What size speakers are in a 2001 Civic?
Front speakers are typically 6.5 inches in a 2001 Civic. The rear speaker sizes vary by body style and trim, usually 4 inches or 5.25 inches in the doors, and some hatchback/coupe variants may use 6x9 inches on the rear deck.

Speaker sizes by location
Below are the typical sizes you’ll see in a 2001 Civic, depending on the location inside the car. Note that exact sizes can vary by trim and original equipment, so always measure or verify before purchasing replacements.
- Front doors: 6.5 inches (165 mm), usually a two‑way coaxial setup with a separate tweeter in some trims.
- Rear doors: typically 4 inches (100 mm) or 5.25 inches (133 mm), depending on trim and body style.
- Rear deck (in coupes/hatches that have rear shelf speakers): commonly 6x9 inches (150 × 230 mm) on models that include rear shelf speakers.
To ensure compatibility, verify by removing a door panel or checking the owner’s manual or a parts catalog for your exact VIN. When upgrading, match mounting depth and impedance to the factory system.
Notes on trim/body style variations
The DX, LX, and EX trims can influence rear speaker sizes, particularly in the rear doors. If upgrading, be aware that some configurations may require adapters or different mounting brackets for a clean install. Most common aftermarket replacements are available in 6.5" front and 4" or 5.25" rear sizes, with 6x9" rear shelf alternatives for select coupe/hatchback variants.
