because otherwise why would they be sold or brought? (im no specialist by the way im just interested in the topic) there must be a place people can put there 6x9s that they can be used effectiley?

Why must there be? Why are they sold: people buy them, why are they bought: because people dont know any better and beleive the sales blurb.

Im not saying they are no good at all, im saying there is far better

6x9's are usless with subs, they look ugly, sound shit and are a waste of money. if your going to have any speakers in the back have components running off a amp which is set to mid and hi-range(i dont know proepr way of putting that lol)

ok thats fair enuf im honestly shocked tho that for aso may years ppl have put 6x9s in the parcel shelf for nothing!!!

its clear marketing, look at all the performance mods sold to people that dont do what they claim, same with most things unfortunately :(

yeh thats true i never thought of it like that, shit!! late off my break see you all tomorrow

Sorry iv just read this thread, so r 6x9's completly useless or only if u have a sub in the boot aswell? Iv had 6x9's for years and they have always sounded fine? But them Im no expert...

lets straighten this out.

No, 6x9s are not completely useless. There are far better alternatives but if you personally like them go for it.

If using 6x9s in a parcel shelf with sub in the boot they are going to clash,, no questions its physics. You will also be damaging them, they may last years maybe not.

Im not speaking and jsut following the crowd, i used to have 6x9s, in fact i even had 4 of them way back when i was a youth when i didnt know any better. I then researched and changed to sub at the back and components up front and there is absolutely no comparison for sound quality and the volume that the sound quality is kept to. I now have spent a fair wedge on just sub and amp and the back, 17cm components and amp for the front and its never sounded better

scott you got any pics of you ice install

i took my 6x9 out after a week ocs they were crap no one should put them in there a waste ov time

i think i have the solution to the 6*9 problem!

i know, i know....... i'm v smart. lol

I hope them subs are designed to run free air (IB).

I reckon you car will get broken in to in no time at all aswell!

nah i dont think you do....hope you was joking! that parcel shelf will make more noise than the subs!

it used to till i shucked two support struts under her, also put insulation and acoustic carpeting over it so it's a tight fit and no rattles! as for free air subs...... i hve no idea, but they are big and the boot is small so she's all good! :-)

If they aint free air subs maet there not going to last long!

what you actually running them off?

Won't they just rattle lots and shake the parcel shelf even worse than the 6x9s would?

well
 

i have 6X9s in my shelf and it sounds ok.i also have a bass box and a 450 amp on the bk of it but i want
all new sound system as some of my tunes dont sound the same can any 1 post or send me a few ideas on how to get the best sound in my car and alsoa few photos of any nice lay outs in the boot cheers

Ok i don't get ne of this lads, If 6x9's are not very good, why are they prodiced in the first instance? Why dont all cars just come with a good set of front speaker and a woofer in the back? or why dont these companies just sell really good front speakers expensively. Why do 6x9's exist at all if they arent very good?

I used to have just a set of fron sony xplods and a sony xplod sub and amp and it was ok, then i got a set of 6x9's (450w) and it sounded a hundred times better. When i got the saxo, i put all that in there, Plus a set of 3 way sony xplod 6x9's and the sound is fantastic.

We get dynaudio in to do some of the cars at our work because its an optional extra and the sound in my saxx is better than something that cost neartly a grand as an optional extra onb a brand new car. plus, when were out camping or that, theres nothing better than setting up my saxo with the boot open the parcel shelf down and cranking up the sounds for a good old partt. So how can 6x9's be, essentially worthless?

firstly i wou;ldnt touch sony

if people buy 6x9s of course they will sell them

blame max power and mags alike :P


also if you havent heard a proper install of course youll like yours :)
