6 X 9 Sealed Enclosures

[conan7772]

I'm still struggling with my rears located under the rear side windows.

Have no subs at the moment, so trying to tune these 6 x 9 's to sound punchy.

Cranked low boost on the amp, but just makes them pop at high volume.

They're only 55W Fusion CS series and sound absolutely shit without the EQ.

I also suspect a bad seal between them and the interior lining.

The vinyl lining has roughly a 20mm gap behind it and the steel.

I've stuffed the cavity with poly bat, and left a little empty behind the speakers.

They sound a little cleaner, but f all bass.

I've seen some sealed enclosures available for 6 x 9's.

They are the oval shaped ones, quite small, about 200mm deep, not a box or wedge enclosure.

Just wondering if these are worth considering.

I'll have to cut way more steel out to get them in.

cheers

Lol. chopping up your car to fit 6x9's

Piss them off and put a sub in your boot.

Yeah, I do have a slim sub to fit , however I still want all the other speakers tuned.

The void in the rear quarter is massive and isn't sealed in various points.

So I'm thinking enclosures could sound heaps better.

dont bother, ditch the 6x9's they suck , all brands of 6x9's do ... !!!!! no exceptions ..lol

those sealed boxes are ghey, fine for a ute in the bush only or a workshop for tunes........or vn commo on gas with hubcaps. held in with gravity..till you hit the brakes and they take your head off

the gap will cancel your bass waves

Yeah I agree 6x9's suck but I'm stuck with the cut outs.

I guess I could make custom spacers to block and adapt 6.5's, but might look tacky.

One good thing about the rears under the side windows is better direction for high frequencies as opposed to bouncing off the rear windscreen.

The gap between the lining and the steel frame though is a pain.

I'll have ti fill it somehow and make gaskets.

thanks for all your help Troy.
