Golf ball hit my back windshield (6x9 is busted)

[pengh 10+ year member]

Could the impact of the golf ball blow my little 6x9... OK how does this happen. My car was parked in a parking lot by a golf course and the rear windshield gets hit by a golf ball. The tint held the shatter together but my 6x9 (rear right) sounds blown. How did it blow. there is no glass by the speaker at all I don't even see how glass could get in ther because the holes on the protection cover are so small.

maybe you had a shard drop between the stand/post for the highs and the cone!?

it was probably blown, you just didn't notice till you were looking for it.

The law varies state by state, but here in the communist wealth the golfer that hit the ball is held responsible not the golf course. There are signs posted at every course here stating that fact, and that the golf course isn't responsible for property damage. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It's just a 6x9. Take 'em out anyway, use the money that you get from the course or the golfer, buy yourself some nice 6.5 comps for the front. There, problem solved...

Maybe he should take the money and buy a new back windsheild? I mean I just thought that was the smarter thing.

What should I not buy a new pair of 6x9's? The origonal stock speakers were 6x9, that's what fits back there. Wat the f*ck do I do Man. These f*cking golfers

No, a golf ball simply impacting your window would not blow a speaker. Coincidence.

ditch the rear fill, get a nice set of front comp. the right amplification and you are good to go

+1... blown and you hadn't noticed.

Ditch the 6x9s, as well as the rear fill. Spend the money on a better front stage.

I disconnected the rear speakers a while ago. Front comps are more than enough for the passengers... Easier to hear them when its turned down too.

Wow, Ok so ditch the rear. I'm sh*t at this... Can someone give me an an idea of how to start doing a front comp (Picture maybe). Maybe someone has a link to get me started?
