Shopping for 6x9 Car Speakers

Are you considering installing new audio equipment into your car?  Do you feel like this could be an overwhelming project with all the different brands and options out there for car audio?  There are speakers out there to meet any budget demands and installing is usually easy to do on most vehicles with many tools already around the house.  To get started on deciding what kind of system to install you should first check out the stock speakers your vehicle already has.  The front speakers in most vehicles are four inches while the rear speaker is 6x9 inches.  When replacing your equipment usually you only need to replace the rear 6x9 car audio speakers.  These will give you the most audible difference between the stock speakers and the ones you choose to upgrade to.  You can always replace all of the car speakers including the front, but there is not much of an audible sound difference when you replace front speakers.

To begin searching for you replacements you should measure your current speakers.  You will want to know the height and width of the current speakers so your new speakers can fit into the factory cutouts already in your vehicle.  So what brand is considered the best 6x9 car speakers? Pioneer 6x9 car speakers are considered the best brand of speaker out there.  These speakers retail for two hundred dollars.  They have a maximum output of 360 watts.  They have a dual layer IMX cone that gives them exquisite sound. Another option is Infinity 6x9 car speakers which are in the higher end range of speakers.  These speakers also have a maximum output of 300 watts, and every part of them is optimized for reduced distortion and high bass outputs.  These speakers retail for one hundred and forty dollars.

When searching for a mid-range priced speakers there are a couple brands that are worth noting.  The speakers have a sound quality that is comparable to the higher end speakers and usually are easier to install than the higher priced models as well.  Sony 6x9 car speakers are an excellent mid-range brand speaker that features easy installation and very little distortion.  It offers sound quality comparable to the higher range and retails for a hundred dollars.  JBL 6x9 car speakers also retail for around one hundred dollars and also offer excellent sound quality.  They have a maximum output of 300 watts and have almost no distortion.  Alpine 6x9 car speakers are another mid-range speaker that offers excellent sound quality and easy installation. These speakers have a maximum output of 300 watts and retail for around ninety dollars. 

Installing your new equipment once you pick out the type that you want can be relatively easy.  Many speakers are mounted in the rear window of your car.  In the simplest cases you can simply unscrew four screws and pull out the old 6x9 car speaker, switch over the wires and then install the new speaker.  When your speakers are in the rear car doors it is sometimes easier to remove the panel on the door before installing the speaker.  The plastic panel is usually held in by several screws in the door frame and friction clips.  It should pop on and off the metal part of the door fairly easily. 

If this type of maintenance on your car seems rather overwhelming you can always hire a professional to install your choice of high quality or cheap 6x9 car speakers.  It increases the overall cost, but can save you from an irreparable mistake as well.  Replacing your speaker system in your vehicle can increase its resale value as well as turn those long road trips and afternoon commutes into a whole new listening experience.
