I went to Cartronics cuz I want to put sum 6x9s in the back cuz i want a lil more bass...I told him that I had 6x5s in it right now (which is stock right) well anyways he said that I couldnt just slip 6x9s in. I would have to pay them more for custom work. I was wonderin if you guys knew this...is he right?

comon dood.. search this.. i know its been answered before.. but to answer the question.. yes you can. two ways, take a dremel and cut the hole bigger.. many of us have done this, including me.. or go to a junkyard and find some 6x9 pods from a eclipse with an infinity system... my suggestion is you do the dremel, easy and cheap

I also took the dremel road, and let me tell you you have to dremmel almost the entire POD, don't get scared that you take off plastic, and take off and take off, mine are not the biggest 6x9 out there, in fact they are not very powerfull there for the magnet is not very big, and i ahd to dremmel everything except the corners, i just left barely something there to put a screw thru,

BTW i didn't had a dremmel at hand and used a GRINDER!!!! now my pod has a costum hole in the side of it, but who cares, you can't go wrong.

I suggest you take your dremeled(sp???) pod when you go buy the speakers, and try them on....

I used a razor blade, just cut untill it fits

I have a 98 Eclipse Spyder with the Factory Infinity System. Took that out after a week. Now I have a Alpine Head Unit with Infinity Kappa 6x9 in the back seats (Fit perfectly - just have to wiggle them in and when you tighten the screw - do each one a little at a time or the speaker will be crooked) 6.5" at the door and 4" on the Dash. I also have 3 10" Rockford Fosgate DVC in a custom triple speaker box sitting in my tiny trunk with Infinity Kappa Amps running everything.

I went the dremmel way too....But my Kenwood excelons are huge...so I really had to thin it out. But worth it, cuz those 3 ways I have are bad ass......Good Luck.

yeah.. iuts easy.. jsut get a dremel.. it works just fine. I didn't have a dremel handy when I was doing this to my car so I just used a heat-knife and cute that plastic right out.

if u want more bass then y dont u add a small sub it would work out better for bass and then get some good 6.5 speakers and it would sound better then just 6x9

Im planning to get 2 12s or 1 square 12 later, but until then arent 6x9s better than 6x5 cuz more area.

6x9's are a funky oval shape... different from most other speakers. I prefer the SQ from a 6.5" speaker a lot more! Go to HiFi Buys and get a pair of JL Audio 6.5" coaxials. I put those in my ride and it sounds very nice. Better than any 6x9 I've ever owned. They also have a nicely priced pair of Bostons down there. Check it out, man... they always cut me great deals there!

I'm guessing you don't have a x-over??? You don;t really need full range sound coming from the rear of the car anyways, just something to handle the mid-bass which any quality 6.5" will give you.....I went with 6x9's for a while but if all you run is mid-bass through the rears your just wasting money on them. Just get a goos set of 6.5's and you'll be more than happy. The JL's will work or if you want a dedicated mid-bass speaker go with a set of Punch or Orions.....
