hey, i realized the other day that my 94 Accord LX has space for 6x9" rear speakers, but instead there's factory paper 6 1/2"s in there with spacers. I'm going to take them out, but what brand 6x9s are would sound good do u think? (cd deck is Kenwood, with Kenwood 6 1/2 speakers in the front)

 

I myself do not like rear speakers at all, I would just take them out completely and put a sub in your trunk. That is what is done in mine, and with the rear speakers removed it allows the sub to play louder because there are two nice sized holes in your rear deck for the sound to play through. When I removed them my SPL increased from 129.2db to 131.9db

 

i put some pioneer 3 way speakers that size in my brothers truck. they sound pretty awesome. go to best buy

had a few in my time and they're no where close to the rest...they suck...

 

It all depends of what your budget is and if you plan to run the 6x9s off the deck or an amp.

 

Ditto for the Alpines....

 

i have a pair of infinity reference 2-way 6x9's from my wrecked accord if you're interested.

these, i think: http://www.infinitysystems.com/carau...er=REF&Cat=MEL

 

how much do u want for those 6x9 infinity reference?

 

by the way, i was looking at these speakers ealier- i like the color, havent heard much about the brand name before though. What do u guys think?

I have to agree to an extent. Infinity doesn't stand up to their excellent reputation with their aftermarket speakers. Being once sponsored by Pioneer, I was able to get my hands on their Premier Reference Series products... sadly, the only pioneer products I could recommend, minus the few high-end head-units.

First of all you don't buy speakers because you "like the color" you make you decision on the quality of the sound LOL you have a few things to learn.....

I would recommend MB Quart or Focal....but IMO I would not do rear speakers as I stated earlier, especially in an Accord. They have excellent acoustics and really don't need rear fill, the fronts and a sub will do you just fine. Unless you are planning on running 5.1 of course.

Just be sure to run a good clean amplifier to your front speakers (not off head unit power) and they will be plenty loud, and much more clear than you are apparently used to.

I have MB Quart Reference series 6.5" coax in my doors running off a JL Audio 300/4 which also powers a 13.5" JL Audio W1 Sub, this setup is extremely efficient and extremely clear, with great volume.

did the wiring myself

Tacoma
JL Audio speakers all around, (component in front) powered by a JL 300/4 amp
10" kicker comp VR sub powered by 350W RMS Kicker amp
mp3/wav Pioneer head unit

Accord
Kenwood deck
Kenwood front speakers
stock rear speakers

probably will buy an old set of Rockford 12" subs in a box from my buddy he's also gonna throw in a 150w amp with it. should sound pretty good
