6.5inch speakers in front door question

[TdotWarrior]

since most 6.5 inch speakers cannot fit in my 87ex-i because the backing is to big... has anywon tried to "shave" or sand the original speaker fitment in the front doors to make it fit? ... the magnet part is like an inch too big for the slot i was just wondering if anywon has removed the stock holders for the speakers ... and if they did, does it interfere with your window now when u wind it down?

[EX-ileAccord]

you dont need to cut the back out, just use different brackets to hold the speaker in the housing. Thats what I did and it works awesome. Theres enuff room in the cover for the speaker to extend out a little bit, Its better to go out then in so you don't hit the window

[ghettogeddy]

well other than the way he said all u have to is cut the baskit and make the mount a smooth ring the attach them if ur woried about clerence u can put 5 1/4's in the same mount thats what i have

those are the spacers u would need if u need them

My advise: Polk Audio Db6500 component speakers. They fit, no mods required and sound superb. 100 watts rms, 300 peak. Stuff the crossover up into the front of the door, mount the tweeters in the sail panel or the defrost vent.

ya i have polk audio db 5 1/4's they sound awsome even on the stock prelude deck im using know but they had an awsome sound to them when i had them hooked up to my audiobahn a4004t

:lol:

It's too late now.

Why didn't you buy a speaker that fits???

There's a ton of threads on cutting out the back of the plastic speaker bracket, but judging by the picture you posted, that's not gonna be enough in your case.

This sounds like you typical "I bought these speakers on ebay, and they don't fit" thread.

Peace.

[chainz]

IMO best place to look is http://www.crutchfield.com They will show you exactly what fits with no mods required. You can buy the speakers from elsewhere and get better prices than crutchfield but their service is A+++.
I bought some Pioneer 6.5in speakers off them for my fronts and they fit perfect.

[doot89accord]

i got some jvc's that fit right in perfect, i think i paid like 40$, don't let the size of the magnet fool you, no big name=sh!t quality. or you could just smash the factory mount with a hammer, 'tis what my buddy did in his 91 civic and that worked too

[88accordhb]

i cut the speaker basket's bottom and spacered it with the speaker so that the window will clear when rolled down. i choose the shortest profile speakers i could find, infinity references

[halxi]

i had a 6.5" speaker that was 6" deep fit in my car, and it was even BEHIND the factory cover.

custom brackets ftw.

Do i have a write up, no.
Even if i did i wouldnt give it to you after the lip you gave thewatcher
