Best Boom out of these

[mikemikemike 10+ year member]

I need opinions so please say which and why.

I have 2 options (both would be connected to an Amp):

1) Run two 8" JL Audio (jl audio 8IB4 - 75w RMS) in sealed box.

2) Run two Infinity 6x9 speakers (100w RMS, 300w Peak) in rear deck.

NOW, separate question. If I were to run option 2, could I cut the wires running on the speakers to the tweeter and connect those to the original wires to the radio than connect the woofer part to the Amp?

Below is the best I can do on the specs. 6x9s im not sure what model they are

FS: 37.5 Hz

QTS: 0.684

QES: 0.744

QMS: 8.484

VAS: 50.9 L

Xmax: 8.6 mm

SPL: 87.4 dB

Sd: 0.0198 m2

Re: 6.10 ohm

Z: 8 ohm

Pw: 75 Watts

If I pulled the right specs for the 6x9 --- 46 - 21k Hz

Option #1. I would also run the 6x9 off of deck power. That way you have both a sub and some rear fill.

haha I know I won't get a lot of bass, but my two 12" subs won't fit in the trunk anymore because I put a fullsize spare in the trunk.

Anyway, I want at least some, and CLEAN bass. Current speakers do it a little but it makes my ears bleed and **** shrivel when I hear bass songs on speakers.

As for the headunit its an older Pioneer Premier 470MP/ Pioneer 4700MP (has almost same specs as mine)

6x9s are not for bass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

^ I know that they aren't from a frequency standpoint. These go to 46hz where the subs go to 37.5hz.

Obviously 37.5hz capable will hit deeper notes, but I thought I'd ask because theoretically the 6x9 should hit everything down to 46hz harder since the RMS rating is higher.

Didn't know if that was a better trade off

6x9's may not be good for BASS in yo face! but they are fine for decent midbas and some lows. I've owned and heard several cars with 6x9's that put out decent bass, comparable to an average 10" sub or set of 8's.

In your situation, get a set of 8" subs or mid-bass, run them Active, set to 80-120hz. Use a 2nd set of 6.5 2-way components or high end coaxes. This will give you excellent mid-bass. Then you can run a single 10 or set of SA-8's and keep your space in your trunk.
