6x9 mounting

I just bought a pair of 6x9 infinity's for the rear of my XJ. I also ordered some of those shoe box sized carpeted boxes for them. Do you still get full bass out of your speakers mounted in those small boxes ? I had an old box I mounted them in that wasn't sealed very well and they sounded like crap. No bass. Any suggestions would be great. I really don't want to chop up any of the panels.

Thanks !

I added a 10" sub so my response problaby is mute, but mine sound great in those little boxes. Much better than in the rear hatch.

Yah, I'm going to put in an 8" next if I'm not happy with the bass from the Infinity's. I prefer clarity over heavy bass.
Thanks !

I am going to suggest just going with a 10. Don't bother with just one 8. I had an 8, and, it just didn't hit right. I'm not into the techno ultra low bass crap. I just added the 10 to complete it. My brother is running 2 8's in his broco II and it doesn't sound right at all. But, it also depends on the brands you run such as the sub and amp.

I put my 6x9's in a set of boxes and they sound great in my opinion. Nice bass, but I do plan on going to a 10.

IMHO 6x9s are for people who don't have a sub. You won't ever get as much bass out of 6x9s as you will from a sub (exceptions can be made for people who don't know how to set up a sub vs someone who really knows how to get the best out of a 6x9). Your best bet is to run them in those boxes...if you want more bass, you can build a bigger box and put a port in it...but I'd just get a sub.

I ended up putting in a 10" and 300 watt JBL with the boxed infinity's.
Wow ! I :loveu: it. Sub's add a whole new diminision to the sound.
Thanks for pushing it guy's.
See yuh !
