So my TSX got 12" sub in the trunk now and everything's perfect except rear 6x9 can't handle low bass. I was thinking about taking it out. any of you tried this? I'm concerned that road noise might be an issue, any thoughts?

 

With my 1st gen CL, I pulled the 6x9 and put in a 6.5 component set... And just let my 10" sub handle the bass... Works great if you ask me... I get highs from all around and then the bass basically comes through the car... I like the sound of it, and I've had nothing but compliments from everyone who rides in the car...

 

actually i'm asking about taking it out, not replacing it.

 

i took both of mine out, theres a slight noticiable difference. a little louder in the cabin

 

^ what about the road noise? do you feel any difference at all?

 

i dont notice road noise, got a full system, all my panels/trunk sound deadened, and i listen to my music pretty loud.. and 800w rms to each of my 10's D:

 

i just took them out and it is so much more loud. I can't say they sound better because now i can hear the trunk rattle. but that should be fixed tomorrow when the I change spring out to gas one.

btw, why are there so much metal flakes? my hands were all itchy and i found out when i got done taking them out..

 

beacuse magnet conduct to metal?

just maybe

 

You should definitely take them out for the SQ reason only. This is only assuming that you have a pretty good set of front comps and adequate power.

 

^ nope, i am keeping the stock one. the stock speakers aren't too bad. i can't hear the music well with high bass. if i had money, i'd change them out but for now, i aint got none
