What the heck?

[absolute8705]

I just bought 6.5 all around because i read they would work but the pods are to small. is there anyway to get a bigger pod and where? or can a 1993 accord lx coupe fit 6.5 speakers?

[cp[mike]]

are you talking about the front or rear? the LX should have ~6.25 all around where the EX had 5" front and 6x9" rear...

the thing about the 6.5" speakers, especially in the rear, is that they are SLIGHTLY too big... you need to crank the screws in a little crooked.... using only 3 of the original screws and 1 more wood screw (more forgiving when installing at an angle) helps...

but yeah 6.5"s should fit, i have four of them in my car...

does it matter if its a lx coupe and i'm talking bout the front i didnt try the back yet

[cp[mike]]

well they SHOULD be 6.5"... they wont fit directly into the door itself, there should be a plastic ring that the original speaker was mounted to, which kind of "upsizes" the hole to fit the larger speaker, and also has the proper mounting tabs...

I'm lost. So many different answered for size of speaker from all my reading.

EX: 5.25" front
LX, DX: 6.25" front

All: 6"x9" back

1.) you can put 6.5" in the back of all, it's just "snug".
2.) you can get LX/DX pods for the fronts of an EX and fit 6.5 "snugly".

Good info. Lord knows I need some new audio components. My original tape player and blown speakers just ain't doin' the job noe moe.

only change i would like to add to the above is not ALL cbs came with 6x9s in the rear - only the EXs did.

EX: 5.25 front / 6x9 rear
DX/LX: 6.5 front/rear

Some DX's didn't even have rear speakers.

remove the front 5.25 pods and you have 6.5s tho.. and with a baffle the rears can be converted to 6.5". better sound if your going to have a sub than running 6x9s (yuck!)

Just to be certain on a EX all you have to do to fit 6.5" speakers in the front doors is remove the pods and the 6.5's will bolt right up?

LOL....I remember those days........well, years ago. If I sell my car, and the new owner does not want the factory speakers that are in there, I will be sure to shoot them your way dude.
