I have notice a few peeps on here wanting 6x9s and some saying they are crap and I thought I would take the time to explain things fully
A 6x9 is designed to be a speaker that can give you bass, mid and treble from one source
However as all Jack of all trades are the 6x9 is master of none
If you listen to a set of 6x9s then a set of components the difference is huge
There are some good sounding 6x9s out there, I had a set of infinity kappa 3 ways and they sounded great but they were in a designed enclosure to stop cancelation.
Also when you place 6x9s in a boot the air coming off of them can cause cancelation with any subs you are running. As you should know sound is made by vibrating air and it that air is affected the sound changes (If you have ever sung in the shower you can appreciate this weith the echos)
The same thing happens in a car
Also putting treble playing speakers in the back of a car is a waste unless you want surround
When you go to a concert do you turn round and face the wall with the stage at your back? No it would sound terribel and look stoopid!
The same is true in a car, why sepnd money making sound come from behind you? Invest all the funds you have in the front
Bass is omnisonic* meaning thet you cannot determine where it comes from You feel it more than hearing it which is why you can put it in the boot
Think about this before you buy some speakers
do you want to spend £200 pounds on components and 6x9s or £180 on some fantastic components that will be just as loud as 2 sets of speakers and sound better and have £20 for beer?
(* this might be the wrong word, I have had a boozy weekend lol)
