91 Accord EX front speakers

Need to replace blown speaker on 91 Accord EX 4-dr, but it is an oddly sized
5" speaker. Will be checking out Alpine SPS-100A 4" to see if it could fit
the factory bracket which has a diameter of 4-1/16". Anyone have success w/
factory bracket ? (BTW, Crutchfield suggested replacing with Accord LX
bracket which can accept 6-1/2" speaker, but means more $.)

Thanks.

 

And *much* better sound. Once the ducted enclosures are removed, 6.5"
speakers fit just fine.

 

You're right, a 6.5" would just fit the raw opening. It seems there aren't
any pre-drilled holes to fasten just the speaker itself, so would you know
if the LX bracket is a simple ring, or if it's similar to the EX boxed
bracket? If it's just a ring, then I could try making one out of MDF
(heard that it's bad just to fasten the speaker to bare metal). I like the
EX bracket because it isolates the speaker from any moisture that might get
into the door panel.

 

'91 is old enough that you should be able to find the EX brackets for
next to nothing at the junk yard.
