6x9" Dual VC subwoofer?

burdette

I'm changing out the speakers in a 1993 Honda Accord EX wagon. This car has a single 6x9" dual VC sub driver in the driver's side rear wheel well. I've been driving ths car for a few years... and I didn't even know it was there (we bought this used so I didn't get any salesman's pitch). I knew about the 6.5" pair in the front doors, and the 4" pair in the rear rooftop, but in all that time I'd never had reason to look behind a particular clothed panel. Until now, when I'm replacing the other speakers, and just happen to be poking around. Anyway... that is what I found, and the old foam surround is just as deteriorated as the rest of the factory drivers.

I can't seem to find a replacement driver after a few quick searches.

Any suggestions? I'm not looking to spend a lot of money... I thought I was being nice to the car (and my ears) just swapping out the two pair of factory speakers I knew about. I really don't want to buy a pair of 6x9s and just use one of them, even if I cut off any mid/tweet it might have - waste of half my(unexpected additional) budget on an unused speaker. So.. just looking for some input from guys who spend more time thinking about car audio than I do these days.

Thanks.

Just a word of advice, aftermarket speakers usually don't sound very good mated to factory decks, at least in my experience. You might want to look at an expensive 4 channel amp, or head unit, or both. It can still be a budget system.

Thanks for the info, Russ. I found that first one at PE after posting here... missed the second one. The car already has an aftermarket JVC front end, with 45wpc built in. No extra amps.

Thanks.

now that's curious.... ask youself, where does the 6x9 sub get its power from if you have an aftermarket radio/headunit (which is only a 4 channel unit) ?

maybe the car has an external amplifier (factory supplied) ? but where ? and is this external amp even hooked up anymore ?

you may be buying a speaker just to toss it in a hole and never even be turned on.
