I have a 96 civic dx sedan. I tried to install some 6 1/2" speakers into my front doors, but they are way to big. I've done a few searches, but couldn't find the exact size speakers that go in the front and rear of my car. If someone could tell me the sizes, it would be appreciated.

 

6.5 ,6 1/2, somebody corret me but i think you had the right size, they are a little rough to get in sometimes. check and make sure they arent too deep.

you must have missed that sticky.

 

i actually checked out those sites but they said front was 6.5" and there's no way to fit the 6.5's i have into my front doors w/o cutting them up.

 

yea you will have to get something and make the whole bigger. a dremel should work just fine.

 

well, i put the 6.5's in there (cut out most of the space) but they are extremely tight and so they keep grounding out. also, i cant get the stock speaker grills on. i'd like to start over with some different speakers. would i have to buy the whole door panal or just the part with the speaker if i wanted to replace it?

 

Why would they change the speaker size in the 96-00's? my 93 hatch has 6 1/2" in the front doors

 

my friend has a 98 lx sedan and we replaced his with 6.5's and they fit like a glove, you must not be installing them correctly

 

I was checking this out last month sometime, on crutchfield, since its the easiest site to get some quick info from.

I noticed that even though they offer X amount of 6.5 choices, only 2 or 3 models showed up in my vehicle specific search. Some of the 2 and 3 way speakers have that massive tweeter section that could make it hard to get the factory cover back on, which is why I was guessing those were excluded from the search.

As for the depth and size of the hole, It should fit somehow. I haven't physically taken mine out yet to look, speakers are number 5 on my list of things to do. The only other option that I can see would be a
5 &1/4 inch speaker, but this may be too small to fit if you have cut some stuff out.

 

the magnet and tweeters are bigger than most w/the 6.5's i have. i'm going to a wreak yard tomorrow to get a fender (i bought the car w/the left fender dented) and i might get the speaker pannals if they are cheap. how much should i be paying for a fender?
