6.5" Jensens don't fit 91 Accord... Why? - 12/25/2006 8:45:46 PM    drtweak   Posts: 1 Joined: 12/25/2006 Status: offline Merry Christmas to All ! I just bought 6.5" Jensen speakers (model JPS365) to replace the stock speakers as a Christmas present for my wife's 1991 Accord.  I first tried installing the rear speakers and thought they would drop right into the existing brackets, but the Jensens are a little larger in diameter and won't fit in the brackets.  It seems that the original factory speakers are slightly smaller in diameter (just over 6 inches). Is there an easy fix, and can I expect to have the same trouble with the brackets on the front speakers?  Everything I've read says this car should take 6.5" speakers (all around) but when push comes to shove, they are too large to fit. Thanks for any help or advice! Frank Post #: 1

As for the screw holes they didn't line up with the alpines so I hauled out the drill and went to work.  So this is the type of custom work you will need to do on the rear and front speaker brackets in your accord. hoped this helped, if you need any more info on audio installation in this type of car lemme know (in reply to drtweak) Post #: 2
