6x9s in Front Doors?? 97 Coupe
I know the doors have 6.5s in them but has anyone tried to fit 6x9s? I just want to know it there is enough door panel room for them and if there is no clearance issues in the door itself. I have manual windows too if that matters. I dont have any issues with 6.5s I just have a whole bunch of 6x9s in my possession.

No, unless you want to do some fiber glass work to the door panel, NO. It will not fit, and it will most likely sound like crap.
Get a decent set of 6.5" speakers. If you wish to amp them, get a nice set of components, and I'm not running rear speakers either. Messes with imgaing and sound qaulity.

What car is this? But with most Hondas, the effort wouldnt be worth it. You are probably going to have to do some cutting of the panels. Sell some of your 6x9s and get a good set of 6.5s.

Speaker size has nothing to do with distortion. Distortion comes from different equalizing, crossover slopes, and what bass and treble settings are at, and how much power is going to a speaker.
Kick panels are going to be hard if you have a manual, and you will lose your dead pedal. I have a 5 speed, and tried to do kick panels, but the driver side got in the way of using the clutch pedal.
Don't get components unless you are going to amp them. Comps were not designed to run off head unit power, and never will be. Also, mounting the speakers correctly will give you better sound. The stock speakers are mounted on the door panels. You want to cut that out, either make or buy a speaker baffle and mount the mid range drivers to the door in self. I will see if I can find a pic of mine.

The 6X9 will give some distortions jut because audio is suppose to be produced as a circle. When you use an od shaped speaker your freq. waves cross eachother.
Compontents can be ran off of a head unit power. I would not run a high quality pair off of a head unit but if you get a basic 2 way component speaker system it will sound fine.
