opinions on 6x9s - outdated ?

[higXtech]

I'm on a few other car related forums and it seems like the general feeling is if you are making a new speaker hole go with a 6.5 inch round speaker. Avoid "3-way" speakers and try to go components if you have space for the crossovers.

But on this forum.. seems like a 6x9 is the speaker of choice. Are you guys doing this because you already had a 6x9 hole?

The PO put some fancy robotic looking 6x9s in the doors so i'll stick with them but I really wish he didn't cut 6x9 holes. They really don't sound any better then some basic coaxial 6.5 CDT Audio speakers i've put in other vehicles. Maybe i'm just propagating internet lore and 6x9s really are the way to go in these trucks.

take care,
