6 speaker upgrade

[BBhorn]

My order from crucified came today.Awesome company to deal with by the way. I thought I was putting the 6x9 in the front doors. Obviously they won't fit. How will it sound with the 6.5 in front? Im keeping the head unit and have no amp. I bought the 4 ohm resistor if I need to wire it in later for the dash.

This is what I got.

I thought the front doors were 6x9s? Maybe that’s just the Alpine system that has those. Looks like you have a nice setup.

I know in June when I do my upgrade I’m getting a Maestro DSP alone with a 6 channel amp and 2 sets of Alpine S 6x9 component speakers. I’ll put the 6x9s in the doors and the tweeters in the front dash and where my surrounds are. Should sound sweet. I may go with an 8 channel amp to do the tweeters to to clean up their sound as well. I’m not sure.

The fronts are 6×9 but I think the ones I got are too deep. Ok ill find out tomorrow. Thanks

Ah. Possibly. The guy that was helping me set mine up did say the doors are a little shallow. Good luck. I’ve heard decent things about Kicker speakers recently.

Thanks ill let you know how it turns out. Good luck to you as well.

I’ve got the 6 speaker setup in my truck too. When I upgraded my speakers I put 6x9’s in all 4 doors. The front door just needs a little spacer so they’ll fit.


I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

True then do you think I should return the 6.5 and get another set of 6×9 for the back.

Install the 6x9’s in the front doors and see if you like them. If you do then return the smaller speakers and get the 6x9’s. I don’t regret doing that in my truck.

I think that sounds like a plan. Thank you I will report back.

 

[Michael]

What headunit are you using?

[BBhorn]

I have a 2018 so its the 8.4 but I think Panasonic.

When I first replaced the speakers in my truck i had the 5.0, I hated that radio. The speakers made it sound much better. I then put an aftermarket one in and the speakers sound even better.

get some spacers for the front 6x9s, you should be able to go up to 3/8ths, 1/2" and its hell trying to get the panel back on. I use to have all the depth measurements for all the speakers down pat. I used 1/4" on my focals and the work just fine, what happens is it hits the window frame bracket that goes up and down.

you also need some bass resistors for the dash speakers

My kicker upgrade same with spacers.

But u can buy or make some.

Thank you all for the help and suggestions.

For a spacer on my front doors I just used some of that foam weatherstripping. It gave me the thickness I needed. It sealed good between the speaker and door. And of course I happened to already have some.

If I'm not mistaken, many prefer the sound of 6.5s over 6x9. You may want to try them out and see if you like them?

Since he's already got them it couldn't hurt, good suggestion.
