6x9s suck ? lmao , im sorry but i dnt agree with anything youve sed, power caps save your battery and 6x9s are better than wank little rear speakers that blow up after a week of loud playing :

6X9S Are for MAXPOWER chav's and as for little rear speakers you can get realy good one's. BUT you dont realy need back speakers unless you have friends in the back as thay pull the sound. The best set up you can get realy is comp's up front amp them up say around 50 to 100rms each side and a sub in the boot.

And power cap's are a wast of ££££.

But you can all way's ask @ CLICK HERE

u dont get it, the cap stores some power for your battery and wen the music peaks your voltage dips... this is wen u need the power cap.... fit a voltage gauge inside your car and see wat i mean ! the fuckin voltage drops in rhythm with the beat of the music lmao !!! honestly mate !!

im not the one buying one !!! my sub aint even connected at mo, need a new amp. im just sayin u need one for a powerful system. i have a voltmeter in my car, and wen sub was wired up (even being underpowered) it was fuckin hammering my battery (which is brand new) my mates car was cutting out nearly with music on loud, no it doesnt, what does that tell you? they are a good product if you have your music loud ! and arent a rich bastard with a £300 battery. there was a corsa c at southport with 9 power caps, you saying he had them for fuck all ? nope !
