If you don't like your 12 you will be SEVERELY underwhelmed with a pair of 6.5's. 90% of the T-line discussion on car audio forums are not Tlines, but slot ported boxes. If you can't operate Mathcad, don't have Martin King's worksheets, then expect that your trial and error will be a failure and take MANY iterations to get it to somewhat work. Add to that you are now using drivers that have way less capability so even if you do it perfectly you will have a significantly worse response in every aspect and it is an exercise in stupidity. I understand though that there is a ton of misinformation on the web and it isn't your stupidity, but the sites that you have found positive responses towards T-lines in a car. Don't take it personally, but take everything you have read with a grain of salt and dig through the nonsense.
In general instead of trying to be different you should be honest with your goals and build the system YOU want based on your goals and not other peoples imagination. This will save you a lot of time, money and yield way better results.
