will 6x9's fit in the back

I currently have eclipse poit source speakers in the rear deck. I'm considering on getting Alpine SPR-694A (6x9's) to go there so I can have some bass without getting subs. How will they fit?

1st: ewww 6X9's....
2nd: You aren't getting any bass from a 6X9. Spend $200 and buy a used sub / amp combo.
3rd: ewww 6X9's

in fact disconnect your rear speakers unless you need the fill and worry about front soundstage and then bass

for $125 plus shipping i can get you 2 10's in a box with a nice small amp. its my old system sitting here. it does not weigh too much and hardly takes up any space.

I already ahve subs but I took them out so I can save space and wright. But I was told the alpine type r's put out a decent amout of bass so I'm ocnsidering on putting them back there and amping them. otherwise I'll just leavin in my eclispe with absolutly no bass.

well the type r's will not save you much weight. they are about 20 per 12" sub. maybe a touch less.

They'll fit but you have to do a little griding. i have those alpine in the back of my car. The Type R are much better than the "S" you do get some bass from it too. i have them powered by a 4 channel apline and sound great!

Good luck

I've got 6x9's under my factory grilles in my 97 GXE. You'll have to open up the hole a little in the metal part of the rear deck, and cut a little of the cardboard part of the deck under the grille. Looks factory, sounds a little better.
