What about impedance ? Are the 6x9s, 2 or 4 ohm and the 8, 8 or 4 ?
Just a thought

Is it just me, or is everyone simply skimming over the fact that maybe the 6x9's are optimised for IB, and the 8" isnt? Given the 8" is not firing into any box, may be the biggest reason why you have no low end.

I have to agree with this, I had not as good response out of my SLS8's when I first installed them IB. After I have them in sealed enclosures now, they produce stupid amounts of bass.
