The best thing to do when buying speakers is to have a listen. The way it sounds to you, might not be the way someone else likes it.
Definitely improve the fronts and leave out the 6x9s.

yh they should sound good ..alpine  :grin:

gonna get alpine amplifier now to go with it  :smiley:

Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but why?????

You bought 2 way coaxs. If you look at those speakers the little thing that sticks out of the front of the speaker is a little tweeter. So it is basically 2 speakers in one.

You've then bought another set of tweeters. When you buy components you have crossovers that come with them to seperate the signals that each speaker receives.

Each crossover for each set of components is designed for the set of speakers it comes with.

How do you intend to setup the speakers you have just bought?

lost me  :huh:

brought em main reason they where very cheap.. also becuase my passanger side speaker has popped so hence i need to change them..

(not gonna do nothing in the shelf as originaly i said becuase of this)

 .. im gonna just replace them with these and put tweeters on my pillers (gonna leave original tweeters in as normal) and hook it all up to a 4 channel alpine 400w amp i have brought too  :smiley:

Mate I would strongly suggest components, I currently have CDT components running off a mission amp and good lord it's literally like the band playing are on your dashboard, you can hear every little sound they are absolutly amazing and I aint exagerating (SP)

I've had infinity speakers with additional tweeter and to be honest mate they didn't sound too great, the main reason is because they don't go through a crossover there will always be a slight delay in the sound, you may not notice that there is a delay vut you may notice that it sounds a bit weird and won't be able to put your finger on what it is that is causing the it to sound like that but that is what it is. The tweeter only a has a bass blocker in the wire which some may say also cause a very slight delay.

But all in all the price you have paid and what your getting for so little money is quite well done.

For 6"9's I would strongly recommend Infinity Kappa series, they actually have a seperate crossover rather than the crappy built in one's, they sound amaingly clear but not that much depth in bass at all, their more for clarity than anything else, well the mid was good on them.
