Default Will these two speakers actually sound different?

I know the specs are different, but I'm curious to know if in reality the extra 22 Hz lower that the Kenwood can go will make an audible difference.

Blaupunkt PCx693
92 dB sensitivity
50-20k Hz
2-70 RMS Power
210 MAX Power

Kenwood KFC-6909
93 dB sensitivity
28-30k Hz
2-65 RMS Power
250 MAX Power

Default Depends where you're mounting them

If in the parcel shelf, then you are unlikely to hear much of a difference as the mid &amp; hi's have to bounce off the rear screen

Yeah, they'll be on the rear deck. How about the bass, will there be much of a difference?

Default You'd be lucky to hear below 30 hz

not many people do, if your sub plays that low its more likely that you'll feel the sub's vibrations than hear them.

Default You'd be extremely lucky to hear 100Hz out of 6x9's

The bass will be similar from both sets, the only difference seems to be one has a mid range tweeter.

That's what I though, I figured the "on paper" difference was greater than any audible differences.
