Default new kenwood speakers

i had factory speakers with my subs for a long time but i ended up getting the KFC-C6893PS, in that process i found out the ones in the back were blown. heres my situation, i like the clarity that these kenwoods have but i wanna keep my hard hitting base. here is what im thinkin

move the kenwoods to the back and get some kickers or some kind of speaker with alot of base in the front. what do yall think?

The bass your feeling is not from the door speakers it is from the subs. So either way you go it wont change. Go with another set of those speakers and you should be good although for rear fill I would a 3 way and a 2 way up front.

i know its from the subs, but i thought some speakers like bose and kicker have alot more bass than clarity. but products like infinty and the ones i have give more clarity than bass, and the kenwoods i have are 3 way.

so to be on the same page, ur sayin put the ones i have in the back and a set of 2 way in the front? im guessin 2 way will give me that bass im lookin for in the front?

Whatever you put in the front put bass blockers on them to keep the bass out. You will never get the bass out of a 6x8 speaker like you do your subs.

No the 2 way up front and moving your 3 ways to the rear will give you clarity and not overpower you with the mids and highs. Your never going to get bass out of your 6x8 speakers no matter what you do. If your wanting midbass up front get a set of 3 way components or a 6.5" midbass and glass up some kickpanel pods.

6x8 speakers are the factory size for in the doors. They are physically not big enough to give you the deep bass. That is why you have your subs. A bass blocker is a capacitor that you put in line with the + terminal on the 6x8 speakers to keep the deep bass going to them therefore eliminating distortion.
