1000 watt 6x9s?

[Blasterchief]

Ive bought these 1000 watt 6x9s so 1000 each not 500. Ive bought them and their here with me but un-opened so I can still send them back but if need be but to the point.

Will these car speakers work on my fiat Seicento, will the battery be able to handle it bearing in mind that ive got a 300 watt sub as well. I want a sound system thats gonna show up all those boy racers in their corsas so I bought these 6x9s but if they won't work ill just have to send em back, so your thoughts?

You want a sound system to show up boy racers so you bought 6x9's?

1000 watt 6x9s and youve obviously got to start some where and having them is a hell of a lot better than not

 

[punto_matt]

1000watt means nothing. It could be 1million watts and they would still be crap. Send them back while you can.

 

[East Upper Gooner]

Listen to what punto_matt said.

 

[Blasterchief]

Instead of asking me to send them back why not ask me to upload the specs? Isnt it up to the RMS rate or something like that? I don't really understand how all the specifics work.

they mean you will be better off with a decent set of components. its not about watts but sound quality you need to show up the boy racers

rememeber those "international(TM)" casette players 15 years ago on sunday markets, LED blinking speakers, saying "500W P.M.P.O"

never heard of 1k watts speakers, max 500watts, and u need amlifier, and, yes, bigger battery

Here's some:

http://www.theloudest.co.uk/?sectionid=2&page=view_product&product_id=81

1000W peak, 150W continuous.

they also do a 2000W, 300W continuous.

Load of amrketing rubbish though imho.

The amps they sell, ie. http://www.theloudest.co.uk/?sectionid=2&page=view_product&product_id=146 specifically for the 1000W speakers, can only provide a MAX of 2 x 75W RMS into a 4 ohm load like the speakers are...fantastic lol

ITS real!!! I want them!! will 4x50w hu handle them??? i was checking caraudiocentre and found only 510W max..

 

[randomizered]

They sell on ebay as well, a lot cheaper. ie. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6x9-Deal-2-20...hZ025QQcategoryZ14942QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

What rubbish.

Max wattages mean absolutely nothing in terms of ICE.

There is a bit of a problem with theloudest.com speakers. There figures make no sense read the specs on their website.
It could mean 150w RMS per pair. At the end of the day i would send them back as they are rubbish You would have been better off soending £30 on a pair of JBL ones. But as has already been said you will be better off with comps (although it is a pain in the behind to do in your car)
You wont be showing up anybody with any 6x9's.
Some people may be a bit harsh with what they have said but in essence they are right you should listen to them.

 

[volxstu]

Also you wouldnt need a bigger/second battery for 1000w RMS. It would be better to but not really necessary.

Because they know what they are and dont need the specs.

Thanks a lot this is pretty much what I wanted to know thanks for the help man and the rest of you

listen to the above, 6x9s are a waste of time, more often than not the sub will interefer with them as they pick up the subs sound waves which will distort anything they produce, plus they un balance your sound system with highs coming from behind you. For a good system its not about power, but setting the sound stage, you want the highs and mids to sound like its in front of you, like, being at a concert. In a car it is pretty much impossible to do this, you try your best, but will never match home audio.

you have to then decide what you want, big volume (SPL) or quality (SQ) or a bit of both.

for best advice start looking at talkaudi.com there is some complex stuff on their, but also stuff for beginners which will give the advice you'll need.

 

[volxstu]

Someone has been reading the a certain thread over on TA havent they ^^^
If you have been reading the 6x9 thread be careful what you gleam from it, there are about 5 different conclusions as to the use of 6x9's from that and TBH not one of them is wrong.
TA is a little difficult for the beginners IMO as much of the noob stuff has been covered a squillion times before and i have found that the members just arent that interested in helping noobs. (Not that i will say that over there again :bang

But back on topic for the OP low end 6x9's reproduce bad quality sound so although they can go very loud they sound like arse. Dont be fooled by 10000w watt ratings and crap makes like theloudest.com there 6x9's are actually (if they can even do that) 90w RMS (its all about RMS figures max means sweet FA) which is less than my tweeters.
Morel do good 6x9's but cost in excess of £150 which is about the same price as a decent set of components.
Even if you did put 6x9's to get anything like a sound stage (which really doesnt exist in a car but i will get into that in a mo) they would need to be perfectly matched to the speakers in the front of the car therefore you will have to tune the 6x9's down and you wont be using them to there potential and IMO they will still have an inferior sound to an equivelant set of components or even a cheaper set of coaxiles that wont counsel out the front speakers.
Any speaker in the rear will need to be sealed away from the air movement of the sub, Components are designed for infinite baffle so to put them in a sealed enclosure would be wrong, this is where i feel 6x9's may have a purpose because they do work well in a sealed/ported environment.

@ Gibbravo you have hit the nail on the head saying that you will never match the stereo image of home audio in your car and 99.9% of home audio stereo image is just wrong anyway compared to things like opera halls which have the ultimate in sound stage. So i ask myself should we really be worried about stereo image or shall we just balance the sound around the whole car creating a faux image

Sorry if that makes no sense i havnt got my literate brain on right now.

Try installing your mids in your doors and then sealing the door so they are really in a large sealed enclosure. Welcome to the world of real bass up front!

 

[volxstu]

Yeah but you will never really completely seal the doors and i would imagine that the doors are biger than 1/1.5ft3 so for a 6.5" driver that is still classed as infinite baffle in my eyes.
