was looking at autobarn today and they sell these carpeted 6x9 speaker boxes that sit on your rear parcel tray.... sorta the same as a sub box but alot smaller....

they are around $70 a pair and im thinking i probably could make some cheaper then that....

would anyone have any measurmants and instructions on how to make a good style of box.... when sat in properly the speaker sorta angles up towards the roof a bit.....

any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.....

:(

no point in low passing 6x9's if you have a sub...mine atm are running normal (no high/low pass) along with my sub, sounds pretty good. with my new splits up the front it sounds a hell of a lot better, but my rear speakers are nothing special.

i didnt know that 6x9's were made like subs, by that i mean to run in sealed/free air...can you port/bandpass them aswell for something different?

I'll say it again; the acoustic suspension of 'most' 6x9s is not designed to run in sealed enclosures. The result is that you will not attain optimum bass at best and you'll damage the speaker at worst. :P

On the flipside (once they're installed correctly) and for those of you doubting the bass output of 6x9s, remember the bottom (main) cone is 6x9". That is only marginally less surface area than an 8" subwoofer so they can thump quite hard..

Yea my first system i had 6X9's amped in the rear parcell shelf with the low pass filter and running around 50hz at the time and they produced some pretty good bass for speakers that were $100. But you can't go past a sub for convential bass and its a lot tighter, easier to tune and better quality sound is my 2cents. Good set of splits tuned right and a sub in the rear, no real need for rear speakers is there. The sound of them is shooting up and from behind you, your ears face forward when your in the car (unless there is something we dont all know about :wassup: ) so unless you were to fade them to the front more and just run them as a high pass i can't really see the need for them.

But in saying that you do what suits you and what you like the sound of, its your system and thats what counts at the end of the day. :P

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
