Hello Fitfreakers

Please use this post to share your knowlege in speaker upgrades for an HONDA FIT GE8

Any brand is carry a brand, there's your answer. Thant said, you might as well keep the stock speakers.

Finally I decided to install the Pioneer TS-A1685R in my Front Doors, i can confirm there is enough housing space to install those speakers and the adapters from Aliexpress works very good.

Here you're some pictures

Front Door - Gathers Speakers GS-5060XL - Honda Access P/N 08a38-0h0-550 (now in my Rear Doors)


Honda-Acura Speaker Mount Plates Adapters



Install first the Speaker Mount using the factory screw, then use the Metra 72-7800 Honda and Acura Speaker Adapter Harness Connector (available on AMAZON or EBAY)


Finally use some screws to fix the speakers (I use screws 6x5/8 and some fixing rings)
à



I found these other speakers adapters

Hope this information helps you...

Excellent Jmsutton, waiting for your pics

I'm thinking to replace my rear speakers by ALPINE SPR-60 6.5" 2-WAY COAXIAL SPEAKERS

Tweeters are OK for now, I don't need more high tones.

If someone has information about Foam Speaker Buffles, seems to be a good product to protect the speakers from water leaks but I don't know if its will affect the speakers performance.

Do you think that these adapter rings would be a direct fit to 2012 Jazz/Fit? As your aliexpress link is not working anymore
