6X9 car speakers are great for adding more bass into your car without having to take up valuable space by adding an large subwoofer. Subwoofers are of course the better option, if your looking for that deep earth shaking bass, but not everybody has an available boot space. 6X9 car speakers also have tweeters placed in the centre to provide extra clarity for treble. This can create an 3D surround sound effect in your car giving you an better sound depth. 6X9 speakers also have a lot of cone area, making them equivalent to an 8 inch car subwoofer. With the correct level of amplification, they sure can produce some decent bass to get the rear view mirror vibrating that's for sure.
There are two different options to wire 6X9 car speakers, the first being to wire them directly to the rear channels left and right on the back of the stereo. If you are using an aftermarket stereo, these will be the purple and green pairs of speaker wires. The one with the stripe down is negative and the solid colour is positive on the ISO harness. Run two nice quality speaker cables down the side of the car going to each 6x9 car speaker, ensuring that polarity is correct. Make sure the connections are made on the speaker using the correct spade connectors that slip into the speaker terminals. This will ensure an tight an snug fit to give you an reliable sound and performance, loose connections are known to become more apparent overtime with vibrations from the bass. Over to the headunit, you can twist and tape if you know how to do it correctly. However, if you are really crafty, you can use an soldering iron and solder to make durable strong connections that are made to last.
Powering 6X9 car speakers from the back of the stereo is going to limit how loud they play. Each 6x9 car speaker will have its own RMS rating on the back of it. for example 100 watt rms. This is the number that provides are true rating to how much power an speaker can handle before it goes bang. Adding an two channel amplifier rated at the same RMS as the speaker, will bring the 6x9 car speaker to its true potential. An 8 gauge car amp wiring kit from ebay or amazon will contain everything you need, power, ground and blue remote wire, as well as signal RCA cables. Once you have hooked up the wiring kit, then mount the car amplifier onto the back seat for easy access, allowing you to fine tune the settings. It also helps with ventilation in the summer.
