wassup guys, i just an 04 solara, but i hear a lot of comments about 61/2's sounding better in front. What are your opinions about having either a 61/2 or 6x9 speakers in front?

bha hahahahaha

The choice has been made for you already. 6x9's go in the front and 6.5's go in the back

The 6.5 vs 6x9 thing has been debated for a long time. 6x9's are decent if your looking for more bass but have horrible tonal response and blow very quickly. A 6.5 wont give you as much bass (less woofer area) but gives you a lot more tonal response, aka sounds better. A round speaker moves better and takes less power to move it. If you arent looking at having subs and arent as picky about sound quality then go with the 6x9's but otherwise stick with the 6.5's. I have a 99 and I put 6.5's in the rear 6x9 location b/c I hate 6x9's soo much.

i put component 6x9s front and rear... if you rig a nice deck and some thump in the trunk, the his and mids sound so nice.

callen..the gen2 solaras come with 6x9 [/u][/b]STOCK speakers! many people have tried to change their speakers thinking they were 61/2 but the new ones are now 6x9 in front. I've opened the door panel myself.

Puting a coaxial of any kind up front is the worst idea I have ever heard. Comps for the front, always. If you are looking for a certain sound to your speakers (aka more bass, softer trebble) shop around for different brands, there are infinitely too many variables to say a 6x9 will have a distinctly different tone than a set of 6.5 comps. Coaxials are inherenely inferior to components.

?? You can fit a set of comps in the space for the 6x9s w/ an adapter, but there is no such thing as 6x9 components as far as I know.

yup..ive never heard of 6x9 components.. well i talked to the store i bought it from..and they said i can try to install the 6x9 in front..and if it doesnt fit because of the depth of the cone..then i can get back my 61/2's!..woohoo..so either way..i dont lose..
