6x9 boxes?

[ekah]

would it be a good idea to instead having 6x9 in the rear doors to relocate them to the back hatch of my car sitting behind the rear seats and pointing towards the front? for better sound and louder purposes

no, Its better if you work on your front stage instead. If you feel like you need 6x9s in the back that means your front component setup is completely inadequate.

Rear 6x9s are just for the passengers, they dont help sound quality at all, in fact, they destroy the soundstage pretty horribly.

Step 1: uninstall rear speakers'

Step2: promptly and diligently throw them in the trash

Step3: congratulations you're now done!

The best quote I've seen regarding focusing on your front stage instead of rear speakers - when was the last time you went to a concert and the music was coming from behind you?

Stock your car should have 6x8s in the rear doors, not 6x9's. Are these speakers that you've already purchased and modded your doors to fit, or are you just referring to the stock speakers?

that's true never thought of it like this concert idea. I have 6x8 but was thinking of getting 6x9 speakers idk what kind I was thinking either alpine type r coaxial or soundqubed. people say throw the back speakers out so instead of having my 4 channel amp should I get a 2 channel or just keep the 4 channel but bridge the 2 Front channels and get rid of back speakers?

If you absolutely MUST run 6X9's behind you a box will definitely make them sound better and louder, but as everyone else says it is garbage for sound stage. If you put your efforts in up front you won't need any highs coming from behind you.

You might want to run active with some efficient pro audio drivers and more powerful silk domes. A powerful 4 channel amp can do wonders as well aka 150 watts+. Some crescendo UN 6.5s and image dynamics xs 28s on a ppi 900.4 or nvx jad 800.4 should get you louder than any 6x9 setup not to mention sounding a lot better.
