Replacing my system

[Albuynp Ryeno]

See I am no professional either but thats because I dont charge people money to install sound system. I am an expert tho. I;ve seen it happen with my own eyes on 2 pairs of rear speakers. So i know for a FACT that a subwoofer can ruin rear speakers. But if you want a scientific explanation here it goes.

Subwoofer that are good produce a high SPL. The rear deck speakers r right below the subwoofer. So that air will push upward on the cone of the speaker. This is equivalent to taking your finger and pushing up on the speaker while its playing.

And your right 6x9 can not replace subwoofers, thats the problem. They are not as good as producing sound as a 6.50 speaker and they arent as good a real subwoofer either.

And also here is the thing, how can air move from the trunk to the front of the car? if you replace the rear speakers and add a woofer. Their is NO way for the subwoofer air to travel to the front. That means a proper installation of rear speakers in the rear deck and a good subwoofer WILL blow out or distort the rear deck speaker.

See its not about doing a "PROPER" install, Its about doing a logical install. Just because they make 6x9 speakers and just because they run speakers in the rear deck doesn't mean you should use them.

Dude, you make NO sense, stop and listen to yourself. The OP asked a simple question... and from what I read, he got his answer. Seriously, stop clogging this thread up and either take it to PM or just stop.

I'll make this my final post in this thread. The true test of a speaker's ability to reproduce sound is not dependant on it's shape (i.e. round or oval), but it's frequency response. From Crutchfield's site...

Frequency Response:
The range of frequencies the speaker will reproduce (lowest frequency to the highest).

For full range speakers, the wider the range, the better. Optimal is 20 - 20,000 Hz, the range of human hearing.

Here's my example, using my system:

Most 6.5" ROUND speakers have a frequency response of about 30 - 30,000 Hz. My Round 6.75" speakers (Pioneer TS-D701P) have a frequency response of 25 - 32,000 Hz. My OVAL 6x9's (Pioneer TS-D901P) have a frequency response of 22 - 32,000 Hz.

As you can see, even within the same series of speakers, the oval 6x9's have a better range than the round 6.75." That means, 6x9's sound just a bit better than the 6.75" speakers. Keep in mind this is within the same brand, and series of speakers. This shows that my oval 6x9's just edge out my round 6.75" speakers for sound reproduction.

Another thing our resident non-professional, but an expert didn't seem to grasp, is that the OP isn't installing a subwoofer. Therefore, the OP should get some 6x9's in order to have the bass than the front speakers can't produce because, the OP isn't installing a subwoofer. Even if the OP was installing a sub, I doubt it would be a competition level, high SPL subwoofer.

And that's all I have to say about that...
