i would say 6.5's are better, but that's not to say that every 6.5 is better than every 6x9.

and this is all the help i get..

from my experience. 6.5=better Sq but 6x9's=more cone area so a little better mid bass and will get louder than the equivalent speaker in a 6.5

well im pretty sure my infinity reference 6x9s sound terrible..

im going to replace those and hopefully the plate speakers up front and make some kick pods for 2 more

no need for the bass response as much seeing as my W7s can provide that

if it's in the rear deck, i'd just put what fits stock. i personally eliminate the rear altogether, and just do a nice set of comps up front, but some like the rears.

IDK if its just me or what because the reason im switching these out is becuase my amp is getting fixed and I can really HEAR the music without the subs now and its just distortion in the midbass which I guess wont make a difference when I get my amp back..

But I really dont want to have to waste all this money if its just going to sound the same once I get the subs hooked up again

easiest route to SQ, is a sub and a good component set.

well went from some jbl 6x9's 2 way to a set of components. it was just as loud but alot better sq

I agree with kcdc30. Get rid of the rear deck altogether. Less sound replication = better sq. Components up front and subs in the back.
