Don’t mix driver sizes. Having the same size drivers yields the best sound quality and plus round speakers always sound better than oval speakers. Since you already are using 6.5s, just get some 6x9 to 6.5 adapters and run some 6.5 midranges or some more 6.5 components. Either or. Either delete them 6x9s or exchange them for 6.5s. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front doors on dodge trucks run 6x9s , it's actually a good thing since u can get a bit more midbass up front that way since a 6x9 will play deeper than a 6.5 (or 6.75). I partially agree most oval speakers don't seem to sound as good ( my opinion tho, everyone's is different) but 6x9s usually sound damn good and alot of big companies make 6x9 components too. A 4x6 and a 5x7 ( 6x8 Ford says) don't seem to sound so good to me. 11 hours ago, Basshead199789 said: You guys have any reccomendations on some 6x9s that may fjt in place of my stock ones!? Infinity makes a nice 6x9 component set, I've put the Primus series of em in a Xterra on 80rms and they sounded great, cover at 60hz and they got low and aggressive in a minimally deadened door. 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears. All done by me. stereo is Pioneer avh 600ex, all stinger rca, jp23 v1.5, skar rp150.4, and hertz hpd4. 2 SHCA 6.5 8ohm, 1 SHCA 3.5", and 1 DS18 tw120pro in each door. The 3.5 mid and 3.5" tweeters are powered by the skar rp150.4, the 6.5s are powered by the hertz bridged @4 ohms. Dual runs of 3/0 welding cable, 300a alternator, 2 Vmax AGMs up front. current sub is a AB XR 12 ( dual 2 ohm) with bottom spider cut out in 2.25 cubes at 32hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 5x7s sound like shit. I was using 5x7s in my Ford Expedition. 6x9s do sound better than 5x7s for sure. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s just people that don’t know about, thus don’t go by it. Think of it like this. It’s like running different size subwoofers. Same scenario, same conflict in sound waves. Just less of a conflict in sound waves because of speakers being smaller and fed less rms. I’ve seen studies and charts that prove it. But since the speakers are different shapes and sizes that makes more of a conflict. Like running so square 15s and some round 10s. That would sound bad. But because subwoofers are bigger and see more rms and play lower frequencies, subwoofers are WAY more noticeable. Because I thought the same thing like what’s wrong with running different size mids and highs until it was explained to me and then shown to me in black and white. You can actually hear a difference when you switch 6x9s with 6.5s to match the other 6.5s and it sounds better. Not that the 6x9s and 6.5s didn’t sound good because they did. Just the switch made them sound better. I couldn’t hear a difference in sound quality when using different size round speakers. It just got louder. When switching 6.5” front stage to 8”. Not saying it wasn’t there, it just wasn’t audible. Fugh it. He can use 6x9s and be just fine. I just want dude to have the best sound quality possible. Plus he would be getting 6x9 coaxials that won’t crossover like his components and just rollover on frequencies. That’s why I said he would be better off getting some 6.5” midranges or the same components that he already has. Or he could go on parts-express.com and get some PRV 6x9 midranges. I would do all 6.5s though. But it’s whatever. The system will sound good anyways and it wouldn’t be a big difference in sound quality. https://www.parts-express.com/prv-audio-69mr500php-4-6-x-9-midrange-loudspeaker-4-ohm--294-2761 (These are not sold in pairs.

Basshead199789 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Damn tbh the skar spx6.5 would prolly fit in the front 6x9 spot with minor adjusment its like 31/2 inches deep im sure thatd fit... i was looking at some skar audio 6x9 but they do look to be deep im not sure id fit them and everything fit back together.... i have a skar 1k watts 150.4ab 4 channel and its only powering 1 spx65c set (2 6.5s and 2 stweeters dome), so i have alot of power available fod whatwver i go with still. Btw just letting it be known im swithing this nsv3 out for a nice new team sundown 12 or 15 here in next few weeks hahahahha...my basshead excited laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
