I have another video in the works about a little project that I was working on for replacing my rear deck speakers with JL Audio 6.5" subwoofers. I got the Scosche 6x9 to 6.5 adapters from crutchfield (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-J5sbEjOhGs9/shopsearch/6x9_adapter.html)... I am very disappointed in the whole project.
#1 the 6x9 to 6.5 had to be Dremel'd to fit the JL Audio 6.5" speakers. The outside cage on the woofer was too big.
#2 I had to double up on the adapters because the plastic was too flimsy to use one per side.
#3 I the sound difference was..... NOTHING. The lower range of the JL Audio 6.5" for power handling was 45w, and I was assuming that the factory system is putting out at least that much.
#4 I wonder if someone can find me a wiring diagram to see if I have the subwoofers out of phase. Even when I swapped the positive and negative terminals on one side, the over all sound difference was lack luster.
#5 does anyone know really what the rear woofer wattage is per side? I'm thinking about maybe getting a small, cheap amplifier to mount on the rear deck to give them a little more drive...
#6 I know it's not a 100% IB (infinite baffle) woofer. I would build a MDF box around it if I needed to, but I'm not really that gungho about the whole Idea. I'd be better just building a custom enclosure for a single 10-12 before playing with the rear deck. Thoughts on boxes that conceal well?
