You can buy the stuff at any hardware store. Although the doors in your Accord shouldn't be that shallow. If it truely is a problem, and you're finding it difficult to allocate a jig saw to cut the spacers you can try using your old front speakers as spacers for the mid ranges in your component set up. Just hack them apart and find a way to attach it to your midrange and then to your door in the factory place.

Asking people if you should get a certain set of speakers in a public forum like this is really a bad idea. Your best bet is to go down to a Car Audio place and listen for yourself. There's no advice as good as your own ears.

Components, a set of 6x9s (these don't need a heck of alot of power) in the rear for fill, and a sub will do the trick. It's more about placement and installation. Such as your wanting to mount your components in the factory location. They will sound 100x better if they are installed in kick panels correctly I emphasize correctly because it's easy to incorrectly install them. Q Logic makes kick panels, which you can seal with fiberglass to make them enclosures. I think that would be your best bet.

I hope this clears a little bit up for you.

Also you didn't mention if you were powering your speakers up front off an external amp or the one onboard your head unit. I highly recomend using an external amplifer as components will need the clean power to sound good.
