Best 6x9 for Bass

04-07-2006, 08:59 AM

I was wondering what kind of 6x9s i could get to get some good bass out of them.

Metallman56 · 04-07-2006, 09:29 AM

pioneer rev series. go down to 25hrz. lowest 6x9 i have ever heard.

6x9's are not great bass speakers in the first place. due to their smaller stature, they have to be able to move more air to be as loud as a larger speaker, particularly at lower frequencies. but a 6x9 is not a round speaker and getting them to displace enough linearily is a problem. i would vote no 6x9 and maybe get a 6.5", 7", or 8" sub instead.

lets just say he HAD to use a 6x9 what would u recomend?

Stock, honestly... the stock speakers put out some pretty good output when combined with an aftermarket HU...

Then again your going to need to replace them every month, but ... if you can get them for cheap, I dont know

I had RF Punch 6x9s, they were crisp but the bass wasnt all that much.

As someone stated above, maybe replace your 6x9 with some 6" round speakers.

My infinity kappa 6x9's have a nice bass to em.

blake · 04-07-2006, 02:20 PM

infinity or pioneer from what i have heard

or you could always put any kinda compontents back there instead of using 6X9's

if you want bass you really just need to get a woofer in your trunk

good to know on those kappa's as ill be picking up a pair of those soon

kse73 · 04-07-2006, 06:35 PM

Yes....Terrific speakers

They required some work to get em to fit right I believe. I had em professionally done...and they said they had some trouble.

Ajaxus · 04-07-2006, 06:40 PM

if you can find out what trouble they had and pm me about it that would be awesome.

blake · 04-07-2006, 10:08 PM

if you want somethin better than kappa's ....look for infinity perfects

they are teh bomb!

Ajaxus · 04-07-2006, 10:24 PM

i didnt think the perfects came in a 6x9, i thought they were strictly component and subs, but i could be wrong.

blake · 04-07-2006, 10:29 PM

i meant for components instead of 6x9's, and their subs are great too...i dont think they come in that size either (6x9)

Ajaxus · 04-07-2006, 11:35 PM

yeah, i was like "wait a sec"

the perfects are definitely nice, if i ever have reason to i might just go with a solid infinity system, they are definitely a good bang for the buck brand.

Metallman56 · 04-08-2006, 06:38 AM

aj the kappas go down to 25hz! same as the pioneers i recomended.

Ajaxus · 04-08-2006, 12:46 PM

yeh, but since i already have kappa's in the doors i might as well do the same in the back, im slowly trying to go from a ragtag mix-n-match system to a one/two brand system.

Graxall · 04-08-2006, 01:01 PM

Bose speakers are pretty nice. My Kicker DX69 6x9's sound good tho too

laxjax13 · 04-08-2006, 07:01 PM

ive also got the kappas for my 6x9s and they required some work to get them in right.
theres a button on them to turn up the bass 0db or 2db i think it was?

Ajaxus · 04-08-2006, 07:09 PM

work=cutting?

Metallman56 · 04-08-2006, 10:07 PM

bose really sucks for bass imo. stay away from the very overated bose.
