Got a bit of a bargain, 6x9 in rear recessed anyone done?

[fingerman]

Just won these today off Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=005

Picking them up tomorrow, only bought them for the fronts really and was going to sell the 6x9's on, but may fit them recessed and they look decent with quite a good wattage.

My setup is pretty basic running of a Sony Explode cheapo head unit but it suits the dash well and sounds pretty decent - currently got some not 50W rears from Sweden (can't remember make but pretty good?) and a pair of panasonics in the front

Any tips, advise, mdf as don't want them mounted on the parcel shelf as they'd look sh!te

raise them with mdf

or wreck your car with a grinder

you should have gone for 5x7/6x8s nobody has tried them but im going to be the first.. they give good bass like 6x9s but are smaller, they are the same as fitted to mazdas/fords

Thanks, I went for the auction for the fronts so the 6x9's are a bonus. Will have a look at recessing them

i cut my shelf out,it doesnt wreck your car,if you do it neatly it looks fine and unless you lay in your boot,you wont notice it!! get the jigsaw out!! take weight from your car,dont ADD it with mdf!!!

you shouldn't cut the metal under your parcel shelf its structural

I think i'll fit the fronts and sell the 6x9's, don't want to be cutting no undue holes

[Alex]

you could raise them on mdf and paint the mdf black

or cover the mdf in accoustic carpet thats what i did and it looks ok

Decided to put them back on Ebay but selling them seperately

The 13cm ones aren't as good as my current DLS ones and the 16x9's won't fit, will probably try to pick up some Vibe SE-K50's (had them before and they're pretty decent)

Cheers chaps

if they were 16" i would have had them off ya

I cut the metal in an old 4 door I had and it sounded fantastic! My car didn't fall to bits either as a result. The rust took care of that.

i will give ya that, it does sound good as the boot acts like a massive enclosure

So if your car is rusty then do it

that must be the verdict
