RE: Will 6x9" fit?
i have 6by9s and thought they were pretty good, but apparently they are not. lol
does it help if the 6by9s have a seperate mid range and tweeter? but obviously this is all incorpoated into one unit........ or could i get better sound out of a different setup?
(ps. i dont want a sub in the boot)

Yes anything can fit! It's not that 6x9's are terrible once you add the seperate tweeter, but the woofer is not an optimal design to produce the entire range of frequencies that its subject to. It could be better with a more sophisticated crossover network, but coaxials generally don't have complex crossovers they prevent lows from going to the tweeter, but don't prevent highs from going to the woofer. Woofers playing highs = mess. Since the 6x9 has a bigger woofer than a 6.5. imagine playing highs through your subwoofer at road noise level...ugh, now think about how your factory 6.5" door speakers with out a tweeter or crossover reproduce the same sound. Same concept with a 6x9 even with extra tweeters. 3-way 6x9's are a waste of dough. Get a 2-way if you must get one.

Once again I agree. THe only 6x9's I would reccommend are the MB Quarts that are just a woofer and a SEPERATE tweeter. A nice crossover is included like you would expect MB Quart to do anyway.
