Rear 6x9 Suggestions?

[cmdrkettch]

Hi everyone, I'm new to both these forums and the whole car audio scene. Recently, I bought a Eclipse CD5000 head unit and am waiting for the wire harness to come in before I can start the installation. What would be some good 6x9 speakers to pair up with the head unit?

What I'm looking to do is compensate for my lack of a subwoofer. The speaker should have good bass response and mellow highs. I'd like to hear some thump from the back, and also have the option to upgrade the front speakers later. I listen to a wide variety of music, from classical to pop to rock to hip-hop. Since I'd like to reproduce sounds accurately from all the types of music I listen to, I'm more interested in SQ over SPL. Looking to spend as close to $100 as possible, but willing to go up to around $150.

I thought multi-ways would be the best route to take. Since these will be for rear fill, I thought silk would be a good material for the tweeters. And respectively, titanium would be a bad tweeter material for me. Please enlighten me if my reasoning was incorrect! Pioneer's TS-D691R seemed to be a good fit. They had silk tweeters and the Kevlar material they use for the cones seemed pretty exotic. When I heard them in person at a local car audio shop, they seemed kind of weak though. I was quite disappointed with what I heard.

Does anyone have any suggestions at speakers or cone materials I could take a look at? I want to keep my interior as stock as possible, so no components, please. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Thanks!

Polk Audio db's. Very sweet highs. Just sweet period. Welcome to the forum. When you decide to work on your front stage because it is more important and rear, if your not interested in comp's I would suggest the polk momo's . Awesome coax and will handle lots of power. Just be sure to amp them.

Pioneer REV/Premier TS-D901P or TS-D691R (same speakers, slightly different colored "grill"). No question, no doubt.

If they sound good on HU power why would you only recommend them with an amp?

Anyways, just go with a 6.5 midbass and run an adapter, OR bottom mount 8's in there
