give me a straight answer..

i've searched and searched and cant come up with a straight answer.

is there any bolt in ( no modifications needed) replacement door speakers besides the factory?

i'd like to upgrade my 08 sport's door speakers and tweeters.

what i know:

-tweeters pull out ( place new ones in ) maybe if i'm lucky the oem shroud will work?

- door speakers are 6.5" and shitty.

-headunit upgrade is a must.

No.

No one will make a complete direct replacement. All speakers will need some sort of modification. Depending on your skill level and what you pick may just mean simple screw holes. I don't know of a single speaker that will use the same factory plug in either. I used a much larger speakers so I had to use a spacer, cut the metal and make holes for the screws. I also ran new speaker wires into the door.

If you get your stuff through crutchfield it will come with any thing needed for a direct fit. I have used them in the past for othere cars and never had problems

From what I can tell, and my 20 years of install experience is that the speaker adapters will not snap in as the factory speakers do. The adapters that they sell (or include) will require some screws. The OP wanted a solution with no modifications and that's what I was going with.

I've got some pics of the door speakers in my fit on here:

I can do a simple write up if you want. There's not much too it. Pull the door panel, make a simple 3/4" spacer and let it rip. My mids are about as big as they come and don't hit the door. The one place you might have trouble is if you do a coax with the tweet in the middle that sticks out too far.

Thanks!!

I have a three way in my accord, though not as easy of an install, but made me fall in love with the high and wide image they provide. I spent about two weeks after work and on the weekends making them. Just fiberglass and wood. I've got a bunch of pics if anyone needs any to try to make some for themselves. I could make another set but I would loose my front speakers for two weeks!! Boo!!

Good luck with your install and let me know if you need any other questions answered.
