CDT Audio CL-69CX

Hello all,

I am looking for imput from anyone with any experience with the aforementioned components. My factory free Sirius subscription ends next month, so it is time to start upgrading the factory sound system on my 2008 Dodge Ram pickup. I am looking at a middle-of-the-road SQ-oriented component set for the front doors of my truck, which are 6x9 coaxials from the factory. I came across these CDT 6x9 components and they look promising. I like the idea of being able to mount the driver without any type of adapter that would be necessary with a 6 1/2" or 5 1/4" component set. I have not been able to find the mounting depth on them though, would anyone that knows where to look better than i do be able to shed some light on this?

Also, with regards to these components specifically or 6x9 component sets in general, are there any potential advantages/drawbacks to a 6x9 component vs. a 6.5" or 5.25" component other than ease of mounting in a factory 6x9 location? Anything with regards to performance?

i think it would sound better using and adapter and using 6.5 " cdt comps up front

over cdt 6x9 comps

I have a set of the CDT CL-69 mids in the rear deck of my altima. They sound pretty good as I am just using them as woofers. I'm sure paired with the tweeters and crossover as a component set they would sound great.

Can you elaborate on that comment? Why would the 6.5" round woofer sound better than the 6x9 woofer? Also can you give your definition of "better?" Keep in mind I am more into SQ than SPL.
