fitting 6x9 speakers in the rear?

[lx-accord]

okay so i drive a lx (dx in the states) sedan and im trying to figure out if i can put 6x9 speakers in the rear ..... i remember reading somwhere on the fourm but cant find it anymore, somone got the pods from the ex and mounted them? .... i was trying it out last night i know for a fact im gonna need to cut some metal .... has anyone done or tryed this ... or even send me to the link where i think i read this?

the 6x9 pods from an ex accord, fit just like oem, just take the old ones out and put those in place. i havent tried it yet but this is what ur suppose to do I believe

[lx-accord]

yeah i know the pods would work, but are ppl cutting there rear mounts? .... the metal is blocking from the 6x9 to fit, the rears are suppose to be 6.5 ..... i dont wanna go ahead and cut and regret it later lol

the 6x9 pods raise the speaker up above the metal so you should have enough clearance provided your magnet or basket isnt too oversized. And if you do have to cut just dremel out what you need, its really thin back there.

[lx-accord]

i dont know but the sizes are diffrent from the 6.5 to the 6x9 ... im just gonna go ahead and cut the metal that blocks the 6x9's to fit into the oem mount ..... dremel you say?

I had an EX and all I did was remove the stock pods from the rear deck, fliped it oper and took out the screws and removed the face. removed the stock speakers and replaced them with Jensen 6x9 200w. the Jensen had 4 mountin holes but only 2 lined up with the stock mounting screws. They were opposite corners so it worked well. put everything back together and was done. Stock look, better sound.

yeah dremel with like a rotary file attachment (metal acorn looking thing, not the sandpaper finger file) you shouldnt need to cut out much. i had to do it for my components due to oversized baskets, i just used a pair of aviation snips, but iwouldnt recommend it cuz it sucks on your hand and you gotta smooth the edges anyways. just use a dremel.

thanx for the advice ... im gonna try it over the weekend

some accords have the 6.5" rear and some 6x9...get speaker pods from an accord with 6x9" and get it done, color the plastic with spray paint whatever color you want, I like to use krylon FUSION, it adheres nicely. 2 coats should do ya

93 Accord LXA
EX pod with MB Quart 6x9 speakers, no cutting, fits just like OEM!

The pods mount the same...no binding or hitting of any kind. I have 6x9's in my LX instead of 6 1/2's. Also, I got a set of the cheapo Lightning speakers from Wal-Mart and they fit ok. Didnt have to modify anything.
