I'm looking at replacing my doors speakers this week. Anything beats the oem speakers.

What are guys using for door speakers? I'm working on my 90 Civic Sedan. It's listed as 6 1/2's, but every site also says 5 1/4's will fit. I'm at work other wise I'd go look right now.

I've already got a pair of 6 1/2's in my basket (shopping online as I type) for my rear deck speakers, just needed that extra assurance for the doors.

Thanks HT-ers.

 

A standered 6.1/2 will fit your doors. You can also use a 5.1/4 speaker too. Use the 6.1/2 and your good to go.

becareful what you purchase. actual 6.5"s dont fit hondas. you need 6"s
if you want a good set of drop in speakers, boston acoustic makes a a Honda specific 6" they are a direct fit.

I've had in 5 1/4 xplods, 6 1/2 xplods, and 6 1/2 pioneers.
I've never had trouble fitting 6 1/2s.

 

A MDF mounting ring will make a world of a difference as well!

 

I always got away with air sawing the plastic basket a little to make em fit. Just make sure the depth don't come close to the window.

I like those Boston's... Have you hear a pair of them? What are they comparative too? Also, I was unsure when looking, but do they have Components to match well with those coaxial??

 

As mentioned, you can use 5.25" speakers. [although you may need a gasket to get a seal, depends on brand] or you can use a standard 6.5", [not to be confused with the over-sized 6.5"] your stock speaker is a standard 6.5" with a 2" mounting depth.
The main diff. between standard 6.5" and over-sized 6.5" speakers is the mounting hole diameter, the standard 6.5" uses a 5" diameter mounting hole, the over-sized 6.5" uses a bigger then 5" diameter mounting hole and the size depends on the brand and even the model of a brand.

EG; the Alpine SPR-17C... http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-e...R-17C is called a 6.5" coax, but it needs a 5-5/16" mounting hole...
The Alpine SPS-17C2... http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-e...-17C2 also called a 6.5" coax, but needs a 5-39/64" mounting hole....
The Alpine SPS-M600... http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-e...-M600 also called a 6.5" coax, but it is a standard 6.5" speakers and needs a 5" mounting hole.

The other issue is mounting depth, as mentioned, stock is 2" or less.

There are ways "around" all the above, also as mentioned MDF "rings", [adapters] will give you and extra 3/4" - 1" mounting depth, cutting a hole for the speaker magnet will get you another 1/2" - 3/4" of mounting depth.

The MDF adapter ring can also be used to install an over-sized 6.5" speaker into the standard 6.5" OEM speaker housing.

So the question is, what 6.5" speakers did you order????? 94

 

^^^ amen

 

i had pioneers 5 1/4 and jl audio 6 1/2

Kenwood KFC-1651S

They were $25 a pair new. Pretty much a upgraded oem style speaker.

This is just my 'park & ride' car. The factory speakers crackeled with the volume at 2. Just gets worse with any adjustments made.

I just got a new Kenwood KDC-135 deck for $70. I only need to get to 12 on volume, so no big bump needed.

 

They will fit without any mods, you will even find 3 holes that line up with stock mounting holes. 94
