Being the dumbass I am, I ordered Infinity Kappa Series 693.5is for the rear speakers of my coupe. Now after reading a lot of the posts on this board, I have discovered two things: 1. The Kappas I ordered won't fit unless I perform a trunk shock mod; and 2. 6.5"s would probably do the job better as rear speakers than 6x9s.

Now here's my question, what's a good bassy set of 6.5"s? I listen to equal parts hip hop and rock, and I'm putting the Infinity Kappa 60.5cs in the front, so my highs will hopefully be covered. I would like the rears to add some bass, and that's about it.

Thanks.

PS Should I worry about amping that component system in the front? They will be running off 50Wx4 Pioneer.

Thanks again.

IMO, if you have subs in the back it is better to leave the back holes open, or seal them without speakers. I always think that my subs would make my back speakers distort anyway.

I will not be using subs because I use my trunk pretty frequently, but thanks for the advice. So any recommendations on those 6.5"s for the back?

maybe consider sealing some 6.5" subs in the back. whatever you put back there will not be real bassy unless you try to seal it up some

nothing aftermarket will be bassy running off a deck

Ok, I really don't want subs in the trunk, just some decent bass, I'm not into huge amounts of bass, just a decent amount is good for me. a good pair of 6.5"s will work for me, i just need some recommendations. on the other hand, is it crazy to ask if it's smart/possible to mount subs in the rear where the 6x9s currently are? would i have to rig some enclosures for them? yes, i would get an amp for them, since i will probably want some extra juice for my components. thanks for all the responses.

i'm not really thinking logically about this (i'm talking on the phone at the same time) it's prob not possible to even mount subs like that, is it?

Maybe get a set of 6.5" subs, yeah, they won't hit low like a real sub, but there's gotta be somethign though, right? I don't knwo how they'll do in an IB setup though :-/
