OMG my speakers WONT FIT!!!

[bitlord]

Heres my predicament ive recently purchased 2 sets of 6.5 speakers to put into my car (1990 Honda Accord LX) . I removed all the door panels and everything, excited to make the switch when to my disbeleif i found out that the mounting depth is too deep for my fronts!! The two sets of speakers i have are the CDT cl-63 (http://www.cdtaudio.com/drivers_overview.htm) and the Rockford fosgate T162C (http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/produ...n_US&p_status=)

I was wondering if there is any way i could put these in (whichever one is easier to put in the front) like speakers brackets or kick panels.

Please help....there are no speakers in my car and it pains me!!!

When you take out the CDT's look at the speaker pod, the black bucket that the speaker scews onto.

Next take out the pod and cut the rear of the pod out. that way the speaker will fit with no problems.

are you sure it wont hit my window when it is rolled down?

[bitlord]

Also i doubt it will actually fit into the pod......the diameter seems a little too big for it

I've got the same Fosgate speaker's you've got in my front doors and the space is TIGHT. I had to completely get rid of the plastic pods and then I used some MDF to make a mounting ring to get the speaker to sit far enough up to let the window clear. If you take this route I would suggest a pair of speaker baffles so they don't get wet. As for clearance, when I roll my windows down, they rub the back of the baffles, but it hasn't hurt anything.....yet

so did you require drilling into metal?

[Fatty2Phat]

yep get the LX Rings.

[bitlord]

where can i get the rings from?

[LinX]

dealer, junkyard, or go on the for sale section and look for part outs. You could PM sellers and ask them whats up.

buy qform kickpanels!!!!!!!! FTMFW

[all stock honda]

if the mount is to deep, you could always put something behind it. thats what my friend did to his 90 accord lx

[bitlord]

oh really? hmmmm do you have any pics of that.....cause i dont wanna spend any more money on a kick panel or anything.
