What size speakers fits a honda 2013 fit?
I wanted to get some speakers that's on side of the doors but I know there are different sizes, is it 6" x 9"? I want both front and back speakers. Also what kind of speakers are good for sound? I currently installed Sony XAV-172HD DVD player. I was at a shop and they told me they can install Alpine SPS-619 (all 4 doors) for $280 but I'm not sure if that's a good deal. Can someone who has knowledge with speakers step in and tell me what to get? Thanks!

I found on different sites for way cheaper Alpine SPS-619 Type S 6"x9" 3-way car speakers at Crutchfield.com ($119) but is this for all 4 or just a pair and would I have to purchase 2 of them if I want them in all 4 doors? and actaully I found out it's 6.5 x 9" so this is the one they were offfereing me. Alpine SPR-60 IS it a good price to install these into all 4 doors plus labor for $280 flat?

If you enter your car model information at Crutchfield, they'll show you all the speakers they carry that fit. The Fit does not use 6x9 speakers; they're round, and it appears that either 5 1/4" or 6 1/2" speakers generally fit. You do also have to pay attention to the depth of the speaker; too deep and it will block the window from rolling down.
Car speakers are generally sold by the pair. Installation isn't especially complicated; whether your quote is a good price or not depends partly on local prevailing labor rates, and how fastidious the shop is, and a bunch of other things. It might help if you could sort out how much of the quote is parts and how much is labor.

Do you want more clarity or depth?
The 15 watt is probably the rms rating of the stock HU. I gaurantee they can take more power than that. The aftermarket speakers have a higher rms rating and should be driving by an external amp to get the most out of them. I would suggest just adding a quality 4 channel amp with the stock speakers. If you find you want more range/clarity, then do speakers. Things work best in pairs.

you don't really have to change your rear speakers. get a better pair for the front and get a nice amp that would power them appropriately. then you will get your clarity. you will be sitting at the driver's seat not at the back.

I drive people often so I want them to hear the same quality of music as me and the passenger. Would just changing it to 80 watts speakers (alpine) make noticeable difference?

I think I DJ about 4-5 nights a week so sound is very important to me. I got a Sony XAV-172HD and made the sounds a little better but when I turn it up high (not blasting) I can hear the distortion. I just hope 15watts which is the stock speakers compared to the 80 watts will make a good difference and give a good clarity.

also, all this talk about sound quality, and you haven't even spoken about subs. don't expect low bass frequencies from 6 1/2 speakers. you'll get decent mid-bass, but u need proper subs to get the full range.

just make sure u look at the RMS range of the speakers and make sure u get a set that matches the RMS output of your headunit. if you are a DJ and really care about the sound, then spend the extra cash on a proper amplifier. it will sound way better than the built-in amplifier of your head unit.

In the bar of links near the top of the FF forum find Quick Links, choose Edit Signature. The little editor has a Insert Image tool, you will need to have a url for your image, one way to do this is to upload your image into Albums right here on FitFreaks.

I don't want to blast my music loud enough to the point where I need a sub. Just want to be able to listen to music loud (not to the point where the other cars could hear me) I just want better clarity when I turn up my music. Also I need to save space for DJ equipments so sub would be in the way of that. I always buy a hatchback for the reason of the space (ep3, wrx, now fit).
