Honda Prelude Door Panels

[XtremeHonda]

Anyone know how I can put a 6.5 in my door without modifying it. I want to keep the stock look, I just recovered the grills with new grill cloth and I dont like to build out doors unless absolutly necessary. Any input is great thanks!

What year? Most 6.5s will fit in all but the oldest Preludes. The plastic cup needs to be removed, and a spacer may need to be fashioned out of wood, but all but the beefiest midbass should fit.

And that's the bottom line, cuz:

Dukk.. i know its an old post!

i got a 90model prelude and i know about the plastic **** they speaker holds on to...

if i make a new mounting baffle of say 12mm mdf (0.5inch), or thicker, i can see that i can mount a fairly standard 6.5 driver of say 65mm (2.6") mounting depth. BUT if i do that then the door trim will not clip back on...

help!!

and whats the bigger driver u've installed in a 90 prelude???

oh, and any tips for sound deadening the doors?

bloody preludes.... impossibly shallow doors and small boots (trunks)

I saw a '90 'lude with 8's in the doors... and NO buildout! They did have to move the window tracks back about an inch or so.

STILL waiting to hear a GOOD pair of HLCD's!!

If it dont fit, force it... if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway...

hehhe... thats alittle hard from me... though 8s would be killer!

Put some Illusion Audio speakers in the doors- if you can get them in Austraila that is. I have their 8s in the doors of my 300ZX and they rock! The 8s are 2 1/4 inches deep, and the 6 1/2s and 5 1/4s are even more shallow. If you can't get those speakers down there, I will be more that willing to fly down to Australia to deliver them. Orion also makes a really shallow 6 anch 8 inch midbass.

I have a prelude too, an 88, and boy it rattles like a mofo!! Anyone have any tips on reducing the rattle the doors and windows make?

As for getting 6.5's in the doors, it wouldn't be easy, but it's definitely do-able.

i know i can fit 6.5s.. i got 6.5inch infinity kappas... they are shallow... but i was thinking of gettting a higher end component system such as the Cantons or A/D/S's but they are both 1/2inch deeper...

no my doors are pretty good, but of course i want to make them DEAD!

hehhe

someone wants to buy me a pair of illusion audios and deliever them to me! hahha free??
naaah u cant buy Illusions or A/D/S's...

i'm having my relatives buy them and ship them to me to OZ

[winslow]

Deliver free? Don't know about that one.

Too bad you can't easily get those brands down under. And I really wanted to go until I heard that .
