So, im finally buying the component speakers for my car, fronts are 5 1/2, and the backs are 6x9.

For the front i have these picked out already, since i have been to local audio stores and this is what im happy with.
http://www.amazon.com/Alpine-SPR-13S-Component-2-Way-Speaker/dp/B000NVD206

Ok, here's the part i need help with. I want to buy conversion plates for the 6x9 holes so i can put round speakers in there, but the conversion plate says it converts 6x9 slot into a 6.5 round, how do you go from a 6 inch to a 6.5 inch? :mellow:


/e here's the conversion plates

Also, im kinda scared that they will flex alot due to being on the back shelf helping seal off the truck for the subs pretty much, i think that the subs will make it flex really bad and/or break from the movements, Opinions?

1. A lot of 6-1/2" speakers are also 6 inch speakers, same with 6-1/2 and 6-3/4, they just have difference bolt patterns for both measuremeants. That's the best explination I can give for that..

2. I have heard of people rear speakers blowing because of their subwoofers, mine have never had problems like that..

I'm not worried about the speakers themselves because its not that much pressure, its only 2 type r 10's. I'm just worried about it flexing all that weight on that conversion plate and it snapping because i think its just plastic.

tryin to put together a setup, not looking for the best ofc
i have about $200 (obv not very much)
looking for:
amp and wiring kit
and either one dual coil, two dual coisl, or two single coil subs
sound quality wise, what is the best way to compare two subs to each other
i've put a few things together already, just dont know the difference between them

Post what you have picked out and ill look at it, and you aren't going to get all that for $200 for sure... unless you have a box already, then maybe you might be able to. But the power cable alone for me is about 50-75$.

gonna edit what sub are in 1 min


What all do you need for wiring? and you already have a aftermarket head unit correct? and if you are getting cheaper subs i wouldn't throw 2k watts at them :rofl:
