I have a used pair of those I'll sell. They are only slightly used, but there are a couple small issues:
1. I removed the rubber ring that you see on the perimeter of the drivers so that my 5th gen's stock rear grills would fit.
2. During the process of removing the rubber rings, I nicked the surrounds in a couple places with a blade. I was being lazy and impatient. The damage is very minimal.
3. On one of the speakers, the surround started lifting a bit, so I used a bit of RTV to glue it back down. It hasn't come off at all or affected performance.
They work as intended, but they are not sensitive speakers, meaning they need a good amount of power to run loud. Because of this, they didn't work well with my front speakers, so I replaced them with speakers similar to my fronts. I have everything they came with (minus the rings I cut off), and are in the original box.
I'll sell them for $50 plus shipping. Let me know. I can get you pics if you'd like.
Genesis Profile 69 6x9" Subwoofer
The Genesis P16 subwoofers are designed to meet the growing need to retain complete interior space in a vehicle, these subwoofers were developed and designed to fit discreetly into standard 6x9" OEM speaker locations in many of todays cars.
These versatile subwoofers are designed for infinite baffle applications, using the cars internal cavities or trunk space as their enclosure, allowing the complete bass spectrum to be experienced without sacrificing ANY space to a large woofer enclosure.
High efficiency ensures an abundance ofdeep Musical low frequency output, even from modest amplification.
If you have a space issue or you wish to upgrade an existing OEM system discreetly without adding large, heavy enclosures, then the Genesis P69 could be exactly what you are looking for!
Nota Bene: The P69 are available in 4 ohm and 8 ohm versions Genesis P69 Specifications:
i read in another post that 6x9 is 8"? so can i essentialy get a 8" to fit nicely in my vtec bass enclosure? if it fits then whats the best brand or sub to get? i like quality... is there anything better then alpine? is alpine better then kicker?
Looking to add some punch to your car's sound system? Rockford Fosgate built its reputation on great bass, and their rugged Punch Stage 1 subs dish out powerful lows that will accentuate your music's deep strengths.
The molded polypropylene cone works with a poly-foam surround to deliver accurate response, while the stitched-on, flexible tinsel leads hang tough through violent cone movement so you get consistent performance. The steel basket provides a rock-solid foundation for these tenacious thumpers, and you get a PVC magnet cover for additional protection.
The P1S48 8" subwoofer handles up to 150 watts RMS, and can be mounted in a sealed or ported box. Details:
8" 4-ohm subwoofer
molded polypropylene woofer cone with poly-foam surround
16-gauge steel bend frame
power range: 50-150 watts RMS (300 watts peak power)
If you want bass, get a sub, not a 6x9. No 6x9 will give you the type of lower freq bass that a real sub can output. The best a 6x9 can do is give it a hard kick.
But if you get a sub, you will need to build a box and it will take up more space. I haven't heard those geneses speakers but I got to play with those CDT 6x9. I am not sure if they are the same model as what they were 3 years ago but the model 3 years ago sounded decent. It kicked pretty hard but like all 6x9, it lack the lows.
As far as the sub brand goes, you can't say brand X is better then brand Y because both brand will make high end stuff and some low end stuff. If you want SQ and if you are comparing Alpine with Kicker, typically Alpine is known to have better sound quality and I was never a fan of RF subs.
Unless if you are really tight on space, I would go with a 10" instead of an 8". Mainly because there isn't many decent 8" subs for about $100. Most GOOD 8" subs are priced above $200.
well id spend tops on my sub 200... prob more if it could fit in the enclosure.... i just wanted 6x9 sub in it.. cant believe they dont sell it... would it be hard to fit a smallest sub? like 8" or 9 or 10? rather not have to mod fit one... sounds expensive and i have no exp....
I am not sure what enclosure you are talking about, a stock one? or the stock location for the back speaker? I just recently bought a 99 Prelude so haven't really looked into what the stock system is. All I know is the stock rear fits a standard 6x9. You can not fit a round subwoofer in the back. I don't know where you heard that a 8" sub can fit in a 6x9" slot. Maybe if you put a really tall spacer or something, but even then, it would sound like ****.
Just about every sub requires a box for it to bump, except those that can work with "free air". If you get a sub with free air, you need to have your trunk sealed tight, no leaks.
For $200 you can get a pretty good sub. But I hope you have more then that because you would need to get a box and an amp to power the sub.
FYI, even if you just drop a 6x9 in the back stock location, it is still recommended you get an aftermarket amp to power it.
genesis or cdt? and what ring are u talking about? are the speakers u speak of strictly for subwoofing?
Just to clarify, I'm selling a pair of the CDT CL-69s you posted, the exact same model. If you want to experiment with them, buying mine would be a cheap way to try them out.
The "ring" I'm talking about is the rubber part that goes along the perimeter of the CDTs, where the surround is. You can easily see them in the pic. It does nothing except take up space. I had to remove it for my car's grills to fit. I have the CDT grills and everything that came with the speakers.
Try those 6x9 subs at your own discretion. There have been users that tracked down other 6x9 free air subs in the past, and they didn't fit correctly into the factory bracket.
If you come up with the money for a small system (amp/sub/enclosure/wiring) then read below...
I know that our trunks are a joke for storage space, so if you want to have a sub and keep as much space as you can, look at truck boxes. There are a lot of sub/enclosure setups that are small and thin (because they're made to go behind truck seats) that fit a single thin 10" or 12" sub. Small amps to power the sub are not hard to find. Something like this would have much more output and low end depth than a free air 6x9 sub. (that you'd need to find an amp to power correctly anyway)

how viable would it be to put in an 8inch? can i get it customly done? or would it rattle.... maybe if its not that much i can get an 8 or 10 inch? would 500 cover it?
$500 should be able to cover everything, from speakers, box, amp and amp kit. You should be able to get a good system with that kind of money. It does not need to be custom built. It can, but it will cost more then $500. A good 8" sub will be better then any 6x9 in the lower freq. Personally I would go with a 10" sub that works in a small encloser.

An 8" sub can be put in the factory spot between the seats. It has been done by a board member, but it was a custom job. The sub wasn't behind the factory grill, it was mounted to the front of it and fiberglass was used to construct it. There used to be pics of it in the picture thread. Other than that, just get a small amp and truck box setup, if you want to save space.
I'm thinking of switching to something like that, because those setups are small enough to actually fit between the back of the rear seat and my Spoon strut bar in the trunk.
