N E1 know the size of the stock speakers in 89 crx si?
I know this is an audio ? but I thought I get a faster response here, I just want to know if I could put some 6x9s in the rear locations behind the panels. I did some measurements and it would be tight but I think they might fit. Maybe some of you can help a brother out here

Re: N E1 know the size of the stock speakers in 89 crx si?
i was thinking about rigging up the same setup. i think it will fit, but you might need to custom some brackets to hold the speaker. i dont know if they sell them.

I'm not 100% on this but I don't think they are 6x9's...more like a 5x7...but don't hold me to that. You can actually get a 4x6 as well but I believe it is a 5x7.
Can someone else verify? Jason |

Check out the back, I have the 4D but with a few mods, went from 6 1/2 to 6x9's real easy. Thanks to Dremel, and a little bit of aluminum.
Custom brackets for a rex shouldn't be to hard. |

The stock speaker sizes are 6.5
it is possible to fit 6X9's back there... but there's not much point to doing so since you really don't get much more sound quality out of the 6X9's then you do the 6.5's..... sure you get a 'little' more bass, but not much. I always suggest good component sets for your speakers, and then just get yourself a good sub for the bass. Next time I have a CRX, I'm going to put some 8" subs in the rear speaker locations and keep all my sound stage up front. Even now in my Civic, I took out the rear speakers so as to keep good sound staging up front, where it's supposed to be.

By component speakers do you mean tweeters? I have always thought 6x9s gave better lows than the round 6.5 and less

Sound waves are "round" not oval...thus IMO 6.5" will always outperform 6x9's. If you put a nice "quality" SQ 6.5 in the rear and front...with some form of bass driver farther in the rear...you will be quite happy! IMHO Jason |

Re: N E1 know the size of the stock speakers in 89 crx si?
Yeah it clarifies it somewhat, so what I think you mean by component speakers are those 2,3,4-way speakers? I am not trying to win any competitions just want a decent sound na' mean.
On a quick side note what are people's opinions of the non-brand name joints, can performance be estimated from the specs? |

so no... what I mean by component speakers are conprised of At least one mid range speaker (ranging in size from 4" to 8") a tweeter, and an electronic cross over that takes the signal coming from the CD player, amp or whatever you're running through, and splits the signal between the speakers... the mid range driver getting the lower pitch sounds, and the tweeter getting the really high pitch sounds. Whether you want to win audio competitions or not, every since I started using component sets instead of full range speakers, I've been happy and never looked back.

Re: N E1 know the size of the stock speakers in 89 crx si?
Ok, I got it. But if that is the case an amp would be a must right, because that would be at least 6 "components" 4 speakers, and 2 tweeters. Could a head unit alone power a setup like this? Sorry about all these ?s homie thank you for actually trying to answer my ? without being an @ss or condescending.

Head unit usually can power four speakers with sufficient power...once you go beyond that and especially with a sub you will need an amp/amps depending on what you are planning to drive...
Once you have an idea of 'what' drivers/sub driver you're using, we can aid in giving you an idea of what power you'll need... Jason |

Re: N E1 know the size of the stock speakers in 89 crx si?
head units usually are like 50x4. but thats peak and not rms (or continuous). my 6.5s handle 60w rms. and i am not sure what 6x9s handle but i am sure it is more. the point is, if you want really decent sound, get an amp. it doesn't have to be a big amp. even if you get a 100w amp, it is still pushing more sound than the deck. i am going to try to keep my 6.5s in the front and see what i can do to get the 6x9s in the back. with an amp and in my crx, that should sound pretty decent. subs weigh too much and take up too much space. i dont want to add any unnecessary pounds to my car.
