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

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
