rear 6x9 question

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: blacked03ls

Just replaced my 6x9 with alpine type r.... I want to know if there is an option on the amp or something i can do so it will play vocals through the 6x9 instead of just bass.

no. buy a new amp.

As I understand it, it's not the amp; the head unit is only sending the low frequencies back there. Those speakers are subwoofers, after all.

so there is nothing you can do to get the vocals out of them? In my new 6x9 there is a built in tweeter and they sounded pretty good at the store thats half the reason i got decent ones..

do you have the stock head unit, or an after market one?

You can replace the head unit. Short of that, nope; you can't extract something that's not there...

Its a sub, wouldnt the vocals sound way off anyway?

oh well i have the factory nav w/ thx so i dont see myself buying a headunit. It just sucks i wish i could hear the vocals on those 6x9 it would improve clarity by a bunch im sure

I dont get it, if a sub is supposed to be for bass how the hell would it improve the higher tone in vocals?

He replaced the factory rear deck subs with Alpine Type R 6x9's. Those are coaxial speakers with a frequency response of 60Hz - 27kHz (full range speakers).

You would have to add an amp for the new 6x9's and use a line output converter to get a full range signal from another speaker.

I have an amp and line output converter forsale if you decide to go that route.
