Removing the 6x9 for more bass (coupe)

For those of you that have removed the 6x9 to try and allow more bass to come into cabin, have you actually noticed an increase in bass? I'm reworking my system this weekend and was contemplating ditching the 6x9s for more bass. I already have two Infinity 12.1D powered by a Alpine Pdx 1.1000 back there, but I do have the Kappa 693.7 currently in the rear deck (I know for true imaging it is best to remove the rear speakers period, but that isn't my concern)

I think I'm gonna try it out this weekend, I just don't want to lose any volume in my system as I really like the way the Infinity 693's sound and they complement the Infiniti Perfect 6.1 upfront.

i did this 2 weeks ago by my self when i installed my sub with amp

you can reach those subs from your trunk, disconnect the white gauge plugs, tape it with electric tape to prevent rattling and you are done!

dont let those cheap bass to muddle your good bass

That's just disconnecting them. The OP is referring to removing them completely so there are a pair of holes in the rear deck.

I removed mine but I didn't do an AB comparison. It can't hurt.

I removed mine while installing my sub so I don't know what the difference is, but it sounds great without them. Taking them out is a PITA though.

I have already removed the original blose speakers (which was a pain) and have a nice set of Infinity Kappa 6X9 back there which is why I was a little hesitant on removing them.

Thought people knew about this already. Once I decided to install a sub in the trunk, this was the first thing I wanted to do. Remove the 6x9s and leave the Blose grills alone. The holes will allow your trunk to breathe and amplify the bass like a ported box.

Good Luck!!!

How do you remove the 6x9's? I have the whole rear of my car gutted right now except for the rear deck and the plastic that the driver and passenger seat belt go into (the plastic peice that covers that rear quarter window). Do you just pull those 2 plastic peices out that are around the rear side 2 windows?
