Changing out rear speakers

[ciscotech]

I have been considering this for a while. I was wondering if anyone else has done this.

I replaced the factories a few years back with the same size. However the last few years I have been thinking off and on going with 6x9s. I already have them from another car I used to own. Has anyone else done this yet?

Everyone and their mom has already swapped their rear speakers.

If you have an LX, you have 6.5 rear speaker pods. EX and SE models have 6x9 rear pods. To install 6x9 speakers, if you don't already have an EX or SE model, all you have to do is find a pair of 6x9 speaker pods. They bolt right up onto the rear deck.

If you have a DX, you won't have speakers in the rear from the factory, and you must cut into the rear deck to install speakers (and speaker pods).

thx, I have the LX and will go out hunting for the 6x9 pods!

you can also just modify the ones you have its not that hard just have to make sure to line it up right so that the magmet sits in the right spot.

the holes for the rear speakers arent that big you would have to cut the holes bigger but than you also run into the issue of the depth of the speakers as well because i tried and the backs of the speakers were hitting my trunk rod...

Ok dude I understand the 6x9's but I have to ask, why exactly did you mount the amp on the rear deck as well And are your RCA's run through the key hole?? I was staring at this picture for a while and an idea popped into my head. Just a suggestion but what do you think of getting a piece of like 1/4" hardboard and cutting it around your speaker pods, 6x9's and amp and maybe applying a thin carpeting with some spray adhesive and dropping it in to cover everything else up?? I know this is kind of random but I thought of it so I figured I would ask Anyhoo I still like the set up and I bet it sounds pretty damn good

Damn , I knew I shoulda waited long enough for somebody to buy mine. But no I threw them away. Stacked for a year and I ran out of patience.
