Front door speakers

[lsn92ex]

I'm in the market for good speakers for the front door that have an RMS of at least 52 watts.

unfortunately, we are limited to the polk db 501's which are only five inches and 42 watts....

has anyone been able to put a bigger speaker in the doors without much modification?

LX pods

I'm assuming you have an EX Coupe. Remove the factory plastic pod the front door speaker mounts to and you can install any 6½" speaker your heart could possibly desire. Problem solved.

I tried putting some pioneer 6.5 in the doors of my coupe and the magnets were too deep and i couldnt put my windows down all the way.

screw pods, either buy spacers at a local stereo shop, or best buy or circuit city or whatever. or be a true diy'r and cut out a ring of mdf and make your own spacers.

as far as factory audio equipment goes... it sucks, everything about it. theres some factory systems that are absolutely amazing. but for the most part, even the premium systems are crap in most all cars.

yeah, i've already bought a new Sony gt410u head unit. so now im looking for nice speakers to compliment it.

i think ill goto the junk yard to find some LX pods or something.

i'd like to get sony speakers to match my sony system, but my friend bought some polk speakers for his civic and i have to say those things sound pretty damn good.

he also has an alpine head unit in which he knows his way around the audio settings... but still, polk is known to be the best sound for the money

dont waste your time at the junk yard, mount it on your door directly. those pods are already where they should be, at the junk yard.

sony is alright not one of my personal faves, and polk is good, but not the best. there is not really a best, it comes down to each individual listeners prefrence.
