6x9's, need to make a decision...opinions?
Tuesday, January 03, 2006 8:49 AM
Mine are dead, have been dead, so I finally removed them today, and holy hell my car sounds better. Figured, now I have to fill the holes again. I'm not looking for anything fancy, I have the low model Pioneer 4x6's and they make me happy. I just want something that won't die, and that my Clarion deck will happily power.

I've found some Audiobahn 6x9's for cheap, they're the AS96Q. Any reason why I shouldn't get them?

I was happy with my infinity 6x9's until the one blew (they were used though). I just recently replaced them with JBL GTO 6x9 2-ways, and they sound great as well.

Personally I'm not a fan of audiobahn, but that's me.

Yeah I was looking at the Alpines, but they're twice as much. Never heard much input on Audiobahn so I thought I'd ask. Almost considering just forking out the money for the Pioneer's to match my 4x6's.

I have all audiobahn speakers and i'm completely happy with them. I haven't used any 6x9's, but both pairs of my 6 1/2's sound just great to me!

Bought the Pioneer's as they were cheap, matched, and available locally. Thanks though!

I cant say much for the 6x9's but i like the subs and the tweeters. My subs hold fairly well considering the fact that i havent blown them yet. the tweeters i think are fairly clear. If the tweeters and the sub are good then the 6x9s should work really well. at least thats what I think. I have heard some kick ass stuff before but that was like a year ago and out here in japan. The part that sucks is that i went to an ATM to get some money to buy them and it took me a while to find an ATM that has english and by the time i got the money i couldnt find the damn store. forgot who made them but they were kick ass. i am gonna go again this weekend to see if i can find something to ship home so i can put them in when i go on leave in a week in a half. lol

i really cant tell the difference most of the time when it comes to 6 x 9's(unamped). as long as its not some company never heard of, it'll probably get the job done. and since your not amping them, you probably wont notice any difference either.

I bought these, they will not drop in the stock speaker location in the rear deck, they are too deep and hit the trunk tension rods, and the rear deck has to be cut to allow for the speaker basket. So, a little modification and sacrifices might have to be made, I sold them to one of my friends, so they do sound AWSOME but, be ready to work for it.

And the 180 watts rms is per pair... which is a shady way to state a power rating.
