I know kicker makes 1 of the best speakers under $100. i'm thinking of
trying one.but will it sound as good as my 4yr old cerwin vega
6x9s,3way?

Why don't you stick to your best speakers under $30?

It really doesn't matter... unless you have a vehicle with door or dash
mounted 6x9's, they are just a waste of money. You would be better off
spending the money to improve the sound of your front stage rather than
the sound coming from behind you.

jethro...my front speakers are already a+....
also i dont believe the bs about yur rear speakers are a waste.it all
blends to make the overall sound of your car.
Since you usually put 35% more power to the rear speakers...
ALSO TO those of YOU..how could I know about HOW KICKER sounds if I
never heard ONE.SO I DONT know everything.

Why on earth would you put more power to your rear speakers than to you
put to your front? The goal is not to make a front/rear blended
sound... it is to create a realistic FRONT stage. When you go to a
concert, you sit with the musicians in FRONT of you, so the goal in a
car should be to have sound coming from in FRONT of you as well.
Having multiple speakers producing the same frequencies from different
locations inside a car will only degrade the sound. A nice set of
components (or a really nice set of coaxials) in the front doors or
kick panels is usually the best option, but you can also get some
success mounting midbasses in the doors and tweeters in the dash (if
you do it right). I personally prefer no rear fill at all... and many
other in the car audio world feel the same way (many award winning SQ
vehicles).
Go find a local Kicker dealer and listen to the KS69's in person...
that is really the best way to know if they sound good or not.

Logic. It just makes sense...
That should be the goal of any respectable sound system. Even a stock
sound system should be faded forward so that a majority of the sound is
coming from the front speakers. If you want more bass, buy a sub... but
don't throw an amp on full-range rear speakers.

Or he could listen to his ears and his own likes and dislikes and make
it sound good to him. Everyone has different preferences when it comes
to sound. I myself prefer to make it seem like I'm being bombarded from
all sides. Some people like front only and hate any concept or rear
sound. Others like it just from the rear (kinky *******s). The whole
Front-stage and proper imaging thing is over-rated in my humble opinion.
I could care less if it sounds like a live band and it sounds like the
guitar is coming from 3 feet to the left of center stage or whatever. I
like what sounds good to me, and more power to you on yours.

If mediocre sound is the goal, then what is the point of discussing it
over the internet? People often like the 'surround sound' effect
because they've heard that's what sounds good from the likes of Bose.
I can't tell him if the Kicker 6x9's will sound good to his ears, just
like I can't convince him that the sound should come from in front of
him... so it really doesn't matter. But I will not change my advice
just because someone enjoys listening to their audio system in a way
that is technically wrong.

I don't hear my front speakers first. They are time aligned (delayed)
so the car sounds like a live concert hall or the way the audio was
intended to sound by the recording group. My subs sound like they are
in the front also. When was the last time you went to a live concert
and heard the bass guitar or double bass in the back of the audience?
Why do you think many high-end car audio competitors were putting their
subs in the firewall or floor?
Yes it's possible to get reflections and reverb within a particular
hall, but to realistically hear that you need to have surround sound.
That is why car audio equipment companys are comming out with that type
systems.

That's not what you said. You said "the goal is not to make a f/r blended
sound." Well, who says? A front stage is nice and all, but some music
doesn't take advantage of it as well as others. Sometimes the goal is to,
say, immerse yourself in an ocean of sound. Sometimes it's to provide the
biggest "punch". Sometimes it's to attempt to achieve the "flattest"
frequency response at high output levels. Different goals for different
folks.
While I agree with the notion that the front stage is more important than
the rears, which is due in part to imaging but also due to things like
frequency response irregularities, phase shifts and reflections, bass
response (proximity), and so forth. However, I wouldn't say completely
ignore the rears. If you can afford to, amplify the back speakers in
addition to the fronts. And yeah, try it with and without rears too.
Not that I'm disagreeing with the sentiment of what you posted, but I
think it's important to clarify exactly what the goals should be - make it
sound best to your ears. Whether that means a lot of power, a little
power, or no power to the rears depends on the listener.

What Brandon described is not "surround sound". Surround sound relies on
time delays to mimic positioning of various sounds of a musical or other
passage. Brandon didn't say or imply anything of the sort.
For instance, I have 12 channels of time alignment going to adjust my
rears and others so that they're all "in phase" with the fronts. I've
attempted to get rid of the delay with my setup. That's the opposite
strategy of surround sound.

Of the brands you list, I would rate them like this (in general):
1. JL Audio
2. JBL / Polk / Kicker / Cerwin Vega
3. Kenwood
4. Sony
I would expect the Kicker 6x9's to have good midbass, as Kicker
speakers are known for having good output. They also are known for
having high quality speakers that take decent abuse.
The big unknown for someone who hasn't heard that particular speaker
(or line of speakers) is the tweeter. Every type of tweeter sounds
different... that is why it is important that YOU determine if they
sound good or not. To my ears a soft dome tweeter sounds good, but to
others; a metal dome sounds better...
I would think that at the price you listed, they would be a good deal.

To each his own, that's true, but part of the problem is that Bob has
a habit of throwing out these bull**** "rules of thumb", like his
statement that you should put 35% more power to the rear speakers than
the front, or that amplifiers can only put out 88% of their rated
power.
If he wants to tailor HIS system to HIS own tastes, that's fine, but
putting out these suspiciously-precise figures and guidelines as
gospel to the rest of the readers is horse****.

So why did you say in your earlier post that you hear front speakers
first?
Here's your post, in case you forgot:

the reason you put more power to the rears is to make it all come

or it would be out of phase i guess...youd hear one part after the
fronts play thier part of that same part of the song.even though were

Some of the instruments he's talking about (bass guitar, double-bass)
have high-enough frequencies in their range that you can still
localize them. In my experience, I can start to reliably localize
frequencies higher than 120-150Hz.
That's why, if I can fit good-sized midbass drivers in the kick
panels, I like to keep my subs in the back low-passed at around
70-80Hz. I'll set the high-pass for the midbass drivers at about
120Hz or so as a starting point, and rely on the natural cabin gain to
fill in the gap between the crossover points. That's just a starting
point, though - every car behaves a little differently.

Yes, because everyone knows that louder sounds travel faster than
quieter sounds.
/SARCASM OFF
Dumbass - look at a basic physics textbook. The amplitude of a sound
has NO effect on how quickly it travels through the air. There's
nothing you can do to the relative volumes between the front and rear
speakers that's going to correct any kind of phase difference.

That is complete and utter BS there Bob. Adding more power to your rear
speakers will have zero effect on phase. A sound wave of a given
frequency will travel the same speed no matter what the amplitude of
the wave is. The only way to properly adjust phase is with careful
time-alignment, or with a signal processor that allows you to switch
phase 180 degrees (but even that isn't very precise). But even then,
you still have localized sound coming from behind you... which IMO is
just annoying.
15+ years ago when I was just getting into this hobby, I ran 6x9's for
rear speakers. As my system morphed and improved, it became apparent
that something needed to change, as the image was getting dragged to
the rear... so I just clipped the tweeter wires on the 6x9's... those
Pyle 6x9's made for some great midbasses, but they eventually got axed
once I got some decent component speakers up front.

Your comprehension skills are lacking. Nobody said more power wouldn't
change the sound from a speaker, we said that more power will not make
the wave arrive at your ears any quicker than less power... it will
just be at a higher volume level. The amplitude of the wave (how loud
it is) has ZERO effect on how fast the wave travels. Whether you are
running 50 watts to a speaker or 2 watts to a speaker, the wave travels
the same speed.
You are obviously in over your head in this simple discussion. I
recommend doing a little reading before you attempt to make yourself
sound smarter than the rest of us. Go to the following site, it has
some great information about car audio... scroll down the sidebar on
the right side to see different topics:

Yes Bob, at one time I was igorant about car audio (as you are now). As
I mentioned, that was 15 years ago. I quickly learned from my mistakes

Damn, you read as poorly as you write. I said that changing the
amplitude (volume) of a sound does not change its speed through the
air. So, turning up the rear speakers will NOT make the sound get to
you any sooner, and it will NOT correct any phase differences between
the front and rear speakers. (Both of which you claimed in your post)
Of course adding power changes the sound from a speaker - it makes it
louder.

Here's a newsflash, cretin - unless you have some kind of time-delay
circuitry, you're going to hear the front speakers first NO MATTER
WHAT. It doesn't matter whether your front speakers are louder or
whether your rear speakers are louder. "Putting more to the rear"
will NOT change this one little bit. Not by one millisecond,
microsecond, or nanosecond.
Loud noises do NOT travel any faster or slower than quiet noises. The
very first chapter of any book on sound propagation will expain this
to you. The ONLY things that affect the speed of sound are the
temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and CO2 concentration in
the air.
Notice that frequency and volume are not in that list. High-frequency
sounds travel just as fast as low-frequency sounds, and loud sounds
travel just as fast as slow sounds.
You talking about changing the time-of-arrival by adjusting the fader
is the stupidest/funniest thing I've heard on this group since
mmdir2000 accidentally let all the freon out of his car's air
conditioning system while trying to track down a bad ground in his
stereo system.

We'll have to add "short-term memory" to the list of things you don't

To refresh your memory, here's a quote from your earlier post:
"scott you would hear the fronts first with the same power all
around..doh..thats why i put more to the rear.to hear them all
together....ok"
Again, "putting more" to the rear is not going to do a damned thing to
help you "hear them all together". Without time-correction circuitry,
you're always going to hear the front speakers first, no matter how
much you fiddle with the fader.
And I hardly have to "try" to trip you up to make you look bad - as
long as we can keep you talking, you're a regular fountain of

If you can't hear 10 watts to a normal speaker in a car, then something is

There is a great difference between how well you hear the sound
(amplitude) and the speed of the sound (about 332 meters/sec). You
might be able to hear a loud sound easier than a soft sound but not
"sooner", the speed, i.e. the time it takes to leave the source and
reach your ear, is the same. Unless you think you can prove that the
existing laws of physics are invalid. However, since you can't even use
proper grammer, spelling, or punctuation I guess you couldn't hold a
reasonable scientific discussion anyway.

Nope, more power still doesn't affect speed-of-travel. It will make
it louder or softer when it reaches your ears, but it make it arrive
any sooner or later. Saying that "500rms will travel to you sooner"
is completely, totally, 100% could-not-be-more-wrong.

Show me anywhere in the formula for the speed of sound where amplitude
makes a difference. Here's a hint - it doesn't.
Anyway, we're talking about distances inside a car, so even with only
one watt, the sound will still be able to travel the five feet or so
to your ears.
The only things you can do to truly make the music "travel faster" are
to change the temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, or
concentration of the various gases in the atmosphere.

Listen, imbecile. No one said there's not a difference in sound. The fact
that you keep bringing this up demonstrates that you're dumb as a rock. The
question here is the SPEED OF SOUND WAVE PROPAGATION.

If you're asking if 100 watts delivered to a speaker can be heard 1000 ft
away, the answer is yes. It depends of course on the frequency,
directionality, and ambient conditions.

Power doesn't affect speed. With less power, the sound will be weaker
when it arrives at a certain distance, but it won't get there any
faster or slower.
No one is claiming that more amplification won't make the music
louder, we're just pointing out that more amplification won't get it
there any faster.
Think of it this way. Do the quiet parts of a song take longer to get
to you than the loud parts? If a singer is singing loudly, with a
guitar playing softly in the background, does the singer's voice get
out-of-sync with the background instruments, even at a concert over a
distance of several hundred feet? Of course not. (Don't start in on
echoes or any **** like that, either - we're talking about
straight-line travel here).

You are correct.
Power does not effect speed. The speed of sound depends on several
factors but generally is about 332 meters/sec, power does not effect
speed, it does effect volume (SPL) produced when applied to a given
speaker/transducer. The greater the power the higher the SPL (Sound
Pressure Level).
<SNIP>

"Heard fine", relates to amplitude and frequency, not the speed of
sound.
Power does effect the distance and loudness at which it can be heard
depending on the sensitivity of your hearing. A completely deaf person
wouldn't hear it at all no matter the power. Does that mean the speed
of sound is Zero for the deaf person but something else for a hearing
person? I think not. How about an ultra sentive microphone and SPL
meter that can measure very low level sounds at 100 meters that *your
ears* cannot detect? Does that mean the speed of sound in air at sea
level is ZERO (against the laws of physics) because *you* can't hear it?
That's like covering your own eyes in a well lighted room full of people
and proclaiming "You can't see me", unless they are already blind.
Speed (meters/sec) and volume (SPL) and power (watts) are all different.
With a speaker of given specifications, power and volume do relate to
each other, speed does not.

assuming we live in waldy world, and it actually does matter, who gives a

332m/s ....you're talking about a delay of roughly .006s
using bob wald logic a 35% increase would bring out speed of sound (lol) up
to 448m/s so the sound would be lagged .0044s your front speakers are maybe
1m away so they lag .003s and viola you've still got lag even with a 35%
increase in SPEED (bob wald power)
and still amazed by your stupidity....if you're standing 25m away from two
speakers, one playing a 35hz tone at 250w and one playing a 35hz tone at
500w does that mean that essentialy the rules of the speed of sound don't
apply? both should project the sound this far, but are you serious that you
think one of the sound waves is going to get there first?

Yes it will go, it is energy, it just might not be loud enough for you
to hear it. There is still energy there, it travels at 322 m/sec. Ever
hear of the inverse square law?
From:
http://phya.yonsei.ac.kr/~phylab/board/exp_ref/upfile/pasco/P60_INV2.pdf
"One of the most common natural laws is the inverse square law. As one
famous scientist put it, "the inverse square law is characteristic of
anything which starts out from a point source and travels in straight
lines without getting lost." Light and sound intensity both behave
according to an inverse square law when they spread out from a point
source. Your intuition says that as you move away from a point source of
light like a light bulb, the light intensity becomes smaller as the
distance from the bulb becomes larger . The same is true for sound
intensity as you move away from a small radio speaker. What may not be
as obvious is that if you move twice as far from either of these
sources, the intensity becomes one fourth as great, not half as great.
In a similar way, if you are at the back of an auditorium listening to
music and you decide to move three times closer, the sound intensity
becomes nine times greater. This is why the law is called the inverse
square law."

What if you can't hear a sound, but someone with better hearing
standing right next to you can hear it? Is the speed of sound still
zero then?
Sounds waves don't behave like projectiles - they don't slow down and
eventually stop as they get weaker.

No, the speed of light is nonzero. If there aren't any photons available to
reach a target, then by definition it's not light so it can't have speed.
> same with sound.
The amplitude of sound decays to the point at which there is no sound (eg.
no one will hear your voice 100 miles away because the sound has died out -
not because it's slowed to zero; although, I imagine the hot air coming out
of your mouth is so significant that it causes local atmospheric changes
that may encompass a radius that large).

Sound waves continue to travel through the air, even after they've
become too faint for you to hear. Increasing the volume may make them
louder when they get to you, but they won't get to you any faster.

This has been explained to him several times, Including the laws of
physics regarding the speed of sound. He doesn't appear to understand
he can't break/violate the laws of physics, and what the difference
between speed and volume is.

It really just depends on what you want your car to sound like. Some
people like to have a solidly-anchored "front stage", with only a
little bit of rear fill to "flesh out" the sound. Others like to hear
everything coming from everywhere. It's easier to tell where
high-frequency sounds are coming from, so having tweeters in the rear
and feeding them with a lot of power can sometimes "pull" the
soundstage more towards the middle or the rear of the car.
For my tastes, I usually go with two- or three-way component speaker
sets in the front, some 5-1/4" or 6-1/2" coaxials in the rear deck,
depending on what will fit, and then one or two 12" subs in the trunk,
crossed-over fairly low (around 60-80 Hz).
I'll give 75-100W to each of the front component sets, 50W or so to
the rear speakers, and then about 300-400W to the sub(s). If I
switched to the newer "Class D" amps for the subs, I'd probably feed
them a lot more power, since the digital-switching amps are so much
cheaper per watt and so much more efficient than my older Class AB
amps. But I've got several of the old Precision Power "Art Series"
amps that I like a lot, so I'll probably hold onto them for a long
time.

ok i have decided to go with the cheaper visonik.4way 6x9s, $39.Since
some say the rear speakers are unimportant.i wont spend much on them.
i do wish i could go these visoniks, 2front,2rear.

Because in one of your later posts you said the sound travels faster
with more watts. It does NOT. The speed of sound does not change with
power, the volume changes with power, not the time (speed over distance)
it gets to your ears. Learn some 5th grade physics.

I'll try to put this in perspective for you. Lets say you had a parabolic
microphone, and if you dont know what that is, it is a microphone that can
pick up sound from FAR away. So lets say you're standing 100yards from an
object that is making noise. The problem is, you can no longer hear it after
you're 50 yards away. So according to what you're saying, there would be NO
noise at 100 yards. Using the microphone you can hear the noise from 100
feet. Now, you tell me if the sound still exists or not.

It's not a trick answer; it's an uninformed wrong answer.
Your high power amp sends audio from your speakers at 332m/s, that's a
measurement of speed by the way. My low power amp sends audio from my
speakers at 332m/s. Which sound wave is faster?
Remember, it's "a trick answer".
As Scotty said "Cap'n I cana change the laws of physics." They are
equally as fast, neither is faster. Fast=speed=332m/s for sound. Do
you think 60mph on the highway is faster for your 300hp car than 60mph
for my 150hp car? 60mph=60mph.
Now to practical audio matters.
Assuming no losses in air sound goes on forever, decreasing in intensity
following the inverse square law already explained to you with links to
authority pages. Therefore the limiting factor is the sensitivity of an
individuals ears or measuring instruments to sound volume.
So what does more power into the same speaker under the same conditions
give you, assuming the speaker has a linear power curve and can handle
the power applied?
It starts out with a higher volume (SPL) that travels at the same speed
as any other sound in air (332m/s), and decays following the same
inverse square law; but, it is audible for a greater distance not
because it's faster, but because it's louder and takes a longer distance
to decay to your threshold of hearing.
Now assume you are not sitting in the center of your car, most people
don't, and the rear speakers are further away from you than the front
speakers. I did see a car built special for IASCA World Finals where
the driver sat in the center. Yes, to get the same loudness/volume
(SPL) at your ears from rear speakers identical to your front speakers
you would need more power. This is usually done with your fader
control. You can thus feel like you are surrounded in sound instead of
hearing front staging like you do at a live concert.
However, because the rear speakers are further away, the length of time
it takes the same sound starting at the same instant in time from both
your front and rear speakers to reach your ears is increased for the
rear speakers. If your front speakers are 1m away it would take 0.0030s
(1/332s) that's 3ms to reach your ears. If your rear speakers are 2m
away (2X as far) it would take 0.0060s (2/332s) that's 6ms to reach your
ears. That is why for very critical listening where you might want the
front and rear sounds reaching your ear at exactly the same TIME you
employ time alignment methods. That is you introduce a delay in your
closer speakers to compensate for the differences in distance, a 3ms
delay in this case. This also applies for differences between left and
right speaker distances. So if your right rear speaker was the farthest
away you would have delay times for left front, right front, center
channel,right rear and all of those tweeters if they are different
distances than your mid range speakers. Note that some high-end car
audio systems come with that adjustment ability built-in, mine did.

HERE WE HAVE IT AGAIN. Read your statements above, you can read can't
you? Appears my earlier comments about your poor communication skills,
grammar, spelling, and punctuation were right on the mark.
Let me help by quoting your words in this post.
"ive said 50 times by agreeing with
you...power does not make sound faster."
--I agree, power does not make sound faster.--
"if underpowered sound cant reach you the more power
does make it faster for the last 10feet."
--Here you go again stating power makes sound faster the last 10 feet.--
Power *never* makes it FASTER it makes it LOUDER. You, being quite the
car audio expert do know the difference between loudness/volume/sound
pressure level (SPL) and speed don't you?
Even correcting your error in the last quote by stating it is louder for
the last 10 feet is only partially correct. It is louder from the first
and stays louder forever.
Try this simple experiment. Start with 10watts, divide the number 10 by
2, divide that resulting answer by 2, continue dividing each resulting
answer by 2 until you reach the result of 0. You do know how to divide
by 2 don't you? Do it by hand on paper, calculators lie.
Don't post back here until you can tell everyone how many times you had
to divide by 2 to reach 0.

Besides, I'm a bit surprised it was the right hemisphere you injured and not
the left. Your clear lack of reading comprehension smacks of some form of

Well as I said in my example, this "underpowered sound" does in fact reach
you, but it's too quiet for you to hear. Another example is a person with a
hearing disorder. Some people may not hear what someone else is saying, but
the person beside them hears perfectly. So does that mean there isn't any
sound, because one person can't hear it?

Oh Lord, I forgot you were on WebTV. Thank you for reminding me of the fact
that you don't know what a computer is. The soundcard volume on a computer
sort of equates to the volume button on a TV, turn the TV down and your

propagation since you're posting in a newsgroup, I assume?
