Well, you'd have to cross to the 6x9 pretty low. Like 60 Hz or so. Otherwise
you'll get a heck of a discontinuity in the lower midrange. The ear is
pretty good at direction at those frequencies. So some of the midrange would
sound like it's coming from the back and some from the front. Odd sound.

That's assuming your crossover isn't any steeper than 24db per octave, and
if you go steeper than that there are severe problems both electrically and
acoustically if I understand crossover theory correctly.

This all may be b.s. As vehicle interiors do odd things to sound but I think
it's likely enough to be real careful before you spend the money.

IMHO or something like that.

Anybody want to buy some Fulton Speakers?
