4x6 speakers

[Sabrewing5]

In your opinion what are the better 4x6 speakers? My front 4x6 speaker is blown and i need to get new ones so I was wondering what companies make the better 4x6 speakers. Thanks (I didnt use best because it is a general term and i know some people get upset when others say best, so i left it out)

what are you looking for? midbass or just getting loud? 2way?3 way? 4 way? component?

Well I dont know what u r talking about since i am pretty new at this, but right now i have 2 12s for bass and i was wondering if i could just have the bass coming from them so i can here the music real clear up front, I have a kenwood HU if that matters but i am not sure what model. I used to have kenwood 4x6. these will be run just off of the HU I have my 6x9s running off of an amp so the 4x6s will be the only two off of the HU

what kind of 6x9's do u have? brand and model. What settings do you have your amp thats powering the 6x9's. Do u have tweeters? and you are probly going to have to get an external crossover for your 4x6's if you want them to just hit high notes

I disagree.. if you speaker has seperate subwoofer pre outs to run a sub amp, you can turn your bass down on the HU and turn your sub level up on you HU so you still have good bass (cheapest way to handle the problem i guess)... but actually the better scenario would be having a high pass filter on your head unit (check the manual) so that you could block out certain ranges of lower frequencies so that its easier to keep your speakers from distorting with the bass (nicer HUs have this feature).. however.. if you have neither then i suppose a crossover or amp w/ crossover would be the best way... i wouldnt really suggest bass blockers cause i heard they suck but its another option

good job on saying a whole lot of nothing

[AndonD454]

yeah ok guy.. i was basically saying that he obviously doesnt know a whole lot about car audio so i wouldnt picture him spending money for a crossover (probably the better solution) to help a problem that can be fixed to his standards by just messing with his head unit if it has the features

[AndonD454]

especailly when a high pass filter essentially does the same job as a crossover but in a way thats easier to control.. and if its in the HUs features why waste money?
