First question. I've googled for about an hour, and 50% of what I've read say that the stock speaker size is 5.25... the other half say it's 6.5. I'm hoping to figure out once and for all which one is it?

Second question. The aftermarket speakers I pulled out of my doors were 6.5, but they were too deep and had rubbed the tint off the glass from when they were rolled down. Does this mean that 6.5 isn't the stock size? Or that you just have to make sure your aftermarkets are shallow mount only?

 

5.25 is the stock size. Even though they are set up for bigger speakers. The same way 6.5 in rear but set IP for 6x9s. Good ol' Honda, leaving room for change.

 

I have 6.5 JVC in the front, you just gotta watch the mounting depth as big magnets hit the windows

 

Yeah, you're fine with 6.5 all the way around.

What's your speaker budget?

I'd do components in the front and a matching set of coaxials in the rear.

 

My budget isn't a huge issue per say... I'm mainly just going for a better than stock sound. (Not an award winning sound setup or anything.)

Does anyone know the measurement of the maximum depth speaker the front doors will accept without hitting glass?

(Not looking to modify the stock bracket or speaker cover panels anything.)

 

I installed 6.5 in the rear of my 89 CRX but I had to take a grinder to the mounting brackets. I needed to make the main big center hole larger.

For the fronts, you can fit a shallow set of 6.5.

 

this got my head scratching cause back when I bought a replacement speaker all around 6.5 I have trouble fitting the rear, I have to take out the grinder to grind some material off the mounting bracket just to get the speaker in. I have the '91 CRX.
