Thread: Rear speakers

mY jbl gto's sound great ton of bass plus the ability to change it to -3db
mine are plug and play because of the extra work I put in modifying the stock adapter to fit the new units

I personally have used infinity kappa components in the past, but infinity kappa's(short of their subs) have no bass. Excellent clarity, but no bass. What can I put in here that has decent bass(for a stock system.) Is this where the factory infinity comes in?

If you want better sound...

Find a good quality head unit. The 9887 isn't bad and you can find them used for 200 to 250. Personally, after installing the 9887 and "tuning" a bit majority of my passengers thought I had replaced all the speakers.

Then, grab some polk db651's for ~$65 or some Phoenix Gold RSD's for about the same price. It will sound much better. 6x9's = trash. They are not able to reproduce sounds accurately since they have an issue with linear response directly related to their shape and inability to recover quickly.

I'm definitely not a fan of infinity. I believe their products to be harsh sounding. Well, all around I think their speakers are trash. Personal opinion, but if you train your ear you'll start to feel the same way too.

i noticed older gm cars 6x9s had good bass outout like 88+ bonnevilles and sedan devilles(symphonic sound). and i over heard nakamichi was american and had zed boards whatever that means

i have a 98 gtp and my rear 6x9s arent working either, it has the 8 speaker stereo but its not the bose, does it have an amp too? where is it? if the amp is blown can you replace it with an aftermarket one?
