Ok - I just blew my Memphis M-class 6x9's rated at 75 watt RMS - I have warranty - and I'll get new ones - but Im gonna sell them now -

My questions is - what would be a good replacement for them - I am all about good mid SQ - I want a very nice sound quality and handle my amp too - 100 rms x 4 " Memphis "

I was looking at the Eclipse SA8394 3ways , and the JL VR690CXi .

I really need help picking the right thing - if you have experience with these , please help !!

I listen to all kinds of music from " rock , industrial , rap , club ect . "

If you must....

Boston Acoustics or Pioneer REV

Joe, would you consider moving up to components?

componets FTW.

i can dig up my old thread on AF where i put 6.5's into a 6x8 hole if you want.

screw it, i had nothing else to do

You really think those are better choices than the Eclipse or JL -

remember - I blew the memphis's " boston ,and pioneers " are even less power.

Thanks man - I still want to stay with 6x9 though - i have components in the front - so i want the little bit of a different tone a 6x9 gives off.

I would prefer 6x9 for there tone - i already have components in the front - want that different tone in the back though.

6x9s have a tone?

"pssst, its called distortion"

Its not distortion - I'm a musician - and theres just something i like about the sound - i used to own some kisker components and 6x9's a couple years ago - the 6x9's arent as loud , but they have a little bit of an extra tone - the snare drums have more of that hollow effect , and chit like that - I dunno - by ear it sounds tht way to me.

What about component 6x9's - Like FOCAL , or Mmats brand ?

Anything other than what the signal was intended to sound like IS distortion.

Not all distortion is bad, Wahwah pedals and other forms of added distortion are often used by musicians with almost all string instraments.

However, if you want to listen as the artist intended you have to focus on your system's distortion beling as low as possible. Round pistons will more accurately reproduce compressions than oval or square ones. If you prefer the sound of the 6x9's then you prefer the added distortion that is likely due to non linear displacement because the piston is unbalenced. That isnt a bad thing if its what YOU prefer.

Yes, i do

Ive heard them both.

The REV's are way different than the normal pioneers.

40Wrms is more than enough and you need to isolate them with some sort of basket.
