will these fit?

[sexsiangel]

i've got a 92 LX and i've checked the size chart and i want to put these speakers in the rear, Soundstream XTS6.5 - Soundstream 6.5" Xstream Series Speakers. My friend says they are too tall, i think he's off his rocker. the chart says 6.5 and i find 6.5's, how can they be too tall? who's right?

The only problem you may find is that the tweeter (if any) would stick out far enough to cause a problem when re-installing the door panel

[sexsiangel]

these wont be going in the door panel, but in the rear deck...

i got components in the rear deck of my 93 lx and what your friend might be talking about is how far down the magnent falls into the trunk, cuz it could interfere with the trunk lid brace. My audiobahn's baskets hit so i made a spacer out of MDF and lifted them till they fit. only bad thing was i cant put the stock grilels back on but it doesnt bother me.

ya i was thinking if there was a problem with the speaker covers fitting than i wouldn't put them back on, i've got tinted windows anyways lol

[lokuputha]

they might not fit with the rear speaker pod cover on...

other than that...try fitting them on...best way to find out.


oh btw, check out the Toronto CB7tuner meet:

You mean the shallowness of the speakers and not the length?

soundstream

hey dude

i got some 85 watt RMS soundstream speakers in the back of mine under the speaker covers and they went in in about 2 minutes flat. By 'too tall' you mate means how deep the speaker is, that is, from the bottom of the magnet to the tip of the actual speaker. In this case, how deep the magnet is doesnt matter because it will just hang into boot space anyways. Just thread the new speaker cable in and screw them into the holder. They fit because you dont need to put the spider bit on top, if you get that in the states. Down under we get an extra spider cover thingo and as long as you leave that off you should be fine. It wont make any difference anyways coz you wont be able to see them under the cover. Hope this helps.

I had a problem with my 6x9s hitting the lil bar in the trunk..so i got my dremel and cut off just a small piece of the bar where it was hitting..didnt hurt anything and the speakers now fit like OEM

You should not have any problems with 6.5'' in the rear deck, as far as hitting the trunk helper spring thingy. With my old set of speakers the tweeter stuck out too much, so I cut the plastic support out in the middle and the speaker stretched the fabric to fit, and stayed stealth.

[sexsiangel]

well i figured they would fit cuz thats wat the chart says and if i didnt have tinted windows i'd fabricate it so the speaker cover wouldnt hit anything.

these speakers are good right? for 150 rms 3 way speakers?

and i'm no dude if u were referring to me, vinnie lol

ok first off... charts dont mean jack when it comes to installing speakers. its all based on the cars. it may say it fits 6.5" speakers. buuut that doesnt tell you mounting depth, how high a tweet may sit above the speaker. sometimes 6.5" speakers arent even true 6.5" speakers.

my recommendation is to just get speakers you know will fit. if your looking for quality sound, but not high end, get some alpine type s, or some pioneers... they are relatively cheap and ok sounding.

but in answer to ur question, those r good speakers.. i prefer alpine myself.

dont think im tryin to flame u, but i deal with this type of stuff all day at work, and my first instinct is to just put what fits unless ur able to make it fit and not look like crap.

True that bro..I had the same problem..Did the same thing you did but know i got to make my holes bigger so the fit in there good

X2...its a lot easier and more subtle to get direct fit speakers.

I've put in Clarion Pro-Audio speakers 6.5"...the woofers will fit right in... no issues with clearance....they are clean sounding
