Little help for car audio noob.

**Odi** · 12-12-2010

Okay, so i blew my speakers. Pretty much all of them. Im guessing one of the 6x9's has wiring problem, cuz it works sometimes, i blew the rest tho... So im swayed to get these:

Rockford Fosgate Prime R1693 for the rear deck and

Rockford Fosgate Prime R152-S for the front.

Now my questions:

Im keeping stock head unit, so im not getting an amp. Im guessing these should work ok as stock replacements, correct? (non bose coupe)

Now, i want to mount the separate tweeter where the old ones (keep oem look), anything i should know about doing that?

Also, about the speakers: Im looking for solid bass for the rear, and clear mids and high for the front. Dont want a subbbbb.

Any help appreciated. Thanks guys.

6.5" sub array?

hang it from the rear deck!

Well you could do 6x9 subs in the rear deck and use a small amp to power them. Just another option.

8" IB subs too

**Odi** · 12-12-2010

NO SUBS. simple. i want bassy rear speakers, not subs.

get infinity speaker all the way if u want good sound and great bass. i have infinity all 4 speakers and they sound amazing!!! great highs and low deep bass

Except you still need an amp to get any good power from them.

**BoostnBlackGTP** · 12-12-2010

no you dont. they come with a power inverter that increases the watts comin from the cd player to the speaker

that sounds either like bull**** or like an amplifier...

OP, just do what they're telling you to... Bassy 6x9's dont exist.

Im not looking for ridiculous bass, something in the terms of original speakers. They had plenty of bass for my taste.

We're not talking about ridiculous bass either. If you've ever noticed my threads I hate that rattling announcement crap that you hear from a mile out.

What we're referring to is the ability of a speaker to hit 20hz or somewhere near that. A 6x9 isn't going to do bass any justice when it starts rolling off at 60hz or 50hz. If you think it does...tell me how that works out after somebody "EQ's" your system and blows them. You can have simple bass and simple setups on the cheap if you pay attention to REAL WORLD PHYSICS vs. car audio marketing/forum snake oil rants.

LOLOL bass is bass no matter how you look at it or even hear it!!

sounds like your gona kill the 6x9s to get the bassy from them..
a "proper" set-up (x over'd correctly) will have good mid bass....
but u NEED a sub to blend the sound correctly = SOUNDS VERY VERY GOOD!!

thats not so true, i have 2 jbl gto series 6x9's and 2 jbl gto series 4in in my rear deck and with my jvc head unit alone it sound like a 8in sub back there so,yes they do exist

List your home audio setup in a PM.

Rob, Tang Bang makes two 6x9 subwoofers.

Coaxial tweeters would be worse.

They'd always be blocked by someones legs.

**onetyme77** · 12-16-2010

what??

**onetyme77** · 12-12-2010

i jus replaced all my speakers too, i went all jbl gto series, 6x9s and 4in. in the rear deck and a 5 1/4 components in the front, although i do have a jvc head unit. no amp and it sound great, bass, mid and highs. i have the same prob about the tweeter. i attempted to put in the 5.25's but my tweeter is bigger than the factory hole. so if you figure something out lemme no also thanks.

**BoostnBlackGTP** · 12-12-2010

i honestly dont know how well it works... but i guess iot amplifies the wattage to get mroe sound out of the speakers. thats all

**matt5112** · 12-12-2010

Once you have low bass you wont want to live without it.

**QwikGT** · 12-12-2010

i have JL speakers in my car and they sound fine. i removed all the bose stuff and run them with my JVC head unit
i too didn't want subs

**I800C0LLECT** · 12-12-2010

Guys...difference in bass with sub that is CORRECTLY TUNED to match the mids is friggin incredible. People poop their pants and can't believe my sub is actually in the trunk because the sound is on the dash and in front.
