good 6x9s

[AnDReII]

i need a good set of 6x9s that will take alot of beating,
ive had a set of jl audios that the tweeters blew up on me and a set of kickers that did the same thing,
what do you guys think would be a good option.. ill pay up to around the $350 mark

[sweefu]

What were you running the previous speakers off? I'd find the cause of your problem before buying more, speakers should not blow up.

ummmm alpine vpower 600watt 4 channel, i think its 600 if not then its 500w,
its funny coz my fronts blew aswell... its so bad i have no highs at all... got mids and lows but no tweeters-.-
i gota get it all retuuned but i guess i still need speakers and for the front im probably gona get the alpine spx17 pro but not sure about the back as of yet, thats why im asking for help

Mounting holes should be in the same place, will just need to plug the gaps. I've never had any personal experience with these though, so I could well be wrong.

they really aren't going to fit into an oval hole...

I think the VZ Calais parcel shelf had 6x9's, see if you can get one from the wreckers

I know you can get an adapter for them in a VX commodore, they just go right in.

Check out this thread.

And the metal underneath should just pop out use a hammer or fist lol...
Although I seen your other thread about subs, if you are going to get subs you
wont need 6x9's in ya shelf mate, some 2 ways in the rear doors will suffice.
although I would still put the holes in your shelf so the subs can port straight into the cabin "

Hey Guys, I was just looking @ the Vibe Splits, I like what I see..
Has anyone seen those over here or heard them Running?

My Vy SV8 had no speakers in parcel shelf, so cut the trim made some nice MDF 6x9 templates and just cut enough room for 5.1/4" for the rears.
Im not a fan of Back Door Speakers.

Alpine Type R SPR69C. Do it once, do it properly.

There probably other good speakers but I always use and recommend Alpine.

And for that reason, you will never be taken seriously.

There are thousands of good speakers, but I get where your coming from.

I only use Clarion just because I can.

[bogan_vk]

[aaronevolution]

They explode

[Jonah 101]

Yeh i hooked a xplod 6x9 up to my sub amp. went okay than it just stopped and smoke came out lol thats because I partially blew the other one though. they are fine if you just want sound, but they dont take a beating.

I don't care if you don't take my advice seriously. I was only giving my opinion. I couldn't care less if you went out and bought (example) Audioline speakers, they will be going to your car, not mine.

It's really a personal preference when choosing what sound system you want, some people like other brands more then others.

I was just thinking of how this reminds me of the Fords vs Holden arguement.....
