How To Wire 6X9 Car Speakers to Your Parcel Shelf

cheap ebay 6x9 car speakers

If you want more treble in your car, the most cost effective solution is to add an cheap set of 6x9 car speakers into your parcel shelf. 6X9 car speakers are often power hungry, so adding an two channel car amplifier to power them is usually an good idea to get full volume out of them. You can also connect them to the rear left and right channels from your factory stereo wiring harness, however you will also need to disconnect the existing rear speakers, before adding your 6x9 car speakers wires on. If you wire your 6x9 car speakers on top of the existing rear speakers already wired into your car, yes they will all play at once, but this will work is reverse affect as neither of the car speakers will get proper rated power to them. This can result in an unbalance sound that is waste time and money.

When finding an car amplifier for your 6x9 car speakers, make sure you find the RMS of each speaker driver and match the power handing. For example, if each 6x9 car speaker is rated at 100 watts rms, you want 100 watts or close rms produced by the car amplifier at 4 ohms to get the full potential out the speaker. I have seen many good 6x9 JBL car speakers gone into the bin by people that don't know how to setup of wire them correctly. Ignore MAX or PEAK power ratings, its just used to market products are nothing to do with the true output of the car speaker.

Installing an car amplifier is not complicated. You can purchase an car amp wiring kit from ebay or amazon that contains all the wires, 8 gauge wiring kit is recommend for 6x9 car speakers running from an usual two channel amp. The red power wire goes to the 12 volts positive terminal found on the car battery, inline with an fuse and fuse holder. The black wire goes to an grounding point, either an seat belt bolt or an factory ground. The blue wire goes to an ignition switched source in the fuse box, or to an dedicated remote amp turn on wire which is found on most aftermarket car stereos. The RCA cables basically feed signal into the amp from the radio. If you are using an factory car stereo, you will need an line output converter. Mount the car amplifier onto the back seat and wire up each 6x9 car speaker with correct polarity to the correct two channels. Once you have done that, setup the high pass filter to your listening tastes, for 6x9 car speakers I say 50 HZ is good. This is because 6x9 car speakers have the potential to act as mini car subwoofers, as they have enough cone area to make the equivalent to an 8 inch car subwoofer.
