Whats the Best 6X9 for my IROC

I just purchased a brand new Head Unit Its pretty decent pumpin out 60Wx4. I just need it to power my four speakers for now. My question is what do you guys think the best 6x9 speakers are? In terms of decent sound reproduction and little bass without rattle. Thanks!

Thanks for your 2 cents man. But, Ive only heard bad news about Sony's car line. I heard it sucks. Any other suggestions? THANKS!

i am currently running the pioneer 4-way 6x9, but will be swapping em out for the infinity kappa 3 ways soon.

The deck i will be using is the pioneer 1.5 din (so it fits w/o an adapter plate).

up front will be the infinity perfect 5.1 component series in q-logic kicker panels.

haven't decided on the back half yet.

I have nothing but good words for infinity, havent really heard a bad word against them really, I'm only running the reference series 4x6, 6x9 and 12" sub, but when i switched from running off the HU to the 4 channel mtx amp, there is a HUGE improvement, altho it says 60WX4 that would be max, rms would be somewhere around 20 i woudl think

Go and listen to a bunch and pay no attention to brand name. Pick the one that sounds best to YOU!

Always ask about warranties not only do companies differ but also different models inside the same company at times.

I always liked the Memphis Power Refrence line for that fact, sure they don't eat up a bunch of power (like their other lines) but it's hard to look past a lifetime warranty.

I think Eclipse takes the cake for high end mids and tweets....had an old **** set of Eclipse 6X9s in my car when i got it and they sounded great for 2 years until i traded em out for a set of components (and then got screwed on those, but thats another story) and i also run Eclipse in my dash and they are the best 4X6 plates ive been able to find...... ok so im a litte biased and all i buy is Eclipse but thats because ive always been overly happy with quality and performance!
