    I am thinking of replacing the rear speakers on my accord

    Are the rear 6x9 speakers full range?
    has anyone replaced them? what was the result

    thanks for the info

    Hello, Rick! Last year, I replaced the factory speakers on my 2004
    Accord EX-L sedan, the two rears with Kicker 3-way 6x9"s and the fronts
    with 6" 2-way Kenwoods. I kept the factory radio unit because I didn't
    want to lose the functionality of the dash unit itself. I kept the two
    factory tweeters in the back of the dashboard because they required too
    much labor to change. I had a professional shop do the installations.

    I apparently do not get the full range with this set-up. If I adjust
    the treble towards maximum, I get harsh feedback anytime the vocals
    sing the "s" sound. I can minimize this feedback by neutralizing the
    bass and treble settings on the factory unit. I'm not sure if the
    factory tweeters are producing this feedback, but the distorted "s" and
    "sh" sounds suggest that 2-way 6x9"s in the rear may be the way to go.

  3. I replaced them in my 2005 Accord Hybrid. Just pop out the cover clips
    from the trunk side and put in new 6x9s. It sounds a little better but
    the unreplacable stereo still sucks ass.

    You can't replace the stereo on a 05 accord? What the hell is going on here?
    Car manifacturers are making it so hard for a DIY-er work on their car, it's
    unspeakable. Isn't it enough that we have to pay so much money to fix an
    airbag that went off, or that we have to go to them every time we disconnect
    the radio and don't have the secure code? I mean this is rediculous. I don't
    like depending on someone else especially when it costs money to depend on
    that. **** that!
