New member Username: PhergusAtl, Ga Post Number: 4 Registered: Sep-05 | I am overwelmed with all the options, I would like Infinity speakers, and I have heard a few times that 6.5s, becuase they are round, will give better sound than 6x9s, because they are oval. So how much of a sound diffrence will it be? I want to still have some Bass, tho I'm not like most 17 year olds and want all bass and a shitty sound. So would it be better to get 6.5 Infinity Kapas in the front and back or get 6x9s in the back. thanks -greg |

If you want better imaging you could run two sets of components, that way the tweeters in the rear will be firing at the passengers in the back seat. However the only down fall to this is that they are more difficult to mount in a convient location in the back as opposed to the front. 6x9s wont sound horrible, but if you want that extra edge, def go with a good set of components all around, even a co-ax pair in the rear would be a good compromise. |

grease Unregistered guest | If you want sound quality, then stick with 6.5 in the rear, or nothing for a front stage effect. I have heard that 6x9's are sort of like a cheap-ish solution for a sub. |
