Default 6 x 9's in Partition?

I have an aftermarket HU and new speakers in my 02 Z06 but I'm not really happy. I really don't want to install an amp and sub speaker. Has anyone installed 6" x 9" speakers in a partition in a Z06 or FRC. I seems like it would work. Anyone have a pic of that setup?

I am sure it could be done, not real sure about the results being worthwhile or positive however. That is up to you.

Money spent on even an aftermarket HU with replaced front speakers is a serious upgrade from the factory Blose stuff.

I think just about every possible upgrade scenario is in the stickies up top, between C5 FAQ and "what do you run" threads

G'luck

When I installed the HU and speakers the sticky's were great help. I just wanted to see if anyone had a picture of 6x9's in a partition.

We offer all Vibe products and have them available. PM for best pricing as I have to follow MAP pricing for Vibe

As far as finding them local. Thats prob not going to be an easy thing to do. Vibe is made in the UK and very well known over there. Just not as popular here yet.
I am installing a full Vibe system in my car now

without an amp you're not likely to be happy, if your issue is weight/space you can get an ARC mini or JL XD-series and maybe an 8" sub or a low-profile 10"
