Chevy boy, I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.... So leave my 6x9 holes empty, and build seperate holders for my new components and mount them near the old 6x9 holes?

[ChevyBoy]

yes but dont cover up the 6x9 holes. itll save u the cutting and the headache if something goes wrong.

[Andrew]

Yea man, thats what I was thinking... Thanks alot. You think I should use 6.5"s or still use 6x9's in the pods?

[Guest MegaloManiac]

6.5" will be easier to make baffles for

[ChevyBoy]

ooo got me there. i like the way my buddies 6x9s sound and i like the way my 6.5s sound. i would just get some 3way 6x9s so u got some midbass to them.

No offense megalo but I'm not wanting to do whats going to be the easiest, I like a challenge and I'll do pretty much what ever it takes to have the best sounding stuff around my area. I love how the type R 6.5"s sound but if the 3 way 6x9's will get louder then so be it. I can't seem to find any 3 way 6x9's in the type R version... Any other brands equivelant to the type R's for right around the same price? What about these here... http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=4537 for the rear and then these... http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Rockford-Fosgate-P...1QQcmdZViewItem up front? Are they good sounding speakers? Do they get loud?

[ChevyBoy]

i kno my buddies punch 6x9s sound crisp and clear. im getting those 6.5s as a matter of fact. i think that would be an excellent combo imo.

[Andrew]

True, thanks again manG. You know any good amps to power those with? Would a t4004 be a good amp? or do you have any other ideas?

[Guest MegaloManiac]

are you wanting to do SQ? You can definately get loud in SQ. Imaging is the key.

If you want good SQ, the rear doesnt need to be loud(im talkin midrange & up). in sq you want the music to be projected as if you're at a concert. so you want the music at eyelevel and comin from the front, notice i said front and not back nor from feet. If you want a challenge that will be a challenge. imaging is somewhat hardwork. try this, have your midrange in the kicks & tweets in the A pillars, if you want some more midbass, have a dedicated midbass and put them in the doors. if you still feel you need rear fill, have them crossed over low.

I recomend Vifa or Dayton tweets, for midbass i recomend the Adire Extremis 6.4 or the AA Poly mids, and for midrange  thats up to you, you can get some Audex 3" or 4" or if you got 250 spend them one the Hybrid Audio L3 3".

6x9 don't have that great of SQ.. round is always the best. dayton from partsexpress.com would be the best....I know MECA rules say the sound sound come from teh front.. at EYE LEVEL.. teh rear feel should be liek an echo effect teh sound should also sound like its in a big area not a small car.... I have teh kenwood kdc-828, and it has built in processors that take car of all of that for you.. up front go with a 3 way componat setup(tweeter, 4", 6.5"0 rear do a two way(tweeter, 5.25)..... subs 12's should do. mount your mid range 4" speaker on the a-piller and keep all of your front spakers within a 18" area of each other... that teh rule of thumb for SQ....so teh sound doesn't apear to be coming from different places.. it needs to sound liek it coming from one centeral point above the window and should not sound like its in a small car. hope that helps
