Acura Integra Tips, Tutorials and DIY

Here are a few pictures that show how I mounted Pioneer 6×9s in the rear speaker locations. I removed the factory speakers and the black plastic brackets that hold them. The speakers are secured by only 3 screws, but I’ve had them mounted for a week now and they’re still extremely tight. I’ve got lots more pictures to post, but I wanted to throw these up ASAP.

The stock speakers in my 2-door Integra are 5 inch speakers that are stamped “MEXICO”. I’m replacing all of them. A lot of people claim these speakers are 5.5 or 6.5 inches. If you measure the speaker itself it’s hardly more than 5″. Including the rim the entire speaker assembly measures 6 and 1/8 inches. 

First, I’m going to put 6×9 inch speakers in the rear speaker positions (not the cargo tray!). A lot of forums make the project sound complex or even impossible. I was amazed at how easy it was to remove the interior pieces and mount 6×9s with no custom brackets.

Integra 6×9 myths

• Custom speaker brackets are needed
• There’s not enough room to mount a 6×9
• The interior metal must be cut

There are some modifications involved, but this is a fun project overall that uses only basic tools. During this modification, much of the interior behind the front seats must be removed. Learning this procedure allows you to access the rear speakers and all rear electronics.

Starting this website reminds me of Super Troopers.

I’ve owned a 2000 Acura Integra LS coupe for a little more than one year. You should’ve seen her when I found her. Her poor muffler had been cut off and a nasty exhaust welded directly to the stock muffler pipe. I changed it the night before a four hour trip. I didn’t have a garage at that apartment, and it was raining.

I took off an intake by the same shitty company that made the exhaust. I removed window tint from the front windows after receiving a written warning from the state police. Oh Pennsylvania.

I ditched 17 inch rims, as well. Now, I have 15″ stock replica rims that I bought on eBay.

I am building this site for primarily one purpose. There are no good integra 6×9 tutorials online. I’ve found a few decent write ups on honda-tech, but all of them have dead pictures. Tonight, I mounted Pioneer 6×9s in my rear speaker locations, and I’ve been taking pictures since I removed my rear interior last week.
