I would like to see them and how you mounted them if I may?
I already have 6.5, I want to try something different.

TIA

Just out of curiosity - what is your goal? more bass, or jsut to be different?

The problem with 6x9s is the bass is very off sounding.

Brad@RevXtremeAutoSports

I have a 2000 watt sub driving 2 JLs 12, got bass covered. Right now my budget is zero, I don't like the Jensen 6.5 currently installed and I have some killer 6x9 pioneers that I used in my other vehicle with my same amp set up that is currently in vette that I want to swap in. I'm sure I have seen it done but my search yielded zero results.

IMO, my pioneers have better mids and highs then my jensens so i want to try them out in the vette and see.

They should fit just fine. Ive seen an adaptor plate for them floating around.

Here it is:

Link with 6x9

actually that is a 5x7 /6x8 but a 6x9 should fit i would think atleast with a 3/4 mdf baffle should fit no problems at all

Well ... I guess there are worse options for your front doors .. but with that much bass I would set aside some money for a couple of months and pick yourself up a decent 6.5" component set for the front. With a minimal outlay the 6x9's will hold you over but are not a solution to your front stage volume problem.

But hey if you like the way it sounds that is all that matters

You can pickup speaker plate blanks from Audio Dave at
nationalcorvetteregistry.com

I just did an install this weekend and I used his speaker plates and his face plate turned out very nice I will post tonight when I get home from work

Brad@RevXtremeAutoSports

Sage advice most definitely, however it will be at least September or October before I can get what I really want, so the 6x9s are just sitting here and I am sure they will sound better then what I have. I Still need a tune as well. I should be able to make a template to hold them, just wanted to see what others had done.

Thanks

I wonder if the stock bose grill will fit over the 6x9s?

Won't be an issue. There is a ton of room in there.

Brad@RevXtremeAutoSports

Kale thanks for the help bro
I'll post the results when I'm done.

6x9s are in. If the thought of cutting your vette casues you discomfort please exit out.




Prior posts above explain why I did this. And let me state right off I am very pleased with the results so to me that is what matters.

On to the pics.

Had to cut away some fiberglass. My neighbor was shocked.



The 6.5 is gone. Originally I kept the mounting bracket for the blows and made an adapter for the 6.5 to fit it.



All cleared away.



My 6x9 adapter



Test fitting the adapter



Fiberglass to be removed




Cuts made



Mounting the speaker to the adapter



Mounting the speaker. Installed baffles too. (Not shown) (forgot a bolt, installed after pics)



Painted the grilles and reinstalled them. Even kept the blows logo for stealthness.





Cost of the project, 8 dollars. I already had the 6x9s.
Sound is way better then what I had. More money to put towards horsepower mods.

I can always go back to 6.5 as I kept my original template for it or I can make another one quite easily. But for now I'm happy.

Thanks for looking.

I used the same jig on my install

STOP RIGHT THERE!

That's the problem.



BTW: I have Pioneer competition stuff in the front and rears, I have never been happier with a speaker purchase in my life. Bought them back in 2002ish? and they are still rocking hard still.

Brad@RevXtremeAutoSports

Went through two pairs (jensen 6.5) kept blowing the highs out, plus in my opinion the highs on my pioneers are much better. So far so good.
