    6x9"

    hi, I ve just bought a Mazda 323F, and I ve noticed that all the doors had a space big enough to fit in a 6x9 speaker.

    So I am very very tempted to fit 1 in each dorr and maybe 2 at the back. What would you repcommend?

    And should I buy an amp as well or will the 6 suffice?

    If I were you I'd just check the sizes of the car's original speakers and replace those with some better ones. I wouldn't bother with 6x9s, they're not that hot. An amp will help if you get a decent set of component speakers to replace the car's originals, for example.


    And if you did stick six 6x9 speakers in, you'd need an amp anyway, poor head unit won't cope with that many speakers

    Normal circle speakers are better than 6x9. If you want to avoid the hassle of components then just get some full range speakres. These will have the bass cone then a tweeter sort of sspended above it.

    Amps are recommended if you want clean sound and high volumes

    I have heard lots of people slate 6x9's and in my experience 98% of them are absolute TOSH, including Sony/Pioneer/Kenwood e.t.c

    The only decent pair I have heard which gave a very good level of bass, good clarity and good tones were a set of Rockford Fosgate Thump! Absolutely blew away any other 6x9 I have previously heard and are now nestled safely in my Alfa.

    So get a good set and its fine but get any of the others and you will be more than dissapointed with the flat tones and lack of bass.

    6x9s aren't Lexus lights. Don't see how you came to that conclusion.

    How can you compare fitting Lexus lights in your Peugeot to a set of speakers?

    If you don't like replies people give to your questions then complain to a Mod, don't take it out on other people

    *Sorry for the hijack kebab, i'm sure yor 6x9's will sound good

    dont start this into some kind of sexual discrimination mallarci I for one like your car Kitty, but having a few speakers in your car does not make you a chav... the fact that most cars when brought have really bad sounding sound setups, (think two empty tin of beans tied together with some string) makes an audio upgrade worthwhile. We all love music in one way or another so the fact that he wants good sounding audio doesnt make him chav

    kitty i saw your car too, its fair enough to have things that actuially benifit the car such as a nice sounding sound system, but a "big bore exhaust" on a 1.4 is just plain chav, plus big bore has nothing to do with exhausts lol.

    kebab my mate has fusion cirlce speakers oin his door they are the bomb they are the same size as his civic ones but they have so much depth and bass they rock go fusion

    i have 6''x 9'' in my car.
    if people dont say they are calling me a chav simpley because of the lexus lights i will take it you are calling me a chav because of other stuff as well
    lexus lights = modification
    6''x9'' = modification

    many cars have lexus lights (lexus lights are a brand name of lights to go on the back of your car) and many cars have 6''x 9'' so does that make every car with them things a 'chav' car?
    so the origonal lexus cars are 'chav' cars? simply because they have lexus lights?
    [img=http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/4541/lexusis3000jd.jpg]
    is that a chav car? NO but it has lexus lights and alloys same as my car and many others.

    as i said before i dont care what people think just some people need to take the time and think about other cars and what they have on before calling a simple person a name
    i dont look like a chav or talk like a chav ask any one who have met me

    mart_haj86 i never called him a chav i was pointing out that i have them in my car and get called it and he dont, no one pointed out the only reason they are calling me a chav is because of my lexus lights.

    so to the end of my rant YES i have lexus lights but it does not make me a CHAV so can everyone stop calling it me now because you are all p***ing me off

    thank you

    oh and sorry Kebab i think the 2 i have in my car are more than enough if you want to try 4 you will defo need a amp good luck anyway

    Kerry the car you posted a picture of isn't a chav car at all - it's a reasonably tidy looking 306 with colour coded handles and a decent set of wheels.

    It hasn't got Lexus lights or silly mirrors, so it isnt chav.

    Blah, blah, blah
    You know I never called you a chav, right? You just jumped to that conclusion all by yourself.

    the car i posted is my car now as it stands on my drive, i have got the dtm mirrors and lexus lights (they was all in a box on back seat when i got car iv not been out and got them) but there not on my car now, i dont really want the mirrors on as i like the black ones and i cant have the lexus lights on as i got the wrong conection i need the phase 2 not phase 1.
    so no my car isnt a chav car. thank you Fox

    Tarffie.. you call a car a chav car it also goes for the person driving it aswell most of the time, go and have a look in showroom thread Tarffie at my car you will see it looks nowt like a chav car.

    oh it realy does then you hear the bloody thing i bet all 80 bhp of it why would you ever buy it? you like the 306 and want something thats quick and sounds good get a gti-6, your car is ok yes, but dont make out that you didnt want all that ****e on it, the worst thing of all is when people have cars that are made out to be the faster one when they arnt its embarassing tbh
