6x9`s or not??

[Hot Stuff]

Hi all,

Was looking at getting some 6x9`s in the Golf, but OH said not too as stereo sounds alright as it is - I dont think so and think it would sound better with some nice 6x9`s in!!

All ive got is a 10" Sony sub and amp, which i can run the 6x9`s off of aswell! 

What you think? And what would you reccommend??

Yes get some 3 way 6 x9's they will help fill all the sound spectrum.

As you already have Sony then get the same in 6 x 9's. Its what I've got and they sound great.

Thats what i was gonna get, the Sony XSF693N ones, but oh no, they will make no difference apparantly 

[Len]

Oh they will make a huge difference! It fills the car with sound.

I'm assuming that these will go on parcel shelf of some description?

In my other car (405 Mi16) I have them in the front doors and 7 x 10's inthe parcel shelf!!! Plus a 12" sub!  That sounds quite good!

I know, they will make alot of difference, sometimes i think he just dont want me to have a better sound system than him! (all his got is 6x9`s coz he cant fit nothing else behind the seats) 

Yeah, they would go on parcel shelf, was thinking about a stealth shelf, so their 'hidden'  but not sure how pricey one would be!

Just seen one on www.auto-acoustics.co.uk for £59.53! 

But once they stick on all their crap, £107.89!!

Sorry, but 6x9s are no where near as good as comps are. Get a decent set put in and set up properly (crossovers always help) and they will sound a million times better than 6x9s do.

ATM it just sounds a bit bland, if you know what i mean, needs something else to crank it up a bit and make it more  instead of 

[Agreeable Slick]

get comps then. Will give you the best sound.

Sorry I was assuming that you had upped your original VAG door speakers!

If not then yeah do that first. And if ya want a really bright sound put 3 ways in the front doors as well as the dash tweeters!
