we want 6x9's in the door, is it possible?

It is sort of a myth that 6X9's will give you more bas now a days. I mean of course there is more area for air to move. However You can still get solid bass out of a goo set of 6.5 keep in mind you are going to be dissapointed if you think your going to get "good bass" from speakers being powered by a head unit. You at least would want an amp.

I've got 6x9's in small enclosures behind the seats, powered by 75x2 @ 4ohms from a Sound Ordnance amp. Sounds peachy and definitely goes louder than I need.

Took a while to install though.

Its no myth, a 6x9 is almost the same volume displacement of a 8" sub. It will have more bass, even off deck power due to its effishance. It won't sound as good as a 6.5 set, but it doesn't sound that that is a concern. And yes as big said even a small amp would help.

True however speakers are not subs and 6x9's can not go as low as a subwoofer so I would still recommend doing a sub if bass is what your after instead of distorting speakers trying to cover the freq range that is made for a sub.

No they are not, but the OP wanted, "Just get a nice HU, and some nice 6X9's and call it a day. No fancy HU/DVD screens, amps and sub enclosures... This is not a pimped out sedan sittin on 20's. It's a street/weekend track car"

So for that, 6x9's in the doors would be fine, add an amp and it would be better.

I was not saying install a ton of stuff I was simply saying that a SIMPLE polk db 6.5 inch component set would be better for sound and clarity than some 6 x 9 coaxial in the door.
