hi, im very new to the forum but, i have a 2002 civic ex. well i just went through the labor of installing a new cd player and subs.

but now im about to install speakers to the front and rear, so im wondering.

1) what size are the speakers in the front???? and back????

2) what the best place to get speakers???

BTW Crutchfield says that they dont have speakers that fit my car.

thanks

You'll see why they are needed when you pull apart the door skin. Honda's stock speakers are mounted on a weird harness, its got a weird shape and a really tiny magnet. The hole in the door where these fit has been cut to fit these tiny magnets. The magnets of normal aftermarket speakers wont fit into these little things. Using a spacer, which is like a ring, this can easily be remedied.

WATCH OUT!!!! I fell victim to misinformation when I first purchaced my speakers w/o actually looking in the car for what speakers i had.

I went to Best Buy and their lil computer thing said I had 6x9's in the back... wrong. I went to ikesound.com and bought some kappa perfect 6x9's then when i got them i took off the rear dash to install them.

long story short.

i had 6.5"s in the doors and the rear dash [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

turns out that coupes have 6x9s in the rear but the sedans have 6.5's [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

Yes u need the spacer in order to keep the window from hitting the back of the speaker......i think i have a few left at work if u don't feel like cutting a pair out yourself u can have....

Sedans have 6.5's front and back.. Coupes have 6.5's in the front.. 6x9's in the rear.. for coupes you need shallow mount 6x9's with smaller sized magnets to clear the trunk springs.. for the front speakers you'll need some hefty spacers to fit aftermarket speakers.
