6X9 car speakers are an great addition to adding more volume to your car stereo, often they are fitted with an over powering subwoofer to increase the amount of treble in your car. This helps balance out the overall sound output from the vehicles car audio system, increasing the range of vocals, as when adding an aftermarket car subwoofer usually this creates overpowering bass to be heard without actually hearing the music. 6X9 speakers can be either fitted directly into the existing parcel shelf in your vehicle by cutting holes. In most cases this works fine, however if your have heavy duty 6X9 car speakers, then you may want to create an shelf out of MDF replicating the original parcel shelf but with stronger wood. Overtime, 6x9 car speakers that are loud with huge magnets can way down the parcel shelf and cause it to sink.
In terms of wiring 6x9 car speakers there are an few options. One of the easiest options is to wire it directly to the rear channels on your factory or aftermarket car stereo. Most of the time, there are factory car speakers in the rear doors, you will need to disconnect these for you to add your 6x9 car speaker to each left and right rear channels. You can add your 6x9 car speakers and keep the rear door speakers playing all off the same rear channels from the back of the headunit, however this will cause the ohm load to each rear channel to be lower than standard. Each 6x9 car speaker will be rated at 4 ohm and so will the factory door speaker, adding them together wiring them side by side will create an 2 ohm load. This will work, but overtime will damage the internal amplifier in the car headunit, as most can't handle an 2 ohm load for long periods of time. Even if it does work, you will get lots of distortion this way. The best method if you're wiring directly from the car headunit is to disconnect the factory rear speakers and use the two remaining channels just for the 6x9 car speakers. This way they will get all the sufficient power the factory or aftermarket headunit can provide from the rear channel of the wiring harness.
If you want the maximum bass and loudness from your car 6x9 speakers, then the best way is to get an separate two channel amplifier. This will allow clean output and provide the 6x9 car speakers to reach there full potential. Adding an car audio amplifier will make the 6x9 car speaker sound quality cleaner and distortion free. This is the proper way to do it, but due to the extra effort of installing an car audio amplifier, people often avoid this. Make sure you match the RMS of each 6x9 car speaker with an aftermarket car audio amplifier you are considering buying. RMS is the true wattage rating per car speaker, the other car speaker max or peak power ratings are just rubbish so you buy the thing. To do it right, you need an two channel stereo amplifier, don't go for an mono amplifier as they are just for bass subwoofers. Also you can add an speaker box for each 6x9 speaker to increase bass response. You can buy an pair of 6x9 car speaker boxes for like £40.00 of ebay or amazon.
