If you don't want a large subwoofer taking all the space in your trunk, then as car audio specialists we would recommend you to get a pair of 6x9 speakers. They have great potential to provide subwoofer like bass in your car due to having a large cone area. If setup right, 6x9 speakers can actually sound like subwoofers. Today you will learn how to make your 6x9 speakers sound like subs and you will impress your friends when you show them there is nothing in the trunk.
Here is the secret recipe for transforming your 6x9 speakers into mini subs:
1) Fit the speakers into 6x9 boxes. You can get theses prebuilt in pairs and are made from MDF wood the same material sub enclosures are made from. This will provide greater bass as we have tested this at the shop if compared to drilling a hole in the back parcel shelf and sticking them in.
2) Attach a small mini amp. Most 6x9 speakers are rated around 100 watts rms. Whether its a stock or aftermarket radio its not going to provide that level of power. What you need to get the most out of them is a 2 channel amp that matches the power rating found on the back of the speakers.
3) Set the LPF filter on the amp. Setting this will only send bass frequencies to the 6x9 speakers, they will not play any vocals or voice at all filtering out treble completely. What you can do is use the front car speakers for vocals and place the 6x9 speakers on the back seats or shelf and use them just for bass. Setting it up this will provide a subwoofer like bass experience to the best possible ability without actually having them installed.
