Default Couple of bass Qs and speaker install.

Ok, I'm new to all of this and I just bought a pretty nice system from a friend. I would like to know what you guys mean by removing the rear 6x9s? I see how to drop them off but do you mean disconnect them too? If so how do I do this...and will it affect sound much not having those speakers? Also what is this peal and seal you guys talk about? I want some for in my trunk I figured I could go to Home Depot. Thanks guys

some people remove the 6x9'* for the bass to trave through like port holes for your car. I like to have speakers back there and you can always open the ski pass so, if your 6x9'* dont put out or you dont care about losing mids in the back just remove them. I prefer to have them but i have beefed up my back speakers a bit. Peel and Seal is a product that is used for roofing and things like that, that is real comparable to dynomat (which is super expensive) you can save a nice chunk of money going the peal and seal route and it does deaden the rattles but no sound deadener is gonna take care of 100% of the problem so dont expect it to be perfect because of the trunk lid/bumper/everyhting else will still rattle so just take the rattling one step at a time.

I am not to overly worried about rattling, I actually eliminated quite a bit of that. So the product is actually called peal and seal? From what you say I would like to keep my 6x9s...maybe even install better ones, it looks to be extremely easy. How else can I let bass into the cabin more. I tested just dropping the 6x9s down and my bass was more clear and powerful.

there are SSEi'* out there that have a rear deck setup for tweeters also. if you get those speaker grills and don't use a tweeter it will act as a bass "port"

I do have some black mesh that'd be perfect for going over a hole to make it look stock if anyone could come up with an idea of how to make ports. I look and it doesn't seem feasible other than taking out the 6x9s.
EDIT: Also I managed to find some Peel And Seal at Lowe'*. I picked up 4 rolls of 6"x25'. That was the only size roll they had and it was all I could afford for now.

How much is that Peal and Seal stuff? Is it tacky on both sides? I need to find something for my spoiler. It is making most of the rattleing right now.

around $15 or so for the thin rolls and it is sticky on one side and foil backed on the other.

also, if you are going to replace the rear speakers you could get a smaller size which would in turn leave open space to the trunk.

It was $12 per roll for the size I got. Don't settle for anything but Peeal and Seal though, I got this other crap Tite Seal I think, and it'* way too thin. I gotta find another place that sells Peel and Seal so I can get more.
also, if you are going to replace the rear speakers you could get a smaller size which would in turn leave open space to the trunk.
But wouldn't that change the sound, aren't those speakers that size so they can produce the mid tones well?
