I have a new 07 Si sedan with the 350 watt premium stereo. Do you think different speakers will improve the sound/volume?
How efficient are the stock speakers? If I upgrade to Polks, JBL's, etc will it be worth spending the extra cash. Also the subs magnet looks pretty big, would it be worth changing that. I have the $$$ to do this but not sure if it will improve the sound. I don't want to buy new speakers and find out the factory speakers are very efficient and sound louder.
Thanks for any info. Jeff
I instead of jbl or polks speaker wise i would go with infinity's. JBL makes great subs and amps but infinity will make a better speaker. They are the same company under Harman International.

never mind. i jus figured out that the magnet on the 6 1/2" i have is too big. lmao. well im learnin. lol
cut out the back of the factory mounting bracket... that's what I had to do for the 6-1/2" in my 2dr...
pretty simple, it's because the stock speakers are shallow mount
i think most are 6-1/2" front 6x9 rears in the coupes?
6.5" front 5.25" rear in 93 EX Coupe

Great guide - just one quick question though. I know I have 6x9s in the rear deck in my 2002 LX coupe, but when searching for speakers on Crutchfield, they suggest 5 1/4" speakers for the rear deck... Very strange. Crutchfield recognizes that the car uses 6x9s in the back, but says all of their 6x9 speakers won`t fit. Is it just a matter of some modification? Or will most 6x9s truly not fit? I just got the car and one of the factory rears is completely blown out. I just want to put a nice pair of 3 way 6x9s in, is this possible?
Thanks. I hope this isn`t a re-post - tried searching and didn`t find any matches.
Cheers.
<EDIT> Sorry, I should also probably mention the speakers I am looking at - Alpine SPS-6963s. I'm not looking to go too crazy with the speakers; just something with decent fidelity to replace a blown 6x9 in the back.</EDIT>
<ANOTHER EDIT>Hey, apparently I didn't search thoroughly enough the first time. This has already been answered in a previous post: http://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_74121/tm.htm . For all of those keeping score, apparently Crutchfield is a bit off on this one. There's plenty of room in the trunk for 6x9 depth; I'm going to go ahead and order. </ANOTHER EDIT>

BEWARE WITH 93 COUPES!!! The rear SAYS it is 5.25" but the mounting on the factory speaker itself is a little bigger, and it is too small for a 6.5"
When I installed my 5.25" in the back I had to drill one hole through the metal where i was mounting it. I also didn't use the mounting cup thing, I recommend laying down some sound foam around the speaker when you install it.
