anyone install these in the rear deck? i keep reading that they are HUGE.. just wondering about the fitment on the tsx.

TSXTuner.. whatd you use again for the fitment?

 

Full range 6x9s... Hated it.

Have you gone to Competition Soundworks yet?

 

nah i havent had time yet.. im planning on giving them a call sometime this week or weekend.

what are good speakers for the rear deck?

 

with the OEM amp or something aftermarket?

 

something aftermarket.. im thinking about the JL 500/5... but maybe something cheaper.

 

sorry for the retarded/noob question here..

whats the real difference between component speakers and coaxial speakers? is it the existence of the tweeter within the woofer itself?

so, correct me if im wrong, but for the rear 6x9s it would be better to get coaxial speakers to get mid-to-low range sound.

 

Blasphemy! Don't let elduderino hear you say that.


j/k. In the TSX the 6x9 act like a subwoofer and only receive the low frequencies. Coaxial 6x9 would just waste the tweeter portion of the speaker.

here are some general facts about the TSX system: https://acurazine.com/forums/audio-video-electronics-navigation-22/general-faqs-about-tsx-audio-system-289830/

 

oh mAn.. i really messed that one up! my bad!!

so the component 6x9 Type-Rs are a good choice for the rear deck? what if im planning on running a sub as well?

what are other good speakers for the rear?

 

No worries. LOL. You live and learn. I'm not an expert and I'm running Avincar speakers with the OEM amp. Lets see what the experts say ....

 

If you are running subs you dont need the 6x9's and the guy told me something about my subs fucking up the 6x9's I cant remember. I wasnt really paying a attention it was pick up time for my car and I was too excited. Look at my signature thats my setup and theres pictures of it on my cardomain page http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2094023

 

after a lil more thought.. i think im leaning towards ignoring the 6x9s in the back.

now im just contemplating weather or not to even upgrade the speakers in the rear doors. just getting a better 4-channel amp and better speakers might do the trick.

 

Might I suggest you get an amp, upgrade the front doors and tweeters, add a good sub, and remove the 6x9s alltogether.

 

gCHOW,

If you told us what your budget is, and your goal (sound quality? volume?) and if you want a sub or not, you might get some better suggestions more targeted to your needs.

 

my budget right now is approx $1500..
im gunning for mainly sound quality and im planning on getting a sub as well.

 

Have you seen this thread?: https://acurazine.com/forums/audio-video-electronics-navigation-22/installed-audio-systems-pacific-nw-forum-members-315010/

You might be able to work something out with elduderino to get the equimpent shipped to LA and have Competition Soundworks install it. If not then at least you have a list of the equipment he would recommend. I've seen several very positive posts about the DLS speakers.

I mention this because elduderino is a very respected and knowledgeable member of this forum. I have his Avincar TSX speaker kit and feel it is definitely worth the $425 price. I can only assume that for the systems he has put together in that thread the sound will also be definitely worth the cost.

When I first got the Avincar kit I was going to have it installed professionally. Eldude suggested Competition Soundworks in Cerritos. I eventually installed the kit myself but I did some research and asked around and Competition Soundworks has a very good reputation.

Also, since you live in LA, there is a wealth of audio shops in the area. Go to some, speak to the installers, ask them what they have installed and to listen to their systems. Your ears will guide the way.

Good Luck.

 

thanks for the info, elduderino's info was a great help!

thanks so much!!

 

Whatever you wind up with... lets see you at the following SoCal meet so we can hear it.
