pioneer bargain
Yesterday went for long drive, long story short ended up at a cashies 35km from my place. they were having a massive sale, and of all the things they had a real nice looking set of pioneer 6x9s for sale.
Already had some allright back speakers but these looked so nice and were only $30. figured **** it get them who cares if they sound average they look mad.
Went to buy them to find that one had a tiny crack in it, talked ot the salesman he's like try another shop we're all on sale atm.
Went back home went to our local one, they had nothing liek them, asked hte salesman, they had just gotten in a brand new set that looked identical except they were black. and they were $90..... told him i saw the same set at the other shop for 30 on sale he's like lol not these, im like they had a tiny tear in them, i know u cant do same price whats best u can do.
Long story short kept haggling, eventuallly got him down to 70 and wasnt going to buy it, must have been a slow day kept walking around he went and pressured the boss in what felt like a boiler room sales tactic and then convinced me 60 was a fair deal. Wasnt in a great mood shopping makes me feel better decided **** it get them, gives me something else to get my mind of the breakup. bought them.
Went to car last night wired them up to notice they are a SHITLOAD more powerful then i thought.
300w pioneer 6x9s, sound amazing and more powerful then my subwoofer + fronts with splits..... dont know model number but tempted to try find another pair and put them in the front

How are you going to fit 6x9s in the front doors of a VR?
You would need to make custom pods from fibreglass / MDF etc. Not to mention the mounting depth would require a larger pod than the stock one.

if it will sound better why not

I dont think it will to be honest.....much better off getting a decent set of 6.5" splits and run them off an amp with 100wrms+ per channel.
When you consider the cost and time needed to build a set of custom pods to suit 6x9s, it will be easier (and cheaper) to upgrade the current splits. The Jaycars (i assume theyre Jaycars?) are a nice set, but for $300-$400 you could get better results with splits.
By all means, go for it.....obviously its your car and you can do whatever you want, this is just my opinion

well the car has some front 6x6s with splits that sly put in before i bought the car from him, they are allright but the back speakers are caning them. u reckon plugging front speakers and splits into my amp would help them out? they are just straight into head unit, got a 400w pioneer amp in the boot thats only powering my subwoofer
Custom Car Stereo Systems
So youve got 6" splits (woofers in the doors and tweeters?) in the front running off the head-unit?
I would imagine the 400w Pioneer amp is a 2ch. So it will be bridged to run the sub, this means you wont be able to power the front speakers as well. Powering them off an amp will make a huge difference to how they sound. In my opinion your much better off buying a second amplifier to power the splits, or use the existing 400w amplifier to power the splits and buy a better amp to run the sub.

its a 4 channel amp but head unit only has one rca out

A pair of RCA splitters solves that. Turn one pair of RCAs into two pairs.

head unit only has one rca out which is subwoofer. u reckon run a wire to the back for front left and right out puts, amp it and plug front speakers into amp?

What brand / model head-unit do you have?
