Do you lose sound?

[SunOfABeach]

I had an RSX in which the specs were 6.5"

Now I bought a mustang and the specs are 6" x 8"

So now I have 4 Memphis co-axial speakers collecting dust.

The guy at the store says that I'll lose sound if I put the 6.5" in.

Is he just being a sales man? Can't I just stick with Memphis? They are awesome speakers. Help?

No, if anything they will sound better than

6 x ochos...

Just buy plastic baffles with 6.5 cut outs..

Hey man I live in Franklin Lakes, right by Paramus. =D You won't lose sound. It all depends on the speaker. Round speakers are said to have better SQ than 6x9s per say and oval speakers. Are you amping them? I don't know much about the mustang systems but I know some people say their mach systems are loud do you have that?

i made some baffels for a ford 150 the other day to convert a 6x8 into a 6.5'' out of hardboard. worked very good and cheap just rattle canned them and they were good to go

Yes. I have a memphis amp to power the 4 coaxials. I have the Mach500 which is just the 6-disc CD changer. I'm not sure if I should change the head unit?

I aint gonna lie the Mach systems are loud, but their quality is crap.. real crappy...

Change the HU and go from there..

Where do you buy the plastic inserts. Crutchfield? And by the way, I don't know what head unit to get. I'f I am going to buy a HU, then I want the best. However, I really don't need the screen panels that are extremely cool but extremely expensive.
