Ok on the vtec model theres a 6x9 speaker between the rear seats... Was this just a random extra speaker? Or was it a factory sub? My stereo is 90% stock and I need to upgrade speakers because they're starting to pop and crackle. Manufacturers make 8, 10, and 12 inch subs... (not 6x9, right?) So I'm thinking about fabricating a bracket to fit an 8" behind the original 6x9 opening. Is there anyone that's already tried this? Or anyone that knows enough about stereos to tell me if this would be worth trying? I really don't know much about car audio. I know a lot of people box their subs and leave em in the trunk. But I'm not looking for a whole buncha bass and I think it would make for a clean look in the trunk (minus the back of the sub on the back of the seat) and wouldnt take up much space. Other suggestions welcome. Thanks.

 

yeah its a factory 6x9 woofer, it isn't even clasified as a subwoofer i don't belive..

but that speaker is powerd buy an amp under the speaker.. i would think someone must make 6x9 woofers for replacement,.

 

Its only in the Vtec models? I have one in mine and its an SI.

 

Its only for the vtec models. You can always get the part and put it in yr si though. you can buy a replacement sub from Kenwood I believe. but they dont make them anymore. Ive heard of people getting them from ebay though. do a search in Preludes for your answer. Its been discussed before.

 

Kicker used to make nice mid-bass 6x9's back in the day. They no longer do now. That was the speaker of choice for that speaker location.

 

Some Si's had the rear speaker in between the seats.

Just to give you some perspective, the following picture is a 6.5" subwoofer, so you are going to have a tough time craming an 8" in there. The enclosure is about .15 cubic feet and is made of fiberglass on the rear. It sounded alright, but I soon after upgraded to a 10" sub running 450 watts in the trunk. I built it more as a project that I knew I would turn around and sell, just something fun to occupy my time and test my fabrication skills.

 

wow.. clean.
