6 x 9's - Page 4 - Saxperience

Saxo-Slag · 7th June 2006, 23:49

I have 6x9's in my parcel shelf and 2 twin vibe subs. Wot i did was cut a vent in the middle ov the 6x9's. I then turn my amp and 6x9's off. The subs didnt even move the 6x9's. Think letting more air into the boot helped. Makes the subs sound better aswell. Even a ex sound engineer said it sounds wicked. I think its up2 the person about 6x9's. I have good front speakers aswell.

A sound engineer that approves of speakers shaped so they cant work as efficently and are trying to do an impossible job of reproducing the whole sound spectrum, kwality.

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?

Scott^p · 14th June 2006, 14:55

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)

Lee_P · 14th June 2006, 16:25

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

Scott^p · 14th June 2006, 16:27

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

Lee_P · 14th June 2006, 16:34

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

saunders · 14th June 2006, 16:39

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...

Scott^p · 14th June 2006, 23:14

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

Lee_P · 15th June 2006, 16:20

scott you got any pics of you ice install

liquid8 · 5th July 2006, 21:44

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

DaveWard · 6th July 2006, 20:55

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!

P23UNK · 6th July 2006, 21:37

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! :-)

DaveWard · 7th July 2006, 12:27

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

Baz · 7th July 2006, 12:29

what you actually running them off?

dave_richardson_161 · 10th July 2006, 20:50

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

brido · 18th July 2006, 19:49
