My new 6x9 subwoofers pics inside

Interesting.

Don't free-air them. They need to be sealed up.
They look like they would be comparable to a short-throw 8".
What is their RMS power rating?
They look like they might be around 100-150 watts RMS each.
What is the Xmax rating on them?

Do you have a dedicated amp on them, with a crossover?

Silicone Tupperware baskets under them ???
NO. Very bad idea.

I was gona try to hook it up to my existing factory wiring. It is wired to my 4 channel amp. I have been trying to find the specs but no luck so far on it. I just know its a memphis audio and seems to be decent quality. The rear channel has a seperate crossover so i can set the frequency to low pass and the gain appropriately. Only question is it going to provide enough power.

heres a copy and paste from the website for the specs on the subs.

The oval shaped frame of the W69-1042 gives you the surface area of a typical 8" driver in the footprint of a 6-1/2". Perfect for constructing a narrow-baffle subwoofer, or for automotive installs in factory 6" x 9" locations. High power handling and long excursion for excellent low-bass performance. Specifications: *Power Handling: 90 watts RMS/170 watts max *VCdia: 1-1/2" *Impedance: 8 ohms *Re: 6.5 ohms *Frequency range: 35-350 Hz *Fs: 35 Hz *SPL: 87 dB 2.83V/1m *Vas: 1.34 cu.ft. *Qms: 6.05 *Qes: 0.37 *Qts: 0.35 *Xmax 7 mm *Dimensions: A: 6-1/2" x 9-1/4", C: 4-3/16".

Ah yes. I saw these on the PartsExpress website.
They are Tang-Ban or something like that.
Anything from 40-100 watts should run them fine.
80 watts would probably be perfect.

Let us know how they sound after you get them installed.

I think what he meant by "free-air" is that he was just going to stick them in the rear deck and call it a day. There should be no problem with him doing so if the back seat is up; and even if it was down, the only issues he may have is some noise cancellation due to the sound waves coming from both the top and bottom of the speaker itself.
