Can My Car Speakers be Replaced With Bigger Speakers?

Question

I Got a 2002 Acura RSX S
Almost Finished With Building =]
Im a newb at speakers. My car currently has 5 1/4" speakers. I was looking at pioneer electronics today and i found 6 3/4" speakers and i said WOAH ! I was wondering if i can replace my old speakers with 6 3/4". If so, what would i have to do and what kind of tools i willl need. thank you =]

Answer 1

if you're going to upgrade, why not go with components.
there's no need to cut into your car to make certain speakers fit. they make brackets so that you can use 6 3/4" speakers rather than the 5 1/4" ones you have.

i would choose components over single speakers anyday. the difference is night and day.

i usually stay away from bestbuy or any other retailer. the majority of the time the employees don't really know what they are talking about.

Answer 2

tin snips so you can cut a bigger hole theres enough space,drill bits , use new speaker wire dont use the factory wire

Answer 3

tell them the diameter of the speaker cone and the form of the speaker (around, oval or sq.) that would desire to be sufficient information.yet from time to time you may might desire to tell them the gap of the screw holes yet not nescesarry.

Answer 4

You would have to cut the existing mounting hole bigger. I would suggest staying the same size.

Answer 5

yes you will need a drill,set the speaker in and mark location for your screw holes
