DAT240Z Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I'm in the market for some 6 x 9 speakers for my 240z. I have been out of the car stereo game for a long time, not sure what good anymore. I was looking on crutcfield web page and saw a few speakers I'm interested in. Would you guy's look at them and give me recommendation, as I have not heard any of the play. I listen to a wide range of music from old school Hip Hop, top 40, soft rock and reggae. My set up consist of 6-1/2 components in the front, one 12" sub in the spare tire compartment , 6 x 9 in the back I will run the 6 x9 and the 6- 1/2 of my Alipne 80 W x four amp. once I fine a good set to buy. http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/ProdComp.asp?g=52300&s=0&c=3&cc=01&compareItems=500SPR69C&compareItems=065SX95&compareItems=1086939I&compareItems=109GTO937&compareItems=136TR690TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B00STDZ Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 You cant go wrong with pioneer premier or rockford fosgate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 always been partial to Infinity Kappa 6x9s with EMItweeters. If you can set up a bo to set them at the right angle, the acoustics in the S30 are phenomenal.. I had my kappas rolling around in the back in boxes for four years and I could hear a world of difference between having them just sitting on the deck pointing forwards, and being propped up and pointing along the roofline of the car. That much would hold true for any 6x9 I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.deady Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 i am going with the rockford fosgate titanium series 6x9 in the rear and 6 1/2 in the front... they sound great, i am using a sony head unit with no amp for the speakers and they are very clear and crisp... good luck mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxjoeyxxeb Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Alpine Type R. Or if you want a little more bass from a 6 x 9 that still sounds good, Kicker's are surprisingly good. My friend has Alpine Type S in his MG and it sounds decent as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letitsnow Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I've got 4 infinity reference 6.5" rounds in the 300zx, they REALLY need a sub. No bass at all. Sound quality is decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have the infinity reference 6x9's as well. Personally I got them because they didnt' have much base, but they have awesome sound quality. In my opinion anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 meh, reference is the red-headed stepchild of the infiniti automotive speaker world. if you like references, you'll LOVE kappas... Trebles so crisp they'll make yer eardrums bleed. You haven't LIVED until you've heard Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds at 75 volume on an eclipse deck (it goes to 100, but 50-55 is deafeningly insane..)

xxjoeyxxeb Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 You haven't lived until you've heard Pink Floyd's The Wall with Diamond Audio Hex speakers with Silk Dome Tweeters powered by Kicker amp, Kicker L7 12" Sub with 1,000 watts, controlled by an Alpine with Bass Engine Pro system calibrated perfectly. It feels like a helicopter is hovering over the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun723 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 meh, reference is the red-headed stepchild of the infiniti automotive speaker world I'm a redhead....lol. I'm running 2 Infinity Reference 3 ways in the msa box with an Infinity Reference 475A powering them and they are CRYSTAL CLEAR! Techno and rock sound wicked. Bass is lacking though...I need a sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The love of JDM Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I used to be a car audio installer for a long time. Ive seen the good bad and the ugly of the car audio market. I personally have used Infinity, Polk Audio, Boston Acustic's, Fosgate, JL Audio, Kenwood, Sony, Pioneer, Clarion. Im prolly forgetting some others. However, sometimes higher priced parts doesnt always mean its the best. (my .02) It also depends on the application as well as what its being used for.

ShaggyZ Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 For what it's worth, I say stay away from 6x9's. Round speakers sound much better, in my experience. I've not heard a 6x9 I didn't nearly cringe at, including "nice," well-powered 6x9's. If I decide to put speakers in the back, it'll be a custom box with probably 6.5's and an 8" sub.

jerryb Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Does it really matter in a S30?? Loud exhaust, road noise and all! Great speakers in a tin box doesnt mean great sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Does it really matter in a S30?? Loud exhaust, road noise and all! Great speakers in a tin box doesnt mean great sound. Sure. My buddy had a '75 with component 5.25" in the doors and two 8's behind the seats - it sounded and felt incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETEW Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I just put a system in the green '73 we have. I also filled the car with sound deadener before I put in new carpet. I had Polk 6x9 put in the rear with polk 4 (I think) up front. I also had a Kicker amp put in. Needless to say you can hear the system just fine. 2 6x9's behind your head will do that.

ArnZ Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Image Dynamics makes a nice 6X9, very well made with outboard crossovers. http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/products.php?Family_Id=7&Product_Id=36 MB Quart makes a good set with outboard crossovers as well. http://www.mbquartusa.com/premium_speakers.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
