Default 6x9 in lids

Recommendations for 6x9 in lids please. I already have mmats 601cx in the farring and I'm fairly happy with them for now. I'm running a Rockford fosgate 400tmx4. But I'm going to get a bigger amp. It just what I'm using for now. After the lids I'm goin to put 8's or 10's in the bags with jefe rings. So next question should I run baffes on those 6x9s when I put the 8's or 10's in the bag. An of course I will add another amp to power them.

Do you have a dsp?

Next, if you go with 10's, I would skip the 6x9 and get a compression driver for the lid to fill in midrange. Then you don't have to worry about baffling.

No I do not and I know that's something I would have to get. But I'm trying to lay out everything so I don't waste money.

Completely understand brother. Do it once and be done. Are you leaning towards 8's or 10's? What's your budget? Are lowers price tour pack in play for speaker locations?

It would probably be about an hour and a half or so ride but would definitely be worth the time.
Give Alex and Henry a call and let them know what you're looking for then make an appointment to meet them.
They are both Great Guys that will take very good care of You.
If I lived that close, I'd be there all the time.
Best of Luck.
Mike

To be honest I haven't heard enough of either of them but I'm leaning towards 10's. Just on knowing myself. I always want more so I'm thinking go big or go home! Lol
