Consider what I'm doing and putting a 6.5 component set in the sail panels. I'm going all out with the premium speaker wire and dynamatting the inside of tha sails but you could just grab a couple pieces of MDF board and make yourself a new plate to replace the stock 6x9 plates and use the eisting wire without the dynamat.

Of course, the sound quality and low frequency reproduction won't be as good.

 

im just wanting to stick with the 6x9 set up, thank you for the idea though!

 

Are you trying to drive them straight off the head unit or amp them?

 

just off the headunit, like the factory speakers, all i did when i installed my sonys was i just the stock connectors off from the factory speakers and added my new speaker connectors.

 

Yeah. The 6x9s from a PO I took out were OK like that until I drove them on an amp. Be very leary of speakers that advertise that much wattage for <$50

 

found some new ones im leaning towards, rockford fosgate R1693 PRIME speakers

 

If you're looking for good cheap speakers I would just get a set of Pioneers. Sometimes you can pick up a used pair for $30-$40.

 

i was looking at a set of those actually untill i came acrossed the fosgates. i think im going to get them. my buddy has a set in his 88 camaro and they sound good and he hasnt blown them yet and he plays his music louder than me.
