will these component speakers fit a 5th gen? - Honda Prelude Forum

I am going to purchase new speakers for 5th Generation. I have an apline head unit CDA 7894. I am considering either Infiniti Kappa 6000CS or 605CS they have a mounting depth of 2 1/16" for the 6000CS and 2 3/16" for the 605CS.

Will these fit in the doors? How much additional cutting of the speaker basket might be necessary? I do plan on having them professionally installed but I would like to choose a speaker that does not require excessive cutting and manipulation to make them fit.

If anyone has any other suggestions of component speakers that would fit in the front doors I would be glad to hear them.

I also plan on buying an amp and subwoofer but I will make a seperate post for that question.

i have kappa perfects in the doors... the whole speaker basket is cut out, and then i have one inch speaker spacers too (a round ring that sticks out... hard to describe sort of). the stock grill wont fit back on, you will need to do something sorta custom to cover it up...

would Infinit Kappa 50.5 CS fit better. These are 5 1/4".The top mount depth is 2 1/16".

If 5 1/4 are the way to go are what other 5 1/4 compnent speakers would you recomend?

I am going to install a subwoofer. Any recomendations as to size and brand? I want good bass but I don't need the whole car to shake.

As far as amps go I was considering Alpine MRV F 340 V12. 65 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms
130 watts RMS x 2 in bridged mode
2-, 3-, or 4-channel output. I am going to use the amp to drive the front speakers and the sub woofer. Is this sufficient power?

I am going to keep my stock rear speakers and drive them off my Alpine head unit.
