Accord Front Speakers

[Calvo]

hey peeps,
just wondering if anyone kno's wat size the stock front speakers r on a 94 Accord Vti-S :D
also wat could fit (or wat u have fit) into the fronts, still usin the stock grills.

*looks at my man poid :P*

[poid]

5.25" are the stockies as far as i can remember...i have 7" dynaudios behind there now so anything smaller will fit no worries (as long as they arent too deep).

You also have a pair of tweeters at the base of the windscreen, which i didnt find out about till i owned the car for 6 months LoL ;)

[Calvo]

yeh, will i be able to fit any after market tweeters into them??
coz they look awfully tiny...

thanks poid :D

[poid]

havent really had a good look at em, they are tiny yeh. I just put mine in the doors since they are about twice the size LoL

Heya Calvo,

I've got 6.5 Clarion's in my front doors. didn't have a prob at all..

the tweeters with my splits didn't fit the stock location. (the possie poid mentioned) I ended up mounting them into that little triangle plastic thing that's on the inside of the side mirrors.

i've had no complaints, though the tweeters are quite bright.. :s

Anyone know the stock size of the rear speakers?

[fozee]

probably the usual 6x9s

[McChook]

if it is the same as the prelude, 6x9.... I would expect 5x8's

[Bol]

k thanks. I'd look but its too late, so ill check tomorrow just to make sure.

[JohnnyBoy]

sure is.. 6 x 9

Have no idea on 5th gen specs but:

6 inch factory holes front and rear on the shoebox model (4th gen). My Alpine splits and 6 inch coax dropped right in, noooo trouble.

[Calvo]

5th gens, 6x9s in the rear, fronts not exactly sure, but u can fit 6.5s with custom spacers. gotta be careful coz of the power windows, not much room for speakers with huge magnets, unless u wanna make some custom door pods :D

[McChook]

Stock is 6in, but I know on the prelude the bloody door pods are too shallow for anything decent, so cut them out. I have 6.5in's there now

[A'PEXi]

i had 6" as stock, but fitting 6.5" was no problem at all, straight swap.

[Calvo]

yeh the problem i had was finding decent 6.5in splits that would fit into the stock holes with stock covers...
and i only realised a few days (3days) prior to wen i was getting my stuff installed.
ended up gettin some clarion 6.5in splits, not too bad. not the best, but meh. im happy.

[poid]

i've had both 6.5" DDDrive and 7" dynaudios behind there without issues, you just have to try and find speakers with shallow ish magnets

[euro77]

Hertz makes shallow mounted speakers

[Bol]

Calvo,

What problems did you have? What's the max depth or size you can fit in there?

Can you recommend anyting specific?

thanks :)

[Calvo]

i actually never thought about it.
but 3 days before i was due for an install, i took my door apart to measure sizes. for some strange reason my window was also down, and i realised theres only a small gap between the spacers and the window wen its wound down. if i remember correctly, it was around 1in-1.5in between spacer and window. these rnt exact, but rough, u can prob check it out urself or ask for honda measurements.
so u gotta find speakers with a relatively shallow magnets, but thats only coz i insisted on using the standard speaker covers etc. u can go around this problem with custom door pods, but that costs $$ :D
u dont needa go awfully shallow, sumfin around 45mm-50mm. they can still fit, all u'll need is a custom spacer.
coz of the rush for me, i was limited to wat i could choose coz i was working and had no time to shop around. i ended up gettin Clarion SRS1624's (6.5in spilts). RRP for around $180, but u can get them alot cheaper. i believe some other nice, not over priced speakers that fit are the JVC CS-HS551's and CS-HS601's, which im told are very nice splits for wat u pay. there was also some alpines but i dunno the models.
prob best to ask someone with a little more audio knowledge than myself :D

hope ive been of assistance :P
