Need help deciding 6x9 speakers for rear

[chevelle]

Hello, My first post ! Yay!

I have a camry, the stock speakers at rear have given up. I am looking to replace with a good pair of 6x9.

I have been quoted $100 installed for Rockford Fosgate Prime 1693. Same price for pioneer 6973R.

Is it a good price to pay and how are the speakers? I read online reviews saying Prime 1693 have more mids and highs than bass. Is it true? I also came across kicker. Forgot the model number but they are in same price range. Which one would members here suggest?

I want good amount of bass without going for sub and amp. These will be driven by head unit which is a jvc 6300. The front speakers are in good condition. Don't want to change now.

Any other speakers i should look at? My budget is around $100-$120 installed.

Thank you. Sorry if posted anything wrong.

Check out Powerbass 3XL series. One of the best bang for the buck speakers I know of right now.

Thank you for your responses.

The problem is, not many stores carry 2-way speakers anymore. Most of them are 3 way. Adding a sub and amp is too costly, will have to do it in stages.

@mylows: Can you suggest some 2-way speakers?

Thank you

pioneer ts-d series are a little higher but give decent bass plus the tweeter is better quality than most on the coaxials

the scenario for audio installation is very ugly in sacramento.

most of the installers are trying to fleece customers. sky high prices now a days for just a pair of speakers. i have got quotes from $150-$200 for a pair of 6x9s. none of them seems to be appealing to my ears.

i don't have tools or expertise to do the install myself.

need some intervention //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Your not going to get crap for bass from a pair of 6x9's on headunit power , just give up on that thought cause it's not gonna happen.

While i understand your concern, i am not looking at mind blowing bass. I am just trying to match it to my current set up. I have no high expectation too, but i need atleast a little bit of bass and not flat response from speakers. i hope you get what i meant.
