I'm trying to figure out how to get the front speakers out of my 91dx hatch. I've taken the screws off of the speaker cover and the cover won't pop off. What do I need to do to get the stock blown up speakers off??

If I remember correctly, (it's been a VERY long time since I've done mine) the speaker cover is kind of tabbed in like the tail light covers in the hatch area. Once you take the two screws out, just give the cover a nice pull.

sh!ft

yes there are about a couple of .5 or 1 inch tabs. find em and use a flathead to pop them off so you wont crack em

I'm gonna go try it really quick and see what happens. Thanks for the info I'll let you know what happens in a few minutes.

Fo-Do Fanatic

alright I got them off. In that whole process I only broke two tabs on the driver door. The stock speakers are 6.5in correct?

sh!ft

if im not mistaken yes but you could do 7's if you wanted to lightly trim the part where it sits

TeamRedline89Hatch

99% sure the door speakers are 5.25's.

fronts are 5.25

snap my bad...I was thinking you had a CRX. I need to read.

I'm not exactly sure what the sizes are for HB's, but I did find this:

you can fit 6.5" in the front. just drill out the back of the speaker basket.

Speakers are 6.5" up front...just did this in my 91' hatch. Be careful on what speakers you pick, as you have limited mounting depth. It might be best to pick up some .5" spacers or even 1" depending on the speaker your putting in. It is possible to get speakers that fit but they are usaually a pretty weak speaker.

i did pick up some memphis power reference speakers that are 6.5's and i did have to get i small .25in washer/spacer for it and they sound amazing.

now another question. my car doesn't have rear speakers and i was wondering how you guys would go about wiring them up since there is no dins or anything from them but i do believe that the stock harness has the wires for them?

TeamRedline89Hatch

Ah, STD model? lol, I have one too. My car didn't have rear speakers back when I got it but there was factory wiring for them. Also, pretty sure you are going to have to get the little speaker pods from a DX or Si to mount them "properly." Good luck!

Fo-Do Fanatic

see that's what gets me. my car is badged as a dx but has no rear speakers, power steering, a/c, nor rear speakers. wtf lol.

TeamRedline89Hatch

I see, that's exactly how STD was, but mine didn't have the passenger mirror lol. Your DX should have the rear speaker wiring back there though.

Fo-Do Fanatic

oh and i forgot to mention there is no passenger mirror. **** pisses me off soooo badly. a can't find one at the junk yard for the life of me either!!! is your std model labeled as a DX or what?

hatchet_honda

what?? dx..si..nor std..they didnt have rear speakers. where the hell would they be anyways? besides on the hatch area like an sir

hatchet_honda

the std is a dx...same thing...just 4spd trans and no options. no ac, dash clock, pass mirror lol i hate it too

Fo-Do Fanatic

no ed6 had rear speakers? wtf kind of engineering is that honda!!! doin me dirty son! i think i'll just have to have my buddy jesse that owns audio northwest custom fab me up some speaker trays for the rear. so i can actually hear the full potential of the music.

hatchet_honda

LOL im good with the pioneers in the door, its a hatch...my focus is under the hood anyways

Fo-Do Fanatic

ya but you gotta have good tunes lol.

hatchet_honda

well i have 12 inch subs in the hatch...works for me

TeamRedline89Hatch

Haha, nah it's a STD. I had the 4 speed manual and everything. Actually, some old lady hit my fender a few years back and when I talked with her insurance people they asked if my car was Si model, lol. Gave me a good laugh.

I'm not sure but I thought that there where different hubs/axels & brakes up front on a std, and the DX/Si had the same setup as far as those areas went. The rear speakers where an option that not many people got. They would go in the left and right plastic panels out side of the removable cargo cover. The panels that accept the speakers are a completely different design though.

I always felt that a good place to put some rear speakers would be above the back seat arm rests below the windows. There's plenty of room there, you would probably be able to fit some 6x9's with some custom work.
