6X9 Car Speakers


I need recommendations for rear deck speakers. '99 Grand Prix
2 door if it makes any difference. I've always owned Infinity
Kappa's for years but the last pair I purchased were Chinese
junk. I'm glad I didn't pay much-shoulda' been my first clue.
So here is the question; which speakers are the heir apparent
to the Kappa's. I know someone must be building a similar
product. I have 150 WPC to drive them so lets hear some good
recommendations. Thanks in advance, Steve P.S. I'm not dissing
all Chinese products-I love my Little Dot.

Too bad Baab isn't around anymore. They had a nice aluminum cone full range 6X9. What others said about rear fill was good. Just get a full range 6X9 w/o a tweeter or get some cheap 6X9's and rip out the crappy tweeter and cap they use as an x-over. And that 150WPC amp is that "car stereo watts"* or real FTC watts from 20-20K @X ohms and X% THD? Or as Zappa said is that Mexican Poncho or a Sears poncho? Good luck!

Most car stereo amps just make a wattage claim of X watts @X ohms which may be just @1K not across the full bandwidth and usually don't include a distortion figure with the claim.
