4x6 vs 5.25 dash speakers

[thegr8cody]

well right now i have the ctx65cs components and i love them.but i need to bring my soundstage up so im thinknig the 4x6's cause they'll go in no problem.but i can do a lil modding and fit 5 1/4's so my question is wil the 5 1/4's be that much louder. i want it to sound good and im scared with the 5 1/4s they might be a lil to loud and i'll have to turn them down there for defeating the purpose if that makes sense

i really dont care for them but i get some 3.5 or 4 in speakers and make spacers

If you want to bring the soundstage up a bit, first try RAISING your crossover points. If that doesn't work, you may want to adjust your time alignment if you have that function.

If you have any spare tweets laying around, mock up a mount with some carpet tape and take a listen to those tweeters in the a-pillar and firing up at the windshield like you're planning to do with the 5.25". That usually takes care of the rainbow. But having a midbass & tweeter lower and adding a mid up high on the dash is always a bad idea. You want the mid & tweet as close together as possible if they're mounted up high. (like a 4"mid in a vent & tweeter in the a-pillar)
