Rear Speakers

[Hogan22a]

Looking to fit 2 sony 6x9 speakers to rear shelf.

is it an easy job?? just remove old spaekers and re-wire new ones??

Just not a fan of wiring so small bit worried!!!!!!!!!! :shutit:

I think its more complex than that, one of the electronics guru's will be along soon to give you some advice.

It depends how big the magnet is, I put some Alpine 6 x 9's in yesterday, and fitted them directly onto the rear, no need for mods or spacers.

The new 6x9s will not like the feed the amp sends them due to the bi-wired nature of the OEM ones. The way round this is to run wires from your head unit along the side of the car from the Head Unit to the Speakers bypassing the amp.

Aren't the OE rear speakers 2Ω? If you're still running the factory head unit & put aftermarket 4Ω speakers in there they will add extra loading resulting in the amp making less power & potentially damaging it. You're better off upgrading the front speakers anyway. The rears should just be the for fill. 90% of the sound should come from the front.

It is the other way round. 4 ohm speakers will load the outputs less than 2 ohm speakers but may be quieter - but they may not because efficiencies vary by huge amounts. Either way, no damage can result from fitting them.

Ah yeah I got that one back to front. Like you said using 4Ω speakers where 2Ω should be will result in them running quieter.

You'll probably be disappointed with the end results Hogan22a. Spend your money on some decent components for the front & an amp for them if you can stretch the budget. Loud 6x9" are for mugs.

ok will prob upgrade front speakers so by the sounds of it.

another question about speakers aswell.

saw in a car mag before about a sub put in where the rear armrest goes.

has anyone got this done??

With all due respect, 6x9's are much clearer and capable of producing more bass/treble front end speakers can only dream of. Sorry e910 but i totally disagree and to be honest, your the first person I have come across who prefers front end speakers to 6x9. Why would you want to amp the front if you dont want loud music anyway? Leave the amp and get 6x9's or even better, amp up the 6x9's.

[sparkystav]

I disagree Umar,

if you went to a concert you wouldnt stand with your back to the music would you?

so decent fronts are better than loud 6x9's behind you in terms of quality rather than loudness.

in fact your best putting a small sub in the boot and removing the 6x9s altogether to post the boot.
