6x9" to 6.5"?

[_Vince]

I have a 2011 Tundra and the doors are 6x9"s, but after researching, I find that a lot of people prefer 6.5".

Why is it better to go 6.5"? and should I get/make some adapters to put 6.5"s instead?

First off, 6.5 isnt necessarily a preference. It's what 90% of vehicles tend to be. And yes, they make adapters.

i find them easier to work with honestly, plus 6x9s are pretty deep most of the time making them a pain if you dont have/dont want to make a spacer, 6.5s usally clear, and you can just make a quick bracket with some ABS plastic

im on a roll tonight.....

your wrong wrong and more wrong

about 40% of cars have 6.5's

i could go on and on and on

but 75% of fords are 6x8 (if not all) but i think some have that wacky 4x8 crap too

jeeps are 6x9's in the fronts

ALOT are oversized 6.5s yes, but half the time you cant just toss a speaker in there

like i said 6.5s are easier to work with (to me at least), its not that "90%" of cars have them

for example, you dont see people doing custom doors and doing 6x9s all over the place, theres also always been rumors that 6x9s sound better then anything and get louder blah blah blah, again in my experiance, not true, COULD be true in some cases? yes...

6.5's are circle shaped, circles are the optimal shape for any speaker since soundwaves are also circle shaped, plus you don't see higher end stuff made into 6x9's.

If you can, go for it.

Well I plan to actually fiberglass my doors in a few months but until than I needed something to help even out the amount of lows I'm producing. (6 SA-12D2)

So what do you guys think will sound good in the doors that I can also reuse when I fiberglass the doors?

Also, I'll need some that will go around the wall, should I get the same that goes into the doors?
