Really? So can 6.5 inch speaker fit into a 98 civic coupe?

[EK_coupe]

yep, i've got 6.5" on my coupe

[Alpine]

I believe so. I only got my stereo upgraded last week and fit 6.5" splits in the doors. The rears in the Coupe are 6x9s.

[sikcivic]

F@ck Yes!!!, Thanks Guys!

[R96P-EJ8]

Cool thanks guys :) And I got told that it won't fit. Pfft that guy was trying to rip me off! He said it'll cost a few hundered to get it to fit in.

[Alpine]

He said it'll cost a few hundered to get it to fit in.

That's a load of shit. He obviously knows nothing about Hondas.

are u sure 6.5? i had 6.5" and they didnt fit had to get new speakers 6" (del sol and civic coupe)

[armak81]

i had the same problem as Zelda... get the measuring tape out and confirm

[boost_morrre]

the 6.5 and 6' cutouts are almost identical, 6.5 just mostly come with bigger baskets and magnet, that's why they dont fit sometimes....depends on the pods ur mounting them into.

I got 6inch in mine and still had to cut the backing part fo the door panel off (pretty easy to do)..Make sure its not going to hit the window as well ;)

[Kit]

yeah i fitted 6 inch speakers into my EK.
and had to cut the plastic backing to make way for the magnet

[EK_coupe]

i've got the 6.5" JVC splits in the front and just went to measure the stock speaker and they're about 6.5" as well. Hope that helps

if u upgrade to a 2 way or 3way speaker for the front door,yes,u have to cut a bit plastic trim off

On My Coupe I had 6inch Pioneers in it and I had to cut out the bit of plastic shit at the back for my massive magnet! (It was about 3mm from the window when winded down!) But I think 6.5 Will Fit! It might just need a little DIY spacer and a bit of jigsaw action.

[z3lda]

how did u guys cut the plaster bit at the back of the speaker holder in the front? its hard as a rock.! i had to use a hammer and smash the mfkn thing!

tin snips made light work of my door trim

i fitted 6.5" jaycar kevlar splits in EK sedan yesterday but was the biggest pain in the ass. took me all arvo and had to cut the hole to pieces. in now though but not too flush... sound awesome but :D

The standard speaker holes are for 5" but with very little work 6" go in there but do require some work with the dremil tool. I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to squeeze 6.5" in there but I don’t know if the standard speaker grill would fit with the standard clips on it. The clips came quite close with the 6" speakers I put in my doors

[vtc]

i use to have 6.5" focal splits in my ek hatch.. they were abit too deep so i got some custom pods built using the original grills.. if anyone wants it im willing to swap with orginal grills!

[sikcivic]

Yeh i just installed my Kicker 6.5inch in my EK 4 door, jesus christ %100 percent improvement over stock speakers, also sound deaded both doors which also makes a world of difference, not just in stereo, but when you open and close your door.

My old philips 6.5 inch splits wouldn't fit in my front doors (EK4 Hatch), the holes appeared to be 6". Definately not 5 1/4, mounting holes are in the wrong position.

[VTEC16]

I installed JL 6" woofers into my EK4 - also had to cut the backing - but the diameter of the mounting plate was perfect.

[ek]

6" Clarion splits went into the front doors of my EK hatch.

And as a million of other people of said, just had to cut away the plastic on the door trim. I just used a hacksaw :)
