hey guys idk if this question is relevant to the topics discussed here but i have a problem. everywhere i have looked it says i can fit 6x9 speakers in my rear deck. problem is there is a bracket currently holding in a 6 1/2 inch speaker. i have a lx version and i know for a fact the ex or dx does have 6x9's. so it looks like the bracket can be unbolted and then a 6x9 would be able to drop in. now once the bracket is removed what would the speaker screw into? if anyone has some information on this i would really appreciate it.

 

EX has 6x9.

Use Crutchfield to determine what speakers you need. If you want to upgrade to 6x9 I can tell you there's no additional bracket they fit into, but I'm unsure if you have holes for it already.

 

yeah there should be holes in the cut out for it already... my lx has 6x9

 

yea i called crutchfield and they said 6 1/2 only but ppl on other sites said 6x9's can fit.

h22 what did you do with that bracket? just unbolt it and remove it?

 

i didnt have a bracket... i just took it out and swapped them in...

 

can you take pictures to show what your talking about

 

my car has a metal bracket that bolts into the rear deck with 4 bolts, then the 6x9 bolts to it...the holes are already cut though, but they are big enough without the brackets that the speaker would probably fall thru...oh, its a 1995 ex

 

ejvtec thats what mine has only a 6 1/2 can fit. ebay sells 6x9 adapters i guess i might have to get those.

and h22 i dont think i have picture posting privliges cause im new...or is that only in certain forum areas? anyways ill try to upload a pic

 

heres a pic of what im talking about...hopefully the attachment thing worked.

and those are not my speakers haha its a pic from that adapter company on ebay showing the original bracket

 

hmmm thats kinda ackward looking.. looks nothing like mine... well how about you just get the 6x9's and put them in place to see how they sit..

 

yea im gonna do that today. worst case scenario i buy the adapters. thanks everyone for your help

 

Simply cut a 1/4" piece of mdf to copy the metal part. Then cut a hole for the 6X9 using the cardboard template supplied with the new speakers.
