Default How to tell about speakers

I was wondering how I can find out what speakers (6x9) that fit in my honda, is there a certain type of 6x9's that I have to use?

most all 6x9's will fit depending upon how much mounting depth you can have. more than likely its in the back and more than likely you have all the room you can get, so ALMOST ALL will fit. good name brands should fit perfectly fine.

Look what kind of speaker does your car have now, if it has 6x9" it will fit fine.
my Accord LX used to have 5 1/2" round speakers rear, but I change them for 6x9" The opening in the car was larger than speakers and holes didn´t fit so I made an "adapter support plate" out of a pice of metal ( i used an outside cover of and old pc). I used the speaker cardboard to draw the speaker and cut the metal. I did the job myself cause i couldn´t find a place that sells the adapter and i don't let other people touch my car . But if you know a place or if they can install them for you it will be much simpler. There is enough room for the speaker and those are fine, I have the same ones

yes they will fit.

6x9 are 6x9's , they all fit. sometimes the thickness is a bit bigger, but in the back its never a problem.

http://www.crutchfield.com

You can search by car, and they have levels of difficulty for installation. Plus if you buy from them (though they are more expensive) youll get everything you need for the install.

But, Crutchfield elimates a lot of the 6x9s, and they said above that pretty much all 6x9s will fit.

What car do you have? what speaker does it have (size)? if it has 6 1/2" they won't fit and you will need a different adapter if your car is an accord 94-97

some 6x9's may not fit because the separate tweeters for mid and high range may not fit under the trim piece.

magnet size, tweeter location have a lot to do with how they fit. they could be deep and not enough room. Crutchfield is a good guide for that. If it says Easy installation, theyll just drop in with no problems...

first you need to make clear what year and model car it is, then use crutchfield as a guide, they usually know what it is they're talking about, then see exactly from their what speakers you can use, and if you can, go elsewhere and find the same speakers but cheaper, its all possible, just make sure you get whats meant to fit your car!
