Hey I'm wondering if these speakers will fit in the rear of my 01 Accord EX Coupe:

http://www.infinitysystems.com/carau...er=REF&Cat=MEL

It lists the mounting depth as 2 and 7/8" for those speakers, but I already tried to install Infinity Kappa 693.5I 3 way 6 x 9's in the rear and they were too deep for the car. The Kappa's mounting depth is listed at 3 and 3/16". What mounting depth should I look for for my Accord and will the linked Reference speakers fit in the rear of my car? Thanks .

 

You can use a spacer to give you additional mounting depth. A 0.25" adapter should fit and still allow you to use the stock grill. Cut one out of 0.25" hardboard.

 

thanks, do you have a link with instructions on how to do this?

 

You could fashion some kind of spacer, or you can just get some poly spacers from your local hardware store. I know that they come in .25" and they fit right over the screw (can hardly tell). Then all you need to do is get a slightly bigger screw and screw it together.........easier than trying to cut out a wood spacer (for me anyways).

I have a 99 Integra GS (sedan) and used this method to "make" some 7x10's fit into the 6x9" holes, while still utilizing the OEM speaker grills.

 

Self explanatory. Something like this (except for a 6"x9").
