Infinty Reference: 2 way 6.5s vs. 3 way 6 X 9s?

[Aaron]

is there a big difference in the sound quality of 3 way 6 X 9 infinty reference speakers in comparison to the 2 way 6.5 infinty references? the price difference (on ebay) is about 20 bux more for the 6X9s...is it worth the extra money?

[ckyskater733]

well it depends what you want. since there are 2 speaker sizes, it shows that you want some in the front and the back. if you dont already have good speakers in the front, get those first, then work on the rear fill

[Aaron]

the question i want to know is if there will be a big sound difference if i have 3-way 6X9s in the back instead of 2-way 6.5s...

[thewoahna]

Personally, I would take the 6x9's (more cone = more bass)

[accordztech]

no matter what..reference is only for clarity...not much bas at all...they suck...compared to pioneer 4 way 6x9 its just a sweet pleasent sound...pioneer 4 way is the way to go...

if id get infinity id get kappas

[Aaron]

the problem with kappas is that they are expensive and you have to amplify them...and with your opinion that the 6.5 references have no bass, i think they put out decent bass for a 6.5 speaker, i havent yet listened to the 6X9s...

pioneer has many different models...which ones are these 4-ways your raving about?

also...from my knowledge pioneers sell for a lot cheaper than infinities (on ebay atleast...), why is this so if they are a speaker speaker like you say?

[alb_accord]

i love those 6x9 pionieers. they sound like u have a system in the back. lol.

one word of advice. don't buy audiobahn for the front. they suck

[thewoahna]

This is true... the pioneers would be another good choice... I have pioneer 2 way 6.5 in the front and I am very happy with them, plus they cost a lot less

[Aaron]

are all pioneers good or just a specific model?

Prolly just something like that is best bang for buck

[accordztech]

i tried those 4 ways..they rock...

sound really nice on a stock system..even nicer on an amp...

id save 6.5 for the fronts...pioneer 4 ways are nice or component fosgates....

round speakers will always sound better than ovals. its just in the way the sound is produced.

6x9 produce more "bass" because of the larger cone area, however u need the highs and midrange from the rest of ur speakers to balance or it just sounds bad

i have kenwood 6.5" all the way around with a powered alpine head and it sounds pretty decent it actually sounds better than the speakers did on a kenwood head and amp

infinity is decent sound and doesnt require alot of power, pioneers sound okay too and can take alittle more power

if possible go to a car audio store and listen to the speakers there to get a feel of which u like better

[accordztech]

round and circle speakers...last i remember 6x9 arent either LMAO>..its more rectangular circle hahaha

yea infinities has nice sound but their reference amped or not..i dont like..but kappas OH GOSH>>>!

[casterX]

find your self some old school JBL T595 limited.. then you'll know what a 6x9 can do..

[Aaron]

well i have some infinity 6.5s for the front...and i want more bass for the back so i got these hopefully i wont regret getting them...
