Topic: How loud can a pair of 6x9 get?
I'm going to roll with no subs for awhile and right now I have a pair of JBL 5 1/4" components upfront and a pair of JBL 6x9s all getting 25 watts a piece. I plan to quadruple that power soon and I'm wondering if anyone had good experience using just a pair of 6x9s on rear deck to pull off bass duties? I know it's not going to be crazy deep bass but I want as much as possible.Past Setup

Subs will come later and I'm just getting a bigger 4 channel amp for the sake of more volume and match subs when I get them. 25 watts per channel is weak especially when I have a big car.Past Setup

Yeah I'm not trying to get deep bass because 6x9s can't anyway, instead I'm looking for what it can do which is 40Hz and up. It doesn't sound half bad right now but I can tell the speakers need more power.Past Setup
