Mounting 6x9 speakers into a sub enclosure?

[Shuvi McTupya]

Would this work? I am considering getting a subwoofer that I can just put on my back seat as it is a small car and no one goes in the back.

Then I thought, maybe I could also mount 6x9 speakers in the sides of the enclosure, but would the sound be compromised by having more than one cone operating at the same time in the same enclosure?

Yes, it would mess it all up - both the sub itself and any chance of clear sound quality and staging overall.

Thanks..back to plan A then!

Probably much easier to just get a <£150 under seat subwoofer ..

They're actually pretty decent and punchy (for a tiny little box), and pretty straight forward to fit

Good enough, unless you really really need to go deep and low,

is there an option to upgrade the speakers in the rear quarter panels either in factor size or go slightly oversize?

As for subs, in the past I have built boxes that enable the sub to be mounted in the area behind the wheel arch like this , depending on the size of the amp it can be mounted next to the sub or on the opposite side. The panel is push fit with quick release connectors so it only took a minute to remove.

I haven't put the seat belts on the subs yet..

(Yes I get what you are saying!)

I will try my best not to crash.

Are you sure you are looking for sound quality , you seem to be building some massage chairs

Now that I've seen the car layout and you've said you don't ever want to use the rear seats what I'd consider is to remove the bottom seat bench and build a sub box that allows the subs to sit flush facing upwards and carpet it over the top so that at a casual glance it looks like a flat panel.

Here is an example, i put another layer of carpet over the top so the amp/sub were completely hidden.


I did another one for a mk2 Golf that had a sub one side, a amp the other and a lift up trap door in the middle so i could stash a tool box and few other bits an bobs inside

i'm just having a bit of fun to be honest. I have paid nothing for the subs and forty quid for the amp. If it doesn't work out i will just bin the subs off and leave the amp powering my speakers and call it a day.

I'd get some dust caps to put over the centre of those cones before they fill up with dust and cause the voice coil to jam against the magnet.

Good shout, i didn't even know you could buy them separately!

I wouldn't advise you to mount 6x9 speakers in the sides of the enclosure, because when more than one cone operating at the same time in the same enclosure they will not transmit air properly. And then the same thing will spoil the sound. If anyone wonders, I've put these Polk DB 522 and 652 here are some interesting options in this review https://jeepequipment.com/speakers-for-jeep-wrangl... in my front door and that's enough.
