Default Recommended 6x9s?

I'm looking for more bass in the back and I don't want to lose any volume in the process. I would really prefer to keep the stock amp in the back too if I could. What do you guys recommend for a quick easy swap?

I'm bone stock with the standard premium sound right now...

i love my alpine Type s 6x9s. they have pretty good base and are very loud. you could always go up to type R for a little more money

Then you should get a dmm, disconnect one of your 6x9's and ohm it out. If it's around 2 ohms, or if 2 ohms is stamped onto the magnet then you want to make sure you get some high sensitivity 2 ohm aftermarket 6x9's. If it's 4 ohm then do the same thing, but with 4 ohm 6x9's.

I recommend a full range driver just for fill, but if you want something sharper, perhaps a shiny 3 way coax from who ever it's really not going to matter, even the infiniti, but i'm not a big fan of them, that's a bad brand for fill, i'd say something like even just the little pioneers, RE audio, JBl, alpine, ppi, something.

i have the alpine type r's and with the factory amp they don't sound that good. i am about to install a pdx-f4 to power the 6x9's and type r 6.5's so i will update how good they sound after they are getting good power

it's hard to give recommendations over the internet especially if you're looking for something to fit the music types that you listen to. I would recommend taking a cd with the music you listen to, to a local audio store or best buy and listening to all of the 6x9s, this will help you figure what you like most and what sounds the best to you for what you listen to.

In my opinion, Rockford Fosgate makes the best 6x9s and subs I have ever heard. They are suuuper loud and can have lots of bass. If you have an aftermarket deck you can usually change the settings for everything you like. I just got rid of my rf 15s with a 3000 watt amp...it was crazy loud and amazing, but a guy offered me a good chunk of change for my whole setup so I sold it.

That's the thing, we all can give our opinion on what's best, but that's usually what's best of the stuff we've heard, not what's best of what's all out there. What's best is subjective anyway......I have to agree with trewyn on this one, take a cd with music you're familiar with and go listen to as many different sets of speakers as you can and pick the one's that are within your budget that sound the best to you. Just make sure they're the right ohm rating before you get 'em.
