Speaker recommendations for a 1996 Honda Civic
Hi.
I have a 1996 Honda Civic DX Coupe with a Pioneer DEH-P3700MP The stock speakers are horrible and I'm looking to upgrade them with these: Alpine SPS-69C2 http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...0SPS69C2&tp=91 and Kenwood KFC-1661S http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...=95&tab=review I plan on keeping the car for a few more years and wanted an cheaper upgrade. Obviously, I know next to nothing about car audio. All suggestions welcome and thank you. |

Obviously, I know next to nothing about car audio. All suggestions welcome and thank you. In my 1997 Civic I recently installed an Autopage RF-420 alarm and an Alpine CDA-9885. For the front doors, I installed some Alpine SPS-600 two ways but I have yet to put anything in the rear deck. The front doors suck depth wise on our particular generation of Civic. You can replace the stockers with some shallow mounts, but the likelihood of your screw holes lining up for the doors is nil. Prepare to drill additional holes to secure the speakers to the front doors. As for the rear deck, I would do things differently mainly because I do not like high frequencies coming from behind my head or bouncing off of the back glass. That is the main reason that I did not replace my rear deck speakers in my Civic. Regardless, I think you will be pleased with the sound you get from replacing your stock speakers. Just replacing my door speakers has improved things drastically. -Chris |

I am forced to change out the speakers in the rear deck as an ex-roommate tore a hole in one of them. I'm not sure I want to get involved with a sub and amp and so I'm not sure I'll ever get particularly low frequencies anyway. Maybe it's not realistic, but I'd like to have some limited bass without a sub. |

With just the Alpine head unit and fresh door speakers, it gets nice and loud inside the car. |
