6 1/2's are they worht it

i have a set of 6 1/2 three way speakers sitting around from a old project is it worth throwing them in on my 09 access cab the ceiling speakers are garbage and im just wondering if it is worth throwing some 6 1/2's in the door or should i just save up and get a nice set of 6 x9's instead?

 

I prefer a nice 6.5" over a 6x9, if I am going to be using a sub. Otherwise, a 6x9 will most likely give you a littl bit better midbass and bass response.

 

90% of decent sounding installs will utilize a 6.5" speaker so there isn't any reason to fear them. Anyone who says you can't get bass out of a 6.5" speaker doesn't know what their doing.

 

I'm assuming that you are not directing that at my post, since I didn't say you couldn't get bass out of 6.5"s.

Either way, I'd try the 6.5's out for now and see if they respond better than the stock POS. Then, save for a nice set of 6.5" components.

 

Yea toss them in an notice how the stock tweeter magnet dwarfs the stock woofer magnet

 

Okay sounds like it's prob worth throwing them in but from what I understand I'm going to need some sort of mounting bracket and a wire so I can hook up to the stock plugs are there any other options out there besides tacotunz? Nothing against them just wondering what's out there

 

perfer 6.5 better than 6x9 like everyone said what i did i installed 6.5 components and it sounds great good midbass and hi's

 

As always, there's Marv

 

I made my own mounting brackets out of mdf. 1/2" for the rear, 3/4" for the front. It wasn't difficult. I just used the stock speakers as a template. Then, I spliced in some spade connectors to the stock speaker wires.

 

No not at all. I've heard other people on this forum state that you can't get midbass out of 6.5's. I agree that 6x9's have the advantage in cone area but a good 6.5" speaker is hard to beat.
