I got component speakers for my car but not sure where to put them. I want to keep my current stock front door speakers for now, and don't want to pay for kick panel pods. Thinking about putting the woofers on the front doors, on the opposite end of the front door speakers.

On here it'd be on the bottom left.


Just to show what it looks like with the door closed.


Good idea? or bad?

 

this is what i did...99 Civic LX, so pretty much the same

I used oversized components for my front of my 96 civic lx, so I took the speaker grill off and fabricated it to fit the 6.75" speakers. You could always do something like that.

here's a pic:

 

i like the idea..i was considering doing the same thing to my front doors

 

Could always look for a crashed EX at the junkyard and use their tweeter pods:


I just cheated and used a woofer that fit the stock location:


The setup in the photos above consists of a CDT TW-25 tweeter with a SPR-17s 6.5" woofer.

 

But if you do that, you lose the **** for your mirror's adjustment. I suppose you can just do it my moving the actual mirror.

 

unless you have power mirrors what kind of speaker is that with the custom pod? also ive got tweeter pods for a 2door if someone wants some i'll part withem cheap

 

Polk Audio SR6500

 

Holy ****! $800? That's insane IMO. I spent $750 on my entire sound system for the car (4 speakers/2 tweeters, DD headunit, 5 Channel amp, 10" sub, and then wiring.)

I can think of at least 8 other things to do with $800. Those set-ups better be god's gift to our ears for that price.

 

hey, they cost 1k when they first came out!

haha, everyone always seems to have something to say about that. I'm a bit of an audio nut, even at home:



But they're great speakers, really. the tweeter has an unbelievable amount of detail and isn't harsh at all. In all honesty, one of the smoothest tweeters I've ever heard. The mids are also nice and punchy. Matches well with the sr subs. I'm glad I got them and I'd buy them again if I had to. Here's a vid. Trust me it doesn't exactly do them justice:
