for the rear fill in my jeep what would work better 4 6x9's or 4 4x6's? I'm asking because i already have one set of 4x6's from my previous vehicle, but i was looking originally to do 4 6x9's in my jeep.

Well... first of all why are you using 4 speakers for "rear fill"? Not a good idea IMO... In any case, there is very little difference between 6X9s and 4X6's just because of the size. The brand and type of speaker and how you are powering them makes a LOT more difference to how it sounds than the size. What are your plans? ------------- Support the12volt.com

well i have an american pass 400.4 that puts out 100 watts per channel at two ohms, and i was planning on powering four speakers for the rear fill and two for the front stage. and also why would you say that is a bad idea?

I say it's a bad idea for many reasons, the most important being that having the same program material coming from two different speakers often leads to cancellation and distortion, but also because if you care about SQ you really don't want "rear fill" to dominate your sound field. What are you using for your front main speakers? ------------- Support the12volt.com

two jvc 51/4" off of the same amp, and also the rear speakers would be matched, they would be the same speakers, not mixed

So the majority of the sound will be coming from behind you. If that's what you want, go for it. ------------- Support the12volt.com

what you are doing is rear stage not rear fill... its the difference between someone who lives in the realm of sound quality and someone who just likes sound in general.
anyway, the only difference you will probably notice between a 6x9 and a 4x6, all other variables being roughly equal, is obviously you will notice more bass from a 6x9. is this an open soft shell jeep?

Ignoring the wisdom (or lack thereof) of putting speakers behind your head, you are planning to operate three pairs of 4-ohm speakers from one 4-channel amp, right? How do you plan to wire them? ------------- Support the12volt.com
