6.5s for front and rear doors and 6x9 on the rear deck.

Delmiroc

is this a perfect fit?

I heard from member on another board that I might need to do cutting to make 6.5 fit?

did you do yours?

THANKS MAN

More than likely you'll need to fabricate a spacer for the fronts (and possible the rears depending on besket width).

I'm installing my door speakers with 3/4" MDF spacers.

hey lung do you know the mounting depth of the stock speakers?

Delmiroc

GOOD question
I wish I knew

Lung Fu Mo Shi

I have my speakers out right now (fabbing spacers today and mocking up the install.

The mounting depth of the speaker is: 1.5" (from sheet metal to bottom of magnet).

Total speaker depth is: 2 5/8" deep.

Dan Martin

Lung, do you mean that ther is 2-5/8" of depth to mount the speaker?

Lung Fu Mo Shi

Okay. The speaker sticks through the sheetmetal into the door by the "mounting depth" of 1.5".

The overall height of the speaker is 2 5/8".

So, if you mounted the stock speaker, it would stick INTO the door at 1.5" and out of the door by 1 1/8".

Basically the stock speaker has a built in plastic spacer in it.

Dan Martin

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.

Lung,

Do the stock speakers have any labels or markings that would indicate a model number, a db rating, a power rating (RMS or peak)?

Don't know this guy, but it's a good "how to" with tips.

He used Polks I think.

Nope. Nothing except "made in China"

I put in Alpine Type R's in front with a 1" spacer and still had to cut quite some metal. Stay away from anything much bigger than 2" deep (6.5 wide) with a big magnet, unless you are willing to do some cutting.

Lung Fu Mo Shi

Alpine Type-Rs are the biggest I've seen in the TSX. Obviously mine are not as deep.

tuan209

how big and what is the mounting depth of the type Rs? mine are pretty big w/ a 2.75in mounting depth...hehe

Delmiroc

MOST speakers today are more than 2inches depth... my new ones are 2 1/4

jlukja

The Infinity 6002si are the only ones I know of that are less than 2 inch depth (1-7/8 inch). Infinity says they are specifically manufactured as a swap out speaker for import vehicles with speaker depth restrictions. Have no idea how they sound though.

In my defense, I said much bigger.

According to Alpine, 2.75in. I didn't actually measure them. I think the gap behind them was 1/4 before they hit metal.
