Good SPeaker for rear?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have Infinity Kappa 462.3 in mine.  They work fine for filling the space in the cab.  

I have a Pioneer DEH77 HU, Pioneer 1767's in the front doors, and a Kenwood 50x4w with 2 channels driving the Pioneers and 2 channels driving a 10w3d2 JL Audio sub.  The 4x6's run off the HU.  It's very hard, if not impossible to get good sound, especially bass from 4x6 speakers.  That's why I installed a sub in a homemade MDF sealed box.  I like bass and you just can't get decent bass with 4x6 or 6 3/4 speakers.  

If you are good at cutting the metal, you could fit 6x9's in the rear doors, but then you'd need to dynamat the doors as too much bass in a door speaker makes it sound like a$$.  Rattles like crazy.

One of the probs with those Kenwoods is the surround is made of cloth.  It'll wear down and eventually you'll be where you are now, looking for new speakers.  

Good luck!  :D

if your going to buy new 4x6s, i strongly suggest that they are 4x6s plates. they would sound a lot better then the coaxial kind. i personally run 4" components that came with a plate to fit in a 4x6 location. so i have all the great features of a true component set. but are kind of expensive if you just want a simple replacement.

Haha! Didn't believe me huh? Well here are two more recommendations for plates. Wait till red hears about this one......hehe.

Ok whats the difference between the plate and regular?

 

I am not the brightest when it comes to speakers

 

Do they attach the same?  

 

Also circuit city sells them and so does crutchfield (sounddomain is $50 more expensive)

 

Where should i buy from?  Circuit city do i have to buy the installation kit extra?  Crutchfield is free correct?

 

Thanks and bear with my ignorance

Definitely try to go with the plate style.  You get the performance of a component configuration in a factory mounting location.

Since you're not adding an amp or headunit you can just uninstall the stock ones and replace with the plates. You can even use the same screws if you want. While you have the door panels off.....did I say door panels? Yep, you might want to dynamat the insides of the doors so you don't have to do it later.

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
