I think ill be going with the 15-mcs6's in the front and i already have an older set of 6.5 coax's from my last car that i will be using . Also ill my old amp from my last setup as well . I was also thinking thinking about getting some dynamat for the rear deck . I need to figure out how and where to put the amp as i would like it to be hidden as much as possible. I have just about everything , except for the sub , speakers and a LOC .

Will i need to enlarge the opening in the doors for those and use spacers ?

I can't speak for the TL but I had to use the spacers to clear the window and also enlarge the opening to fit the size of the speaker.

They might be larger then the TSX but with 95% of all Hondas you will need to cut the opening and use spacers. Honda's 6.5" mounting hole is more like 5.25's.

I would order 1in spacers for the front and 1/2in for the rear. Also I just went back and looked at my thread and remembered another reason why I know you will need to make it bigger. I actually had to enlarge the spacer opening as well to get the speaker to fit in it.

Accepted a promotion today.

I'm now the SE Region Customer Technical Service Manager. The Regional Sales Manager and CTS Manager, jointly, 'own' the region. SE is one of 6 regions in the country.

SE is the largest sales region in the country with about $130mm in sales and we're already up 15% over last year. I'll have about 50 people in the Regional CTS organization working for me. Nice salary bump and an additional $$ in the bonus pool.

Still based in Charlotte. Customer base from VA to FL, eastern TN and Alabama.

It's a pretty big deal .... to me anyway.

Hey, you guys might appreciate this:

Today I had to give a presentation on a team project we're working on. It was a legit business presentation to a room full of engineers, technologists and operating level managers. There we're 5 teams, each with project and each made a presentation.

At one point in our presentation I was able to reference 'cake' and then said, "The Cake Is A Lie".



ehhh .... maybe you had to be there. Trust me, it was funny.
