You know you loved that 6x9 thump in your trunk :laugh: Funny how even the most basic systems today are decent let alone some of the ones like B&O, ML......

Remember when speakers were total afterthoughts in cars? Exposed speakers? Screws where you could swap them out in 2 minutes?

Then who remembers 6x9s????? ALL HAIL!!!!!

I remember upgrading my 6x9s to mb quart ones in the rear of my Acura Legend.

Hells yeah, no real need for a sub in most cars with those huge magnets on 6x9's, man sound systems have come a long way.

My first car was a 76 Mercedes 300D. It had 4" in the foot well & off-size 5x7 in the rear sill. Both had water damage when I got it, so I swapped them out, but had to use spacers for even same size replacements. I think it ended up with 4" MB Quarts up front & 5" Boston Acoustics (nobody could get the 5x7 to fit & nobody made a good one for my price anyways). My uncle gave me his old pair of MTX 10's & an amp for the trunk.
My buddy was the guy with 6x9's in boxes floating in his back window or seat.

6x9's Baby!!!! I added em to my 71 OLDs! Actually had two sets.. first set was dual cones, then I 'upgraded' to 3-ways! They were all that and more at the time!

J.P.

Man I tossed some Alpine 6x9's in my ride back in the day, in custom wood boxes to boot. Tossed them on on the floor in the back seat.

People could get in the car and be like we have no room,then I go look !itch, dem is my 6x9's shut the **** up and listen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Dating myself, but my first car, a 62 Biscayne, had the baddest sound system money could buy...a Craig 8 track tape player & 6 X 9's in the back deck....stylin'....LOL

I remember Jensen Triaxial 6x9 were "it" at one point...before Alpine and others came on the scene. I rocked some Boston Acoustics 6x9s later on too.

6x9s on my first Civic!

6x9s...LOL. The alternative to subwoofers for those who had little money. They distorted like crazy at higher volume because of the cone flexing.

dunnojack

aren't these 6x9's better than the dinky 6x6 speakers in the rear doors of the current IS/GS ?

Hell yeah, I upgraded the rear 6.5" speakers in my old 1991 Nissan Stanza with 6"x9" spacers and 3-way Pioneer speakers! It thumped very nicely, especially with my upgaded Sony 35Wx4 head unit with CD Player!!! (This was in 1999 btw when I did this...)

S2000toIS350

Those were the days (not)

As mentioned above, Jensen Triax speakers and a pioneer supertuner, underdash mount of course in my mom's 74 Duster.

I still can't figure out how Bose gets all these contracts when I can't find a single enthusiast who would buy their stuff.

Being pickier, I would not go for the Mark Levinson because he has nothing to do with the company (so where is the value added to his name anymore?)
