Are the stock 5th gen prelude really 6.5" in the front? On the FAQ on this board it says that it is. I bought a 6.5" spacer from circuit city and it was too big for the stock location. Since it didn't fit I made my own. I traced the stock speaker on the mdf board and cut out the size. After I was done, I tried to mount my aftermarket CDT speaker on it. I found out that it was too small. I thought that I over cut the wood but I put the spacer back on the stock speakers it seemed to fit fine.
So I decided to measure the speakers for myself.
The CDT CL-62 6.5"
As you can see, the measurment came out to be about 6.5"
Stock speaker
The measruement for the stock came out to be about 6.25
My old Diamond Audio M361 6.25"
Here is all 3 of them
Here is the stock speaker on top of the CDT
Well since I can't make a spacer that fits and keep the stock grill closed I plan to buy a "slim" component set. I know CDT make slim speakers but I am afraid that the diameter may be too big for the stock location.
If I didn't have my Diamond Audio M361 to measure, I would of thought that CDT just made some oversize speaker. But since my Diamond Audio M361 also measured 6.25" I believed that the stock speaker size is also 6.25". I know for a fact that my Diamond Audio M361 was 6.25" because that was the only speakers that I was able to find that was in that size when I first bought it back in 2002.
Anyone else having problem with there 6.5" speakers not fitting diameter wise?
Here is the height of the stock speakers if anyone is intrested
