When shopping for speakers to use with audio systems, there are styles designed as 6×9 speakers, which are used in cars and trucks. Most of these products have an oval shape, but there are a few styles with a square shaped surface. The basic design of the 6×9 speakers has the back side open with just metal encasing the inner components. This makes it easier to install the item into a dash or back shelf area in an automobile. The area where the speaker will be placed, needs to have a cutout section to drop it into.

There are also wires that need to be connected to the audio system in order for the 6×9 speakers to emit sound. Some people place the units in the front door panels as well as the front dash, to get a better surround sound experience. The different models available can come as triaxial, coaxial or dome axial styles. This refers to the way the surface material is shaped to create the sound quality. Some of these units can include a woofer and tweeter in addition to the basic front and rear speakers.

Among some of the better models available are the Pioneer five way units. This package includes one mid-range, one tweeter and two super tweeters. This system can handle eighty watts of power for each speaker, making it a quality system to use when replacing one that was factory installed.  The price of a pair of 6×9 speakers will depend on the capabilities of the units as well as how many are included in the package. Most packages come with two, but people can purchase extras as separate items. More choices can be found at electronic stores and stores specializing in car audio systems.

People who have no limit on how much they can spend, will find systems available for more than two hundred dollars. People who are on a budget can find new units selling for as little as thirty-seven dollars. These items can also be purchased as used items for a lot less money. The cheaper priced items are good for installing audio in a car that does not currently have any type of system, which might be a second hand vehicle for a high school or college student. People have the option of installing the items themselves or having a professional technician do it for them, which will cost a small fee.
