Car Audio 6X9 Speaker

Car audio 6X9 speakers were once in almost every car that came out of Detroit. In the late 90s, they kind of when away but as of late have made a huge comeback and are now found in many vehicles, including some Jeep, Dodge, Ford, and GM models. A 6″ X 9″ is not an ideal speaker size or dimension. In fact, audiophiles have been criticized over speaker since they came to market back in the 1900s. It is said that Peter L. Jensen was the first to bring an oval speaker to market. However, I have found reference to some RCA Victrola with large oval drivers (not sure if those were outsourced to Jense). One thing s for sure. No car audio 6X9 speakers can match the fame and number of units sold of the Jense Car audio 6X9 speakers. Even though the car audio 6X9 speakers have made a comeback, the number of quality units in the market is limited compared to years past.

Nevertheless, we have put together an assortment of some of the best-reviewed car audio 6X9 speakers on the internet today. In the absence of an audiophile quality 6X9 speaker, many car audio enthusiasts have opted to use adapter plates and convert their 6X9 openings to 6.5, but I feel that is not necessary. While driving, the noise floor level of most vehicles, regardless of the brand, would more than mask the small about of distortion a 6X9 speaker creates because the coil tends to pull more on the short side than the long side. That advantage in frequency response, especially in the low end, makes up for it.
