New member Username: King33Post Number: 4 Registered: Nov-06 | would you recommend just replacing the 6x9's or getting the adapters, and putting in some 6.5's? |

You can change those 6x9 if you want. But rearfill is note necessary, read about rearfill on www.wickedcases.com made by glasswolf. Check old school 4 channel amps for components like ppi, hifonics, orion... |

New member Username: King33Post Number: 5 Registered: Nov-06 | So it sounds like I need highs lows and mids. highs are from tweeters, lows are obviosly from subs, are the mids from my door speakers? |

New member Username: King33Post Number: 7 Registered: Nov-06 | would 240 watts be enough for my amp to power the speakers? |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 4316 Registered: Oct-05 | you need to look at the rms of the speakers, then go from there. the best option would be to get a nice component set for up front, powered by an amp |

New member Username: Hhs_kidPost Number: 4 Registered: Nov-06 | Look, if you want low deep bass, you'll need a sub no matter what. The tweeters take care of the highs which are really directional, the mids take care of like the voices and most music, and the subs for bass. Yes, you can get ok bass from 6x9s but it won't get loud and will not be sound quality bass. It will be muddy, distorted bass. Rearfill is just a filler for some sounds in the rear but most, if not all, of your music should be coming from the front stage. We can't tell where bass comes from so just put the subs in the trunk. As for getting speakers that get loud, that's up to your ears to decide. Just stick with reputable brands and none of that cheap sh*t. Yes, you will need to power your speakers with a seperate amp for optimum performance and it will need to be at least the rms rating but don't go more than 5 watts over rms rating. It's better to overpower your speakers/subs by a little bit than to underpower them at all. Sorry for a long post but hey, go and listen to speakers you like and want. Personally, I have Polk db650's because they're cheap and have pretty good sq. My subs are the Polk db212-2 box powered by their 500.1 amp. My speakers are powered by a Kicker 350.4 amp. There are many good, cheap brands out there so you won't be disapointed. |
