6 x 9 depth

I've bought some vibe front component speakers and a vibe active sub for the boot, i'm stuck on what size 6x9s to get for the rear panels, cause i'm not sure of the depth - i dont collect the car till friday. cna anyone help?

Hi and welcome!

6 X 9's will fit into the rear panels but I'm not sure of the depth. Do a search and see what turns up.

Another thought is: do you need 6 X 9's in the first place. A decent set of components in the front should provide a decent soundstage and the sub will give you the extra oomph that you need. If all that is connected to a half decent amp, any rear speakers should be redundant.

Plenty of space depth wise in the rear

I have 10" subs in the rear panels, and they're mounted off the metalwork i.e. further back than the panels. Loads of depth. See here.

I fitted some MB Quart 6x9 in the rear connected via an alpine amp, I already had a set of MB Quart mid/tweeter components in the front powered by the head unit and overall I would have said that I a really pleased with the way it now sounds.

My ears actually hurt when I turn it up now (very loud) so I have fader set more to the front than back but I still feel that the sound is all around rather than coming directly from the front and my feet. Bass is much improved with the rear 6x9 as well.

But I suppose that one mans perfect setup is another mans nightmare.

I have to sayI am with MABR, I would not bother with 6x9's and would just run good (amped) components up front and a decent sub (and the Vibe CBR series are very good).

That is just my opinion though, and ultimately it is down to what makes you happy.

You could also add some sound-absorbing material.
Check out this thread for some tips (it´s in swedish but there are plenty of pics ):

Yeah why go with the odd 6x9" when you could use a great speaker of std size 6.5"..? Fits straight on mate!
Especially when you already have a lot of bass from yer boot.

Remember for soundproofing, don't fit the material to the metal(wings), put them on the plastic panels. They may get damp you know..

I will install 6x9" in the back. Don´t want to install a sub and an amplifier in the boot. Need the space for other stuff

Installed two 6x9" this weekend. Much better sound!
Gonna play some RnB now

Next project will be a sub in the trunk on the left side

Haha missed the link in my previous post Check this subwoofer:

Hopefully the trunk space will be left intact

By the way has anyone got a design for the Subwoofer Base box in the link?
