What would these be like in my rear deck?
here
Why 4 tweeters? I know 60RMS is low but atm i'll be powering them off my HU for a month or so...ya...where do i mount 4 tweeters in the rear of my car? just throw em all in the deck?


Or possibly these?
here
again i know they arn't that great but for rear fill?

what am i better off going with? the 6x9s i will have to cut the rear deck to get em in correct?


i know BB sucks. i have a BB gift card and rears arn't super important to me. i plan on some nice components up front...the rear will be for bass/midbass fill i think....

so anyone else run components in their rears?

 

the 4 tweets can mount on the woofer, they have that option
just go with something with the minimum amount of tweets
u just want the rears for fill, not too much highs.......

 

I've got a set of the 5.25" Punch Components in a set of Q-Logic kick panels and they sound awesome. They should work real well on the rear deck. They were designed for flexibility. You can use one tweeter on the driver as coax and one tweeter mounted externally as a component. Or you can use just one tweeter instead of both. However with the 6x9's you'll have more cone area on the driver and the bass might be a little deeper.

 

Seriously I would just buy some simple and cheap 6 1/2's for the rear and spend more money elsewhere like on better front components or a better amp for them. I don't even run rear fill and I really never miss it except when we are on long road trips with people in the backseat. Becuase of this I might put like 50 dollar speakers back there and have a switch to turn them on when I have passengers.

I wouldn't waste your time with trying to put 6x9 in the back yes it can be done but why bother especially if you can buy a size that fits plug and play.

 

you dont need rear speakers. since songs are recorded in stereo, stereo has 2 channels. your rear adds 2 channels. so 4 channels in a car. if you put 8's in the rear, that would be ideal.

 

rear speakers r a matter of preference. noone can tell u yes or no, such as "you dont need rear speakers"
just use stock rears for now.
then if u want, throw in some aftermarket ones
then, u can always amp them

i was always a fan for no rear fill till i amped new rear speakers. i fade to the front and would never go back to no rear fill. thats my opinion. try it first......

 

i went and bought some 4 way $100 Pioneers ...


cheap but should be better then the bose i have in there...comments?

 

that's fine that you think best buy sucks, but if that were the case, alpine wouldn't have completely pulled out of short circuit city and partnered with best buy. if you have a gift card, wait until feb. 13 when best buy launches alpine and buy some alpine type r 6.5's for the rear.

 

I have these speakers all around...they're good, but I'm not getting any bass out of them, so I'm thinking about getting Pioneer 6x9s in the back.

Is there any write-up on how to install 6x9 in a 4th gen? Is it just cutting a bigger opening and drilling new holes???

 

i hate rears unless theyre attenuated properly

i love the mainstream products in this forum

 

If you aren't getting any bass muravchik maybe you should get an amp for it instead of new speakers?

 

nothing will replace a nice sub. try adding a sub if you want more bass.

 

did you use speaker harnesses or did you cut the plug off and wire them directly to the speaker terminals? if you wired them, make sure your polarity is correct. speakers out of phase will definitely affect bass, i.e. one cone will push while one pulls, offsetting bass reproduction..

 

cancelation is a *****.
i'm about to buy my new amp...50x4 ball i need is my front components and if my deal on this eclipse HU goes through i'm in set!

 

I'm running 45 watts rms to the speakers, so thats not the problem. They hit pretty hard, but the bass isn't as deep as most people with 6x9s.

I actually had them installed professionaly, and being sort of a noob with electronics, i have no idea what you just said.

So to repeat my question, does anyone have, or know how to install 6x9s in the rear deck?

 

speaks arent for bass. subs are

 

If i were you guys i would buy an amp and amp the front speakers and leave the rears with the bose. for rear fill the bose will be bettere than those ****ty pioneers. If you are going to spend the money on rear fill i would buy these and amp them http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/2227 if not them just leave the rears alone and spend that money on the front imaging. Atleast with those you will have some kind of midbass and then your subs can handle everything these dont. just my 2 cents i think its dumb to have tweeeters in the rear spend the money on some better fronts.

 

if you really want 6x9's just go in there with a drill and a dremel and go to town. Use dremel to make hole larger and drill to punch in 4 new holes for the speakers.

If you are running 45 watts rms is that from your CD player/HU or from an actual amp. Could just be your amp is set so the lows don't get to the speakers. If it is an HU running it then no way you are giving it 45 watts rms. More like 20 watts.

 

i know someone that cut away at his rear deck in his accord for 6x9's.....took him alll freakin day and frankly i don't think it was worth it. a good round 6.5" will always sound better than a 6x9

 

yea...i dont think a hu alone can produce 45 rms

 

Its an amp that's powering all the speakers...I'll have to check out the specs of the amp to see what the lowest frequency it can play is, but it's sending as much power as the speakers can handle.
Guess i'll have to open up the rear deck and see that i can do to get 6x9s in there

 

why not go 6.5s?

 

I would recommend CDT components. They are probably the best bang for the buck components out there. I have no rear fill and I'm happy. I plan on adding the image tweeter option this summer. If you're looking for sound quality oriented system I'd recommend ignoring your rear deck unless you got a really good crossover to divide up the frequencies cause there will be a lot of cancellation. I have subs in the trunk and components in the front. If you ever get subs I would also looking into taking out whatever speakers are in your rear deck completely to let your subs breathe.

Try thezeb.com instead of best buy

 

Well if it is an amp then maybe it is set so it doesnt send low frequencies to the speakers. I mean it might have a filter on it so it only does like 80 and up and not the full range. This might explain your lack of bass. I would check this out more hten anything and make sure the amp is setup correctly as far and gains and crossover before you go hacking up your rear deck... (its not a fun thing to do after doing it in other cars).
