Hey I'm looking at putting some 6 by 9s in the parcel tray of my car and after much searching I believe I've found how to move the rear seat out of the way. but what i was wondering is are the rear speakers are 6 by 9? or if they are 6's? and then what am I going to need to do if I want to change them to 6 by 9's?

Cheers in advance guys!

6x9's wont fit unless you use a spacer type thing.

I only have 6x9s in mine because i had them. So got some black plastic spacers to lift them enough to fit.

Easiest option however is 6.5inches. They just dont have much nuts to them.

Right, so 6's is the general consensus? other than the installing problem im not to sure what the problems are with the 6x9s though? anyone then have some suggestions on the type of speakers to go for, is branding etc merely going to be personal preference

here is a few reasons they suck

1) Possible standing waves in the surround.

2) Non-even dispersion of sound wave across

radiating area

3) Standing waves IN the cone

4) Poorly controlled moving mass due to

unsymmetrical loading of suspension.

when you ask what brand 6 in to buy it depends on budget, tastes, brand loyalty and so much more , and if you have amp or factory deck etc to power them ?

and of course then if you don't install them right any speaker will sound horrible, or out of phase , no bass etc.

dont overlook some of the SAU sponsors or contributuors on here ?

yeah but what i meant was if the 2nd pic is a 6inch speaker - and he is saying that 6inches is the biggest that will fit the STANDARD speaker mounts - then why is there the piece of mdf? (sorry dont mean to argue such a small point, im doing my system soon - just wanting to confirm the sizes without having to cut/fabricate anything.. was told and have read they are 6.5 front and rear but possibly they arent?)

Im not sure what the issue with 6x9's is either.

When i had them in the parcel shelf of my ITR they sounded fantastic. Possibly because i did a good job installing them properly.

They sound like ass, and i knew they would, in the 33 because they dont fit. But it was a remedy to have sound, rather than broken speakers.

Sweet went for the 6" got some nice clean crisp sound going on, next step bass =]

I'm running 6.5" component speakers in the front powered by an amp with the rears faded and found the sq and bass was good enough not to require 6x9's or a sub

Whats "sq" sorry? but yer might give that a go first and then if i feel the need to add more i can go from there

Ha well im semi afraid to say I went with the 6x9's but they have worked out well, got an 800w amp powering them and the 6's up front and they sound great and crisp also got a 10" sub powered by just a 222W amp at the moment which goes well but lacks the power at louder volume so upping the amp for that soon

Oh and also just heads up for others, I wired mine so that my front and rear speakers are playing off the front RCA port and the sub is off the Rear RCA port in the headunit. means I dont have a difference between front and rear sound at the moment, but means when I fade all the way to the rear I just get the sub, neat little trick :P will probably end up wiring it back so that front and back are in their respective ports and split the rear port for the sub also

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
