Lude Generation

These are my front and rear speakers:











Can someone tell me:

1. What are my stock speaker sizes?
2. How do i replace them (before i break the speaker covers or something)?

Thanks all!

17cm fit front and rear, only place to cut is behind the white plastic baskets in the doors. It's a pretty straight forward job they will rattle though unless you strengthen the door cards with sound mat. I'm almost certain the standard size is 10cm mounted on adapters.

Thanks!

But what white plastic baskets?
10cm for what?

PS: Thats an awesome pic of your lowered lude in yout sig

I don't know the exact measurements for the rear, but a spare front measures up thus: Speaker cone 10cm, overall O/D 12 cm, fixing points, centre to centre 12 cm. I think if you go to a I.C.E shop, the thing to quote may be the cone size, 10 cm, all other dimensions may be a standard. I believe rears are identical, but would need to check .

P.S. I've had my rears replaced once by an outlet, and the new ones were a direct retro fit, with no adaptations necessary.

If you got for complete replacement rear speaker units, I'd love to have the original grilles/baskets please

Wurly, top illustration is a standard speaker grille, second is non standard

Cheers guys

Wurley - sorry pal, I like to keep my car original as I can

Prelude91 - oh, have u got pics of original?


I did search on forum for speaker sizes - but maybe I didnt search hard enough

Did find a thread with replacing with front/back 17cm - but not enough detail on there.

Peeking thru the front speakers they do look small

Strange
My other car is a CRX - front is 17cm, back is 13cm.
I would have thought the BIGGER Prelude have bigger stock speakers

No, wayne, I've looked at my car, the mesh size of the 2 pics you've posted are different, the tighter weave mesh as per pic. 1 is standard, the second 'cheesegrater' grille is not O.E. If I recall, my replacement rears were about 70 quid fitted, as the originals were a bit squeaky. I have a front out, at the mo. as I needed to remove the door card to waxoyl the inner door seams, I think a slug., or something has got access to the speaker cone, as the complete outside edge was 'eaten' away, no wonder it was so 'rattly' have still to buy a replacement pair, but am confident, as per rears, that a standard footprint size will be available to save having to drill extra holes in the door cards.
