6x9s in front doors?

[Jimmy-Boy]

can you fit them in? if not straight fit how hard to wedge them in going to get some HQ ones to replace my SQ front components as they have 10% bass... and with no sub to keep the bass up im opting for the amped 6x9s..

my current amp:

ummmm i wouldnt recommend mate it will be some hassle making sure you getting enough power to the car and then customising your door panel's but if you really want to i dont see why not should work nicley

[claff]

They wont without making special pods for them as the metal door skin will get in the way of the magnet. only way i can see it working is if you have them in boxes and then cut a rectangular hole in the door car. slot the boxes in... they will stick out a bit so put them in a sensible place but whatever you do make sure they dont get in the way of your windows rolling down. i have never seen this done though so it may be impossible lol, should be able to work out if you can get it to work.

[Jimmy-Boy]

hmm ok, what other speakers can give some good bass kick then with the amp?

[Ashleyp]

6x9s are a coaxial

coaxials will never be as good as a component

[Jimmy-Boy]

yeah but ashley my rainbows are just to SQ i want bass now after having them Sq rainbows and my sub etc now i just got pure SQ and hate it.. don't want components again for the fact i need it as light as poss...

components arent meant to produce bass

although my rainbows have the mirrors shaking

if you want bass, but want it light.. then thats a fail lol

although, get some fibregash door pods built to house a set of 16 / 17cm comps, and whack some SPL comps in there

the bigger cone = more bass & bid bass whilst combined with an amp still weighing under 6kg

[Jimmy-Boy]

so no 13mm speaker will cut it? most speakers in standard cars i.e vauxhalls have all round good loudness with bass isn't there any after markets that are like this then?

vauxhalls run bigger speakers

SPL 5.2D offer good bass, so long as your running them with 100wrms @ 4ohm

far to shallow to have the power of a sub

a decent set of comps will be better

If you are after loads of bass then no there not that good but if you are just after a bit of top up bass then they are good. A set of comps wont give the bass that the under the seat subs can give.

Have you changed the set up of the amp sinse you took the sub out, if not set it to full and then have a play as you my still be getting just the hi end of the music through.

Well as a normall sub is too heavy it would have an effect

but worth the money? i think not

reevesy raised a good point regarding the filter though, may be on hi-pass!

[Claki]

IMO... My mate has some old amped up Infinity 6x9s and TBH... They sound brilliant, far better than my sub and front comps together and i thought i was an audiophile.

whats hi pass etc?

[EP82]

Agree with the infinity comment, I was running Infinity 6x9 speakers with a Vibe sub and jbl componinds and it sounded ace

will be a filter on your amp

LPF full HPF

for comps you should always run it on HPF when a sub is present, obv this isnt the case, so put it on full

[reevesy_vtr]

I think we may have found the problem..
