I need some help to decide whether or not i should have 6 by 9s in the bak of my car. I got two jbl subs running off an alpine amp and alpine components in th front do you think it would improve the sound or ruin it if i put some speakers in the back? Some of my mates say it wont sound rite and some say it will sound better. Cheers chaps

leave it mate !!! 
the only way you can succesfully run 6x9s, is to have them going through a crossover (cut out the low freq's) and run them in a sealed box. Best bet, leave it and if you really want sum sound for your crew in the back, get some smallish (5inch or so) coaxials and run them off your HU, and cut the bass down.
hope this helps mate

yea, to behonest whats the point in speakers competing with each other?!  it will just cause it to sound muddy and it wont be clear, and thats why you have subs. To behonest, all of speakers (except subs) shouldnt go below 1kHz and you sub should do 1KHz down..obviously if you have a decent sub, most of them dont go higher than 500Hz, in which case, then rest of speakers will make up the missing freq's (IE:501Hz upwards). And you do this buying using crossovers and EQ's etc etc Its pretty simple and its just common sense.
So bottom line mate, if you have to have 6x9's, then atleast run them through a crossover (which you can adjust). But like i said, if you just after some sound in the back get coaxials and run them off your HU  Although if you are serious about your ICE, then everything would go through crossovers and EQ's and can all be amp'd nicely

got JL 6x9's on the parcel shelf running off a 4 channel amp (other to channels running fronts). Used the filter on my amp to back off the vast majority of the bass and they sound great in my opinion. Loud with the boot open and for ppl in the back and provide excellent rearfill for me in the front.
