    What 6x9 speakers do you have?

    Mounting depth 3" correct?

    I bought some PowerBass 210W speakers for the rear deck months ago and they don't fit. The basket was to wide. I was getting tweeters but I think i just blew both rears. I have my deck set up to take all the bass out of all speakers and directed to just the subs. What's funny is i was messing with the wiring behind the deck last weekend so i'll check it again.

    But maybe i'll get some fitting replacements. What brand speakers do you have and what model? I want to buy some that fit.

    If it ain't broke, i'm still fixin' it.

    I would just mount a sub in the rear and plug the 6x9 holes. I have Alpine components for the fronts and didn't really hear the rear speakers over the sub box.
    sig too big

    I was thinking about getting some new 6 3/4" speakers from crutchfield and get the rear 6x9 bracket and put the stock door speakers in the back. I guess any 6x9 should work if its not as huge as the ones i got.

    If it ain't broke, i'm still fixin' it.

    So Polks are a good brand to get for the component speakers? I was looking to upgrade my from and rear speakers around December, just don't know what's a good reliable brand.

    Eclipse Component up front and Eclipse SP in the rear, Rears are flush mounted if youre worried about mounting depth clearance. Eclipse/JL ftw!

    I have sony X-plode all around, 6x9s,2 12" subs, 6.5" in doors, 2000watt mono block amp, head unit. WHEN YOU STICK WITH ONE BRAND, YOUR SYSTEM WILL ALWAYS SOUND GREAT. Took me a long time to figure that out.

    Zigen and Flieg, what do you guys recommend? On a budget between 50$ - 80$, per set.

    im just gonna change the front ones...didnt really bother changing the rear speakers cuz of same reason but it'd be better to change all of them.

    yes if you go to a retail store like bestbuy you wont get much more then a pair of pioneers, which arent horrible.. between stock and those.. night and day difference.. but you can get alot more for your buck if your willing to shop around on the internet a bit! if you find any speakers and have questions about them feel free to give me a shout!

    Yeah, I definitely only buy from the net, or this place called Arizona Sound, they have real good deals from what I can tell.

    I may go with what showtime has though, he seems to like them a lot, or the infinitys.

    EDIT: At the same time, bigger speakers mean a bigger amp, which translates to much more money.
