Re: JL c2-650x help??
Not without mods.
The JL Audio C2-650x is an "over-sized" 6.5" speaker, it requires a 5.56" diameter mounting hole, [most Honda/Acura have 5" diameter speaker mounting holes] the speakers mounting depth is 2.44", stock will be just short of 2".
The Honda fit uses a "clip mounting system" the speaker is it's own speaker mounting bracket, no screws, it "clips" into place.
You will need to make some custom MDF mounting plates.
Make the plates as big and thick as you can and still be able to fit behind the door panel, router a 5.56" hole in the panel and mount the panel at the stock location so hole centers in the grill, wire and mount the speaker and install door panel, call it a day.
Things to keep in mind...
A speaker needs a flat surface to mount to.
A speaker needs an airtight seal around it's mounting hole.
The more mass a speaker is mounted to the better it will sound, and if that mass is wood, even better.
Make sure speaker magnet or back of speaker does not interfere with window operation.
Make sure speaker mounting plate and/or speaker does not interfere with reinstalling door panel
Make sure door panel does not touch the speakers cone or tweeter cone.
Good luck. 94
