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?

Answered this already, they are produced because some rubbish sales patter and shit magazines like max power say they are wicked so people buy them. Same reason people buy these 4p resistors off ebay or beleive that an induction kit will add 20bhp
Why dont cars come like that: cost.
Sorry but you havent heard a good system if you think your Sony menage sounds better than something that cost a grand. They probably sounded so great as you were running poor front speakers off the head unit. Even the fact that you state 450w and what sounds like you were running them from the head unit is wrong all over.

and the argument continues
got to say i much prefer the sound of my £150 100RMS (2## MAX) than the £30 6x9s that where 300MAX and whatever RMS, so much clearer even when turned up!
even though im having a little trouble with the left one atm
swapped my 6x9s and shelf for a standard shelf, good deal IMO

Got JL 12" sub and amp in the boot with JL 5.25" TR coaxials in the front doors.
Disconnected tiny 4" rear speakers.
Sounds very good indeed!

get the 6x9s from theloudest.co.uk, there the dogs danglys mate, they are an independent audio company (not "marketed" in max power), apparently the 2000w 6x9s are supposed to be better than some subs, quality audio combined with amazing bass (no clashing), my mate works in an audio shop in central london and he even recommended them to me rather than spending a shit load on brand component speakers and subs. clearly not all theories are correct, anyway ill be settling for their 1000w range and some 6.5" front door speakers as i dont want my new car to be bouncing off the floor.

hahahaha theloudest.co.uk are the opitumum of cheap stupidly rated car audio.
Not with a large barge pole. Your mate works in an audio shop and recommended "2000w" 6x9s?! He should be sacked.

You have not heard decent car audio if you think they are perfect.

no, he recommended them as a whole as they are dedicated to just one thing, quality, and when parts can be shipped from taiwan..china etc... cheaply it doesnt count whos got the most expensive gear lol. instead of just having owned a few sound systems, show me your audio/visual qualifications and CV with over 8 years experience working with car audio. ofcourse theres a marketing element to everything, how do you think you found out about the overpriced component speakers you got, surely you are not the only one's who own them??

crystal clear when? when the volume is on 0?  i recommend you amp them, put bass up on full on your amp then put the volume up on your HU and blown them, they will sound crystal clear then  :

well im sure you'll be pleased to know that the amp is apart of the kit which infact does work hand in hand with the quality of the music being transferred from the headunit to the speakers

8 years experience and he doesnt have a clue?
Well that certianly overshadows my 8 years experience then doesnt it.
I dont need a training qualification to face facts.
As for my over priced system, i dont think it is. In fact i know its not. Compare my DLS R6A's and my RE Audio XXX to the pish you are looking at and there is no contest in quality or volume.

Also i dont care if you think the loudest are good or that 6x9s are great, but to recommend them to others as perfect is just wrong.

just had a quick flick back through about what you were talking about with concerts and stages, i think you will find they also provide equipment for such things.. i guess they really are just a cheap crappy little company.. anyhoo i shall let you know how they go and i will eat a subwoofer if i am terribly dissappointed with them.. also if i was going to spend serious money on component speakers i would go for mb quarts woo
