will these fit?

Just need to know if i can install this in my LX sedan. according to the size and depth of the speakers, it seems like it should fit in my front doors but it is not listed as such according to crutchfield.

Yup..they will..but you'll most likely have to fabricate spacers to get em to fit right.Or buy the 1" Spacers from Scoche.

You can buy a 1'" thick 2'x4' piece of MDF from home depot for around 4 bucks. Just use a saw to cut the spacers and you are set. Won't even have to cut the sheet metal. Had to do it to fit my MB Quart QM216's in. Fit like a glove after mounting the spacer.

You don't need to cut the sheet metal if you use spacers. I, on the other hand, chose to cut the sheet metal to fit my
speakers. It was pretty fun with a dremel, and pretty painless. Not much to cut either!

Spacers are required so that you can still roll down your window [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

so i guess a good way to not having to use spacers is to get shallower speakers. also, where can i get those spacers by scoshe??

the shallowest speakers you can find will still rub..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] the OEM speakers have mini magnets and are built onto a 3/4" Spacer..
