what would be a good replacement for the stock door (6x9?) speakers? i have the stock cd player and just want a good pair of speakers, because i think one of them are blown. i don't plan on buying anything else like amps, tweeters, etc... i just want to pop them in and be done with.

First mod I did was replace just the speakers. I got some infinity reference and they sounded great even with the stock deck. Everyone could tell the difference.

Alpine TypeS will clip into place AND the tweeter is the same .75" diameter with a rear screw mount. It was born for a Civic, and my Alpine rep confirmed that.

How much are you looking to spend? Do you want coaxial or component?

what are the advantages/disadvantages between the two, and what are in our civics?

 
Rep Power: 328

Find something with a low rms rating, or find a wrecked civic and buy one out of there. I still have my stocks somewhere. If I can find them you can have them for $5 plus shipping. ($5 to cover me packing them so they don't get thrashed by the shatty **** postal cervix)

Coaxials have the tweeter on the midbass unit, components have separate parts and usually a crossover. Good components sometimes need more power to get going.

EX coupes have components, the tweeter is in the sail panel in the door. If you have one, it might be better to get some components, otherwise, i'd advise getting some efficient coaxials.

If you're not amping them, don't spend a whole lot of money on a component set, or coax. You'll be wasting your money as you won't get their potential out of them. I'd replace with stock, or something similar to stock, as you're gonna get about 12 watts rms off the stock deck per speaker. The components/coax's will be severely underpowered. Just get some cheap speakers to replace them or find a wrecked civic and use the speakers out of it.

I dont know on how you take ur music. I went with infinity references and they sound great vivid and rich sound with decent kick, im building a infinity system just cause of those 6x9's . o yah their pretty cheap too only 99 bucks at Circuit city. 149 for rear deck.

 
Rep Power: 811

Agreed. Although my 6.5 inch infinity all around (sedan) don't have much bass.

so the 6 x 9 alpine type s fit fine , what about the fronts? i heard they needed mofication due to the depth, just asking cause i will probaly be getting alpine 9831 pretty soon . thanks

Not modifcation, just a spacer. You can make one or buy one.

 
Rep Power: 383

awesoome so glad to hear it, what kind of spacer is needed for the fronts? like waht size?

 
Rep Power: 0

get kappas. they are nice if properly tuned.

 
Rep Power: 328

The easiest thing to do for a spacer is cut one out of mdf. Material will cost you about $2.00.

which apline type s model are you talking about? did you need to modify yours with a spacer? i was looking and crutchfield says they wont fit. did you go witha a 6 1/2? i got an alpine deck that i want to hook em up to. let me know. thanks

I think the new Alpine S, 6.5" come with a spacer specifically for our car...I could be wrong but I think Im right...

also, I amazed, I've had my stock speakers amped w/ my Alpine MRV-540 with the gains at a little over 0 and they still have not blown...and I get them to go loud sometimes

since the beginning of July...

yeah i just got some and they have an oem adapter. perfect fit.

i hear that the Infinity Kappa speakers r really nice. dont know if its true though. thats what my friend has in his and he loves them.

 
Rep Power: 0

how do those type s sound????

 
Rep Power: 276

a hell of a lot better than stock thats for sure. right now i dont have an amp so im just runnin them off my hu. the woofers hit pretty hard for the amount of power they get. its alot more clear than the stock pioneers. cant wait to get an amp for em though. i got a 12 inch sub in the trunk and they compliment it perfectly. i bought em on ebay new for 99.95 + shipping so they were like half price. great speakers for the price. im sure i could get some that are better and spend 3 times as much, but these fit perfectly and i cant really tell a difference between them and my friends type r.

I run infinity reference speakers and they are great. Really hold a quality sound even at a constant loud. Not much kick in 'em but my two 12"s take over that. They fit right into everything with no adapters too. Well mine did but who knows how badly I messed up on the install...but they still sound great!

if ur looking for a good sound, ive heard that the infinity kappas aere prettyd sweet. idk this from personal hearing but my buddy got all new speakers in his and he loves the kappa line. he got a HU and (2)6x9 and (2)6 1/2s for i think he said $550 att cardomain. he said he saver about $200 by doin it that way and plus they give you install instructions which is a nice bonus that best buy or some other place doesnt offer.

crutchfield sometimes will offer package deals like that and they send you the master sheet too. i downloaded it to my computer after i placed an order. it tells you how to put in the HU, door speakers, and the rear deck removal for those speakers too. its pretty nice, if anyone wants it i can email it to you, just let me know.

Why does the Alpine site have 5 1/4" for the front speakers?

 
Rep Power: 0

Hi, I am going to get these Alpine Type S components and would like to install them myself. Where's a good location to mount the cross-over and how much new speaker wire did you have to run? Thanks.

 
Rep Power: 276

i mounted mine to the door frame right below where the arm rest on the door panels are. it left some good clearance. since i am plugging mine into the hu until i get an amp for them i bought the adapters from crutchfield for like 12.99 and plugged those into the factory wires. then i ran that to the crossover. i probably used about 3-4 feet of wire total. wire is cheap.
