Do you still think the 1 inch spacers are too big?
If so then where can i get 3/4 inch spacers without cutting my own because i dont have the tools for that.
Thanks again

Where are you getting 1" spacers that are made for an Accord? The issue is that you need to account for foam thickness between spacer and metal and between spacer and speaker basket. I am close to 1" with the additional deadener and foam layers.
I have no idea where you would buy spacers like these. A drill and a jig saw is all that is needed, maybe find someone and buy them a 6-pack?
In a pinch, I have used 3/4" closed cell rubber foam weather-stripping to act as a spacer and seal, then you can use standard 1/2" plastic spacers or adapters. Closed cell is important as it won't compress like open cell foam.
Install is key. Deadening and sealing the doors did WONDERS for mid bass response.

do you need some 3/4 spacers? i am about to replace my speakers. i am going to have to cut some. i dont have the demensions on a 2000 honda. but if you tell me the measurements i can cut you some out of 3/4 mdf when i cut mine. i would be willing to do the pair for 20 plus shipping. let me know.

I can give you a template, 2000 is the same as a 2001. You will need to know the inside dimension for the cutout. Wood needs to be waterproof, resin is best but deadener can work as shown above.
You can use the factory speaker as a template so the mounting holes are the same. But I prefer bolts in place of the plastic nuts. The plastic nuts just pop out.
I prefer t-nuts for mounting, but you need the drivers for that. The buyer could add t-nuts later.
That is a nice offer and a very fair price.

i have access to a cnc so it really isnt much work for me. if would come unsanded but if he wants to sand it it would be very minimal sanding. no reshaping needed just smooth the edges a bit.
i also do have resin and dampner at the house. if interested swagonpoint it would change the price but i can do that too.
