Question:
Can 6x9" speakers be installed in a trunk along with subs?

I have a 90 Oldsmobile that I have custom mounted the rear 6x9" speakers. The top of the speakers are on the platform right behind the rear seats and the magnets stick into the trunk so they are actually using the trunk as the enclosure. However I also have 2 10" subs in a custom sealed box in the trunk. I have noticed that when the subs hit low notes or when I turn the subs up really loud, it affects the way the 6x9" speakers move. I want my 6x9's to hit the higher bass notes or me, but when the subs move, it makes the 6x9's move too. I was wanting to know if this is affecting the way the 6x9's are working because technically the subs and 6x9's are in the same encolsure (the trunk.) Is this OK, or is there some way I can resolve this problem if the subs are indeed interfearing with the 6x9's? Like maybe building two little enclosures to go over them? If somebody has any tips for me I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you.

Either buy the 6x9 enclosures for the speakers, or dynomat the part of the trunk where the magnets are sticking out. Do not put it in the same box.

whats happening is that the amp ur using doesnt have enough power to push the speakers you have to their limit



try an EQ (equilizer) to give you more control



or try a good amp with alot of watts or if you already have an amp with good watts then maybe try connecting a capactator to it or running it straight to the car battery but use a fuse holder (monster wire is the best for big audio system) the thicker the wire the better!



if you dont know what im talking about::
