Thread: 6x9 replacements

im starting to hear rattling form my 6x9's so i am planning on replacing them soon.
Ive heard of people changing them to 6 1/2's. should i do this or just replace them with new ones?(Whats the difference?)

im aiming to spend around $50-150

suggestions?

ive got polk db691 that are 6x9s and love them

If you decide to go cheap, I have a stock pair for sale from a 97gt with the 8 speakers system.

If you want to upgrade, then I suggest these
Kicker KS69 6"x9" 2-way car speakers at Crutchfield Outlet

Get some Infinity Kappa 692.9i's off Amazon for cheaps. Or the 693.9i's.

Or you can buy my stockers from a 2004 GP off Ebay. I have them listed at $40 obo + $20 shipping, but I might be able to cut you a deal

EDIT: Also, look on Amazon and Ebay for stuff you find on Crutchfield, it's usually about 50% of the price.

PM me about the "deal" that ^ gives you so I can beat it.

im not buying stock ones guys....
thanks though

i picked up a pair of used JBL GTO's that are amazing,
stick with the 6x9 just get something that you like.. becuase installing them is a giant pain, one that you dont want to have to repeat over more than once lol

i have bose not monsoon.

^I was referring to the names of the premium sound option. Some years it was Bose others it was Monsoon.

2 options i would say. i like the rockford fostgate punches so i would say get the rockford punch p1692 which is the 6x9s. or i have seen some ppl get the p152s 5.25s that i use as door speakers, and use the 6x9 adapter that it comes with to install as the rears. if u do that the mount has a spot for a tweeter add on, which in the end makes it sound really good.

Polk Audio MM691's. Note the price differences here:

Polk Audio MM691 6"x9" 3-way car speakers at Crutchfield Signature

I can attest to this. I'm in need of an amp
