ryan.. Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 those 6x9's will be getting about 10watts per speaker is you are luckyAlso, they are not on a solid mounting place nor are they in an enclousure. If you want bass get a sub or put the 6x9's in a box. They wont produce "big bass" mounted in the parcel shelf. They aren't really designed for big bass anyway, they are designed to do the mids and highs. You wont get good quality sound from them either im afraid for a few reasons, firstly the instalation as i mentioned above. Also, they are designed to run off little power and made using cheap components, this added with the fact vibe dont make any nice sounding speakers all acounts for poor quality. Also running them in the rear drags the sound stage back, your ears are not designed to hear from behind you (think of a music concert...where are the speakers compared to the audience?). This massively affects the quality of the listening experience too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
