Installing door speakers right now! - 1/2/2007 7:38:39 PM    19Accord97   Posts: 3171 Joined: 3/5/2006 Status: offline I bought a pair of Lightning Adio 6.5's for the the doors of my car.  On the back it said it would fit my Accord.  But, when I put the speaker in the plastic Honda mounting cup, the speaker wont sit all the way in it.  But when I try to mount the speakers to the door itself, there are no holes that match up?  Am I just doing something stupidly wrong? I'm trying to get these put in tonight. Please help!  Thanks! _____________________________ Scopin out my old turf......

I didn't reuse the plastic cups. Also, I didn't try to use the same mounting holes. I drilled new mounting holes, cut off the Honda elec. connectors, crimped the wires together with a crimp connector, then screwed the speakers in place. As mentioned in the above post, make sure you checked the depth clearance of the new speakers with the window down. (in reply to sir_nasty) Post #: 6
