They don't fit!

[pax217]

Hey all, I've got a 93 ex accord, and i was told that there are 5.25in speakers in the front. so i bought some phenoix golds to put in there, and they don't fit! i dunno what to do, let me know some ideas. they don't fit in around at all.

OK, break out ur handy dandy dremel and trim the hole out alittle r get u some 92/93 lx speaker molds and move up to some 6.5 they will fit fine thats what i did on my 93 se and my 92 ex coupe.and i changed out my 93 10th annv. speakers 2 it come 6.5 from the factory.

[Smiley_cb7]

You have 6.5 in front and probably 6x9's in back but maybe 6.5 in back you have to check before purchase

couple of problems:

1. doesn't sound like you checked the depth of the speaker. all 5 and a quarter (5.25) speakers aren't made the same. just because it's 5.25, doesn't mean it'll fit. check the faq at the top of the forum to check the maximum depth always good to check a site like www.crutchfield.com to see what speakers will fit in your car, and which ones won't.

2. you bought phoenix gold... be glad they don't fit and take them back if you can. (obviously just my personal opinion).

my 92ex and 93 se came with 6x9,s from the factory and i changed both out with sony xplode 6x9,s 2 ways they fit fine.

he has a mounting depth problem...build a bracket with some wood...in his signature it says ex so he has the right size speaker the depths just off.

I got 5.25 on the front and the hole to mount it on is a bit small, so u should make it a bit bigger and fit it in , i used a heater gun. and it will stick out a bit too
heres a pic hoped i helped. Or u can go back to store and get the right size. i think 5 "

or you can do what i did



imaging is a wonderful thing. unless you like your music directed at your shins

[TMaxxTim]

Are those custom made, like fiberglass, or did you buy them somewhere, those look cool!!

Q-Forms. By Q-logic priced between 150-200 bux the usually need a little reinforcement and some sounddeading but for premade they got just about everything right.

The front speakers on a CB7 are either one of two sizes, 5.25 or 6.5.

Some models had a plastic housing that was in the door that also served as somewhat of an enclosure. Those pieces take a 5.25.

If you remove that plastic housing, you can straight bolt a 6.5 speaker to the door frame.

The housing has plenty of room for a 5.25, good depth. I have a set of Bazooka 120watt, aluminum coned 5.25s up there inside the enclosure and they sound great.

If you straight bolt a 6.5 to the frame, you have to be careful because if the speaker is too deep, it will interfere with the window mechanism.
