Stay faaaaaarrrrrrr away from Pioneer. I have a pair, and they sound like sh*t (Dunno if cursing is allowed, time to read the FAQ)

outta the two id say go with the pioneer but if you look around at a couple of different site such as ikesound.com im sure you could find some better quality 6x9s for $100 and under.

I have a pair of the pioneer TS-A6990r running off of my factory head unit and they produce great mids and high,

This statement is so wrong on so many levels...

Pioneer full range speakers are so unbelievably horrible that hearing them makes true audiophiles gag uncontrollably. Their sound reminds me of a fat ***** lady farting in a big tub of raw sewage.

There ya go..........look for something better.

Hey Eldude...your really wrong on your statement! 6x9's can be amazing cause mine are! So don't say nothin' like that it's dumb...My 6x9's probably sound better the your regular speakers

Well, actually, no, I'm not wrong, but thanks for affirming some of my suspicions about the 6x9 consumer market.

What's your reference for mids and highs, kid? Your iPod earbuds? The speakers that came with your PC? A boombox?

6x9's can sound impressive and can sound loud. This is not good, if "good" means realistic and accurate. And 6x9's on a head unit aren't producing "great" mids and highs for anyone, anywhere.

So don't say anything like that...

First of all this kid will be running them off of an amp so there not bein' run off of a Head Unit

Secondly, Boom Box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Thirdly, Gonna say it again My 6x9's are extremley accurate especially with my time delay feature from my Alpine and bein' able to correct them. So...Therefore my 6x9's are very good and so are many others.

And maybe Ipod too... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

A time delay feature doesn't improve the accuracy of a speaker driver. It can improve the accuracy of the entire system, but not of an individual driver.

Oh, but you don't have an individual driver... you have a two or three-way combination, with a 6x9 cone playing wild on the high end (the reason that high end components have low pass xover filters to cone mids is because the dsitort like mad at the top end, so filtering out that high end makes for lower distortion, but 6x9's don't DO that) and a tweeter with a first-order series cap on the low end...(the reason high-quality seperates use cap/coil second-order combinations, which 6x9's don't do either ) (except for tht high end set of DLs, which you don't have, and which even though they do that xover thing, they still sound like 6x9's) and if it's a three-way, you have TWO tweeters, and NO real mid.

You have a huge hole in your upper mid and lower treble, with peaky distortion from the cone breakup modes, first off just due to the drivers, and second, due to the fact that off-axis, your 6x9 woofer cone is going to beam like a mo-fo, and at your ears your upper mid/lower treble FR will ****.

And iPod earbuds are not a reference for anything sonic.

Oh... did you really want to talk about the weather, or were you just making chit-chat?

So give it up bud...the statemtent you made was wrong it's fine take the blame and if ya didn't know I was just kidding about the Ipod...I thought you would've of gotten it. To even say what you said is just dumb...oh yeah thanx Jackson...lol

Your by-nines **** *** like all the rest, and you're just afraid to admit it. Sad, really. And next time, make your sarcasm stand out more from your simply misguided ranting about "tri-axials" (which they ain't).

Have you counted the tweeters? I thought not.
