Ok, so here's the deal, I have a '91 Caprice with 4 blown speakers, The rear deck speakers (6x9) and mad easy to replace and the fronts (4x6) I might replace with 6.5's in a custom setup....

but for now, I'm looking for get a gooood set of 6x9's for the rear deck. I was looking @:

Infinity / JBL
Memphis
JL
Boston
MB Quart
Focal

Can anyone please help me pick on, perhaps a certain model or maybe something you may know from experience. Thanks. I really hate listening to blown speakers

Boson SL95's. Very good sounding speaker. Would recommend an amp to go with them though

 

FOCAL are hand made and tested extremely strictly. They are some of the best made and sounding speakers on the market. Model # is 690 CA1. It's a 2-way coaxial 6X9.

truthfully i wouldnt waste your money on 6x9s. not only would you get better results from a component set, but rear fill should be the last thing you consider if you want decent SQ

 

http://www.eclipse-web.com/point/sp6900.html then when you get the fronts done, remove the tweeter and use them as mid-range/mid-bass drivers, power them with a 2x100W amp and you will be impressed. 94

 

^^^ how about these? Infinity KAPPA
693.7I 6" x 9" three-way loudspeaker

I can get them about $150....

 

lol you ask what we recommend and then pick something none of us recommended. Awesome

Hey I was just asking, because these cost more than the Focal's I was looking at, so I was curious.....

this question requires more information. What are your long term goals? What is your budget? Which head unit? Will you amplify the 6x9s?

I like JL TRs on head unit power and XRs/ZRs on an amp.

Long term goals: Clear system - good bass - not looking to replace speakers anytime soon after this,

budget: sub $200
Headunit: Currently Eclipse mp3 unit, but going to be replace with my alpine 9813 with sub out

Amplify the 6x9's: prolly not, but I will run a 600W mono amp (infinity) for my 12" sub (infinity perfect)

hope this helps, let me know
