if you can hear the difference between a 6.5 and 6x9, and care enough to know that you hear the difference. you need to adjust the bra that is on top of your head so that they may sound the same.

mechanically, you can build a lighter, stronger speaker in a round cone shape then out of a oval cone shape, so in that instance the waterfall chart would show alittle difference. and further more you could consider the cone being a horn because of the point of initiation and it could give the 6x9 a wider dispertion pattern. but the main reason I would rather use a 6.5 is to be able to use a hole saw to cut the hole easier then a saw cutting an oval

I am looking at Infinity Kappa speakers, 693.7i(6x9) or 63.7i(6.5). So, in your opinion, what would sound better. 4 6x9s, rated at 110 watts RMS, with 125 watts RMS to each or 4 6.5s, rated at 75 watts RMS, with 90 watts RMS to each?
Or would your above comment come into play and it depend on how my head bra was adjusted?

power is the key to life, I would go with the most power you can. the shape and size of the speakers does not have that much to do with it.

What are the advantages of going to component speakers? I know they are suppose to sound better but why? Are they better speakers or just the crossover systems help them produce better sound?

actually co-axial speakers sound better, but there are more speakers out there that are seperate that use better parts and crossovers, that is why people think seperate are better. If you could get a single speaker to produce the full spectrum of sound it would be the best, so you need to get as close to that as possible, which means that a coax speaker is technically better.
