I read the TL car brochure and it is stated a 6.5" size and read the forum claimed 5.25" ? I have not attemped to removed door panel to verified this yet. Can someone here kindly clarify what is actual size is.

Drcookie:

Thanks for a quick and expert response. You the men Drcookie.

Will look into it to have the factory speaker pull out and possibly replace with an 6.5" Pioneer triax.

I have a used Rockford Fosgate 15W per channel High current Amp, and planned to disconnect the front speaker and install a line level converter, then added an Amp that feed those new speaker.
What do you guys thinks? Is it worth it?
Current system sound is adequate, however I want a little bit more punch.

Please advice

OK 6.5 matches what I was told. Anyone know the maximum depth in inches of the speakers? Anyone have a line on a wiring diagram? Crutchfield has not measured this car so a quick connector is not available from them.

I'm still trying to figure out this system, like how to attach a photo and a signiture. I have a Black TL-S with Nav (2002)

it is 5.25 stock, but since is such a shallow mounting depth, the use of a bezel would be required, so you can easily use a 6.5 if you would like.

Most 6.5 will not fit in the 2000 without a spacer and slight modification. The hole is too small and the depth is only like 2". I put the Diamond M661 in the front doors and made a spacer and only had to trim the bottom edge of the hole for the wire terminal block on the mid.

AcuraX2, where do you get these spacers from?

what about a speaker that has a mounting depth of 2 1/16th" ? Will those fit without making any mods? THe polk db650 are listed as 2" top mount depth..

I made my spacers out of aluminum. That Polk would be really close to fitting with no mods. I think you would be alright with the depth but, not sure about the hole size. You may have to do some trimming to get it to fit properly.
