Need help replacing my 02 Accord EX speakers....

Discussion in 'Accord' started by ChadLaCalamita, Nov 10, 2005.

  1. Anybody have any diagrams or recommendations on new speakers...

    The front right and the dashboard left are the only ones blown.

    Not looking to spend that much but would like some good sound....total
    under $150

    I have all stock right now (including the radio)...going on a road trip
    and dont want to listen to blown speakers the whole way. Have tonight
    only to replace them so the easiest installation would be great!

  2. If it is like my 2000 SE with the 6 speaker stereo, I would clip the
    leads to the dashboard tweeters and find some good quality speakers for
    the doors. The factory speakers in the doors are pretty cheesy looking
    full-range speakers. If you had a couple of days, I would suggest going
    to Crutchfield and using their database to select proper replacement
    speakers for the front doors. I am quite happy with some Polk 2-ways
    they recommended, they were less than $100 and their instructions were
    excellent. You could always go to Crutchfield's website, see what fits,
    then truck off to Best Buy or Circuit City for replacements that fit
    your budget and car.

    The good thing is that there are decent speakers that will fit the
    factory grilles with minimal fuss. The factory radio is rated at 20
    watts RMS x 4 and is made by Alpine, and performs well and has good
    ergonomics compared with most of the flashy aftermarket radios out
    there. For $200 I added a USA Spec CD player which fits the factory
    opening, but the EX already has one. In addition to the Polks up front,
    I put some Infinity Reference 6x9 2-ways in the back, and finished it
    off with a Jensen 300 watt amp to drive a 10 inch Infinity Subwoofer in
    a Qlogic box in the trunk. For about $700 it sounds awesome, and is
    totally stealth.

  3. As for front speakers, the main constraints are depth, I think you are
    limited to something like 1 11/16 inch in depth, but you can buy a
    little more by cutting away at part of the plastic shroud that is behind
    the speaker.
