Hello, I'm currently looking into upgrading my rear 6x9s and just want to see what more experienced people have to say.

Right now I'm in between the Infinity REF-9623ix 300W Max 6" x 9" 3-Way and the JBL GTO939 Premium 6 x 9. Just from some light research these seem to be my best options, however I don't have any experience with mid-range speakers. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Here are the links to the speakers:

I have a set of old school very rare Pioneer Rev 6x9swith the yellow Kevlar cone that will blow you away ..I ran them for a short time in the rear deck of my 67 Camaro ..it sounded like I had mini subs the midbass was so strong and just the right amount of highs ..Everything blended so nicely and crystal clear ...it’s a shame Pioneer no longer makes these if you can find a set grab them the last used set I saw on eBay went for $150 they cost $200 new back in the day ..they have a quality high end real crossover built into the speaker connection pod ..I might sale my set but I doubt I’ll get rid of them ...

 
i think u meant to include this link https://www.amazon.com/Infinity-REF-9623ix-Speaker-Edge-Driven-Tweeters/dp/B01E8OZ1KM they probably about the same speakers except 1 is a 3 way, many of us don't run rear speakers at all.. if u have a sub and use hp xovers on speakers as u should get 3 way for front (if u have them in front) and get very very cheap dual cone midrange for rear deck u don't need tweeter back there., parts express has grs 6x9 for like $8 each.. deadening the door is just as important as the speaker, u can also use the foam baffles $10 on rear deck to prevent sub from missing up sound of the speakers

thank you for the info, I have a 2002 chevy cavalier and haven't made door pods (mostly because I'm not very skilled in that sort of work) so that's the only reason why im replacing the rear deck. I can only fit a 4x6 in the doors unless there's a way that I'm unaware of.

lol i had 96 cav.. i thought mine took 6.5" i'll check

 
u don't have monsoon system right? even without it looks like 4" 4x6 maybe few 5 1/4 will fit but must be very shallow mount under 2".. thats *****.. u really need hp xover, u say just hu power is it stock?, if not u need hu with xovers and 24 bit da convertor both will help a ton, louder and less distortion.. u can set door speakers to play 120hz up and rears to play down to 70hz.. u just need any type of sub (well not any) but small 10" sub even in small box with small used amp or even a dualxpr82d 2 channel $59 walmart (guy here tested does pretty good power) and u would have full range sound speakers wouldn't distort and little bass.

 
u don't have monsoon system right?
No I don't have a monsoon system, and i haven't actually taken my doors apart. That's just what I've researched online from multiple sites.
