any good 6x9's?

does anyone know of any good but AFFORDABLE 6x9 speakers that i could put in my lumina? i'm thinking something that will help me get better bass for now since i can't really afford anything close to a decent type of subwoofer or amp. price range is >80 or anything more expensive that i could find cheaper on ebay. thanks guys!

Re: any good 6x9's?

in my opinion, sony X-PLODs are not bad,I had 2 6x9s in custom bxes on the rear deck in my Miata and 2 6 inch ones in the doors.they were not the best in the whole wide world, but the worked well and never crackled at high volume. plus I got the 6x9s on Amazon.com for like $45

Anything sony xplod is junk and almost everyone on here will agree with that. If you want good 6x9's look into some pioneer premier's 3 way they range from about 70 bucks to about 130 bucks and will probably be lower especially if you get them off ebay and they are very reliable.

Type R's sound awesome but they can be somewhat pricey plus they only really sound good if they are amped, look into some Pioneer's they are a reasonable price and make pretty good sound for the price.

Re: any good 6x9's?

^no, Type R's would destroy a damn pioneer, all speakers sound like shit unless you have an amp. You can get a 50x4 rms amp for about 75-125 shipped look into a set of MB Quarts i got them on ebay for 89 shipped on 75 watts those things sounded amazing compared to the set of JBL's i had. The infinity kappa's sound pretty damn nice to, make sure you price an amp with this 4 ch would be the best choice then you can run all the speakers on the amp.

Re: any good 6x9's?

I think Infinity would be good for you. These are for the front right?

they're for the back. i already replaced the door speakers with some retail value $120 panasonic something or others..idk my friend picked them out and installed them, i wasn't even really allowed to touch them. but for $15 total on the speakers and a free install, who'd complain?

Re: any good 6x9's?

Oh. well i was going to say, most of the audio people on this site would recommend a decent set up front, maybe even components(you would need an amp) Then you wouldnt need anything in the back.
