Why do people hate 6x9 so much? is it just cause they look tacky? i had mine in stealth shelf and they sounded great. to my ears anyway lol
Too many reasons to name but I will give it a go....
They advertise your stereo to anyone who cares to take a look through your back window, with a covered parcel shelf you can solve this one though.
They will confuse your brain into thinking the sound is coming from everywhere rather than from one place which is the eventual aim with stereo sound.
You can kind of get around this by not having your 6x9's running full range sound, only bass. However better results can be achieved by using a sub for this purpose.
They will be disturbed or in some cases cancelled out when using a sub in the boot.
They are oval which is strictly the wrong shape for speakers ( not that any difference would be noticeable in most cases)
They are designed, again in most cases to run from HU power and will not like being amped.
They are not generally as well built as a half decent set of components.
and the most important one is that they are unnecessary, they are just not needed in most cases, including yours.
The only time they are of any use at all is if for some reason you cannot have a sub and you are on a
very strict budget ( like 30 quid). Even then though you would be better off saving a bit more money and buying some components and an amp ( and eventually a sub), which you already have.
6x9's also have their purpose as the proverbial ''gateway drug'' into the ''proper'' sub and amp world.
If you were not in bournmouth ( I assume from your name
) I would invite you to come and have a listen to my and, see if you like that sound
The reason you probably liked the sound of your 6x9's before is because you were used to it.... now if I hear some rear speakers, any rear speakers at all, I want to rip my ears from my head, it is worse than hearing distortion.
The offer still stands TBH, if you are ever in the worcestershire area or fancy a journey you are welcome to have a listen.
