just refoamed some old pioneer 4 way 6x9's

after watching some reconeing vidoes i figured id re-foam these old speakers. first time repairing a speaker ever. they say they are rated for 150w peak 50w rms. probably has to do with the fact its a 4 way too.. when i played music out of them the first time the foam surround crumbled apart instantly from being so old. so i bought some cheep surround replacements off ebay for about 5 bucks and this was my end result. havent even tested them yet im waiting till tomorrow to make sure the glue is fully set.

ok i dont have anything to put these in so i bought some cheep 6x9 boxes form kragan auto parts, anyway hooked a small amp i had lying around and hooked up my ipod they sound good! im willing to bet these could sound really good if i had an eq and independent signal going to each individual speaker and tweeter on them. they have a great snap and crisp mids and hi's as is tho. im young myself but i think some of the vintage stuff is pretty cool

Those small enclosures will hurt bass output. those speakers are designed to be run infinite baffle, either in the rear parcel shelf, or the doors. So placing them in small sealed boxes will decrease cone excursion and bass response will suffer.

really? cuz they sure do sound good in these box's. they dont exactly have a lot of excursion either im sure if i had a ported box they wouldnt be moving too much air... and if that were the case then wouldnt all sealed boxes hurt speakers and subs alike? i dont think its going to be a problem they arent highly sensitive pieces instrumentation were looking at.. there speakers dude..
