hey just got my speakers jacked?????? why just thoes i do not know.but it sucks not having any music.what size do i need to get for the front speakers?thanks

 

6 1/2

 

6.5

 

Everyone says 6 1/2, i had the same problem, thats not the stock size. The stock size is 5 1/4 but most ppl dont reccomend that cause its not as loud as the bigger badder 6.5. I wanted to keep the stock speaker mounts so i went to best buy and got some alpine 5 1 /4 and they sound awesome!

 

oh right, front and back speakers are 5 1/4 all the way around.. hope that helps

 

uh no....6.5 is stock.

Uhhh no.... 5 1/4 is.

 

uhhh no research before posting...this is why i posted a crutchfield link above for the op to research himself...!!!

1988-1991 Honda Civic Hatchback/Sedan/CRX

• Factory Stereo Installed [change]

Factory replacement info:

In-dash stereo 7-1/4" depth; Size code E Front speakers Front Door: 6-1/2" Rear speakers Side Panel: 6-1/2"

 

Oh really?

Then explain to me how my hatchback has (4) 5.25" Clarion speakers installed in the stock locations?

I've had 6.5" door speakers before, they dont fit in the stock cups and if they have a deep magnet you risk scratching your window on them.

The rear speaker pods(hatchback) will never be able to fit 6.5's without being hacked to pieces.

This is all 1st hand experience, not some **** off of crutchfield.

If there are differences in models that i am unaware of please, enlighten me.

 

6.5 /= 6 1/2

 

my crx stock speakers from 1989 are 6.5 or 6 1/2..... your in the ef forum btw

 

lulz. i have 6.5's in my car right now.

 

the speaker basket can fit a 6.5", but you TYPICALLY have to cut out the rear section to fit the larger magnet of any decent 6.5" speaker. a 5.25" speaker would work fine too and more conservative with the spacing. but a 6.5" is not risking anything.

the rears are 6.5 and have plenty of room for depth.

 

cool story bro...NOT...judging by searching some sites you are dead wrong about them only being 5 1/4...then again they are mixed with 5 1/4 & 6 1/2 for different models but they are definitely not all 5 1/4.

personally i could give a **** about your first hand experience for as you can see in this thread 75% say its 6.5 and 25% say its 5 1/4...i could just say that all speakers are 6.5 as first hand experience with the ef sedans but then again who gives a mierda.

crutchfield posted different specs and the link below posts other specs...what im amazed is how everyone in this thread really doesn't know wtf the op is referring to in vehicle so the way i see it everyone in here including myself failed.

no need to get your pantys in a bunch as always...!!!

lol this thread is full of WIN lol
i guess the OP could have grabbed a tape measure or ruler and found out for himself lol

 

lmfao...All this over door speaker size.. hahaI vote 6.5.thats whats in mine

 

well thanks for your help.now one more thing.when they jacked my speakers some how my heater wire cane out???? from the back by the fire wall.where does that go? thanks again

 

I didn't even think the hatches had rear speakers. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I know when I replaced the ones in the door they were 6.5, but I had troubles finding a set that would fit depth-wise. From what I've read, the '88-'91 hatches came with 5.25 and 6.5, either or, I would guess. Don't know how accurate the source is.

 

you really need to put the year,make and model of vehicle in your original post...!!!

 

On a CRX correct?

Hatchback rear speaker pods cannot fit 6.5" speakers.

 

Yesh crx w factory rear plates

 

6.5

 

man do you even have a hatch? i fit several pair of six and a halves in the stock, oem, tilted brittle plastic speaker mounts that are super rare to find (they were blue) in my g/f's old hatch. didnt' have to do ANY mods at all to get them to fit. what makes a speaker fit is the cage size and magnet size. some speakers are sold as a 6.5" speaker but are actually caged a size smaller. some are sold as 6.5" speakers and are actually larger than that. example. i have a pair of sony explode two way speakers that DO fit into the front stock speaker baskets with no mods. i also have a pair of jvc speakers that do NOT fit into the basket with out mods because the cage and the magnet are larger.

 

Pics of said speakers in the rear pods. i cannot even imagine how they could just "bolt in".

My 5.25's FILL the inner diameter of the pods(and no, the cages are not that bulky). not to mention the fact that i had to cut out the tray to fit the magnets.

I'm not trying to argue that 6.5's can't be used, im just saying that they are not stock size, at least on hatchbacks.

BTW DCRB... those pods arent too rare around our area. I've come across several, even a set with OEM 5 1/4's and the covers for them.
