5.25" in 2.5 tl

you can fit 6.5, but that's not what is in there.

5.25 is also in the 3.2s but all Honda 5.25 baskets have holes for a 6.5" speaker, and the basket is easy enough to cut. @ the OP, do a search.

There is an older thread concerning some very nice Polk door speakers that fit into the doors with a minor mod to the baskets that hold them. I apologize that I don't remember the models. I did the upgrade and the sound difference was amazing. One of my existing speakers had totally failed.

Even though everyone on here says that the front door speakers are 5.25", the diagram provided by the dealership shows the front door speaker as a 6.5" speaker.


Since so many people on here have changed their speakers and no one contests the fact that the front door speakers are 5.25", I assume the speakers are 5.25".

Does anyone have an idea as to why the diagram shows the speaker as 6.5"?

$43.46 is pretty inexpensive for stock speakers. Is it because the OEM speakers aren't all that great?

you could spend less than that on aftermarket speakers, and they'd still be better than stocks.

I have put polk db650s in my (98 3.2) doors & polk db690s in my back dash location.
No problems either place. The sound difference is quite significant.

I paid $50 for 6" speakers w/ 100 watts on cardiscountstereos.com they have real cheap stuff that is amazing I wish that I had only bought my rear speakers from there but b4 I could I got them as a christmas gift

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I think I'm going to go with Polk db650 and db690. I searched and read through quite a few threads and those seem to be the most hassle free fits on our cars.

yeah, just make sure the tweeter protrusion isn't too far outward, otherwise your stock grill won't be able to fit over them and therefore advertising your speakers for thieves.

bpjadhav

Thanks for the tip TLBaller. I think quite a few people on here have managed to get the stock grill over the db690s. From what I've read, the tweeter protrudes about 1/16th of an inch more than the tweeters on the stock speakers... but it can be covered with the custom grill. I hope I'm right. :p
