JL Audio TR690-TXi (deck)
JL Audio TR600-CXi (front)
I'm looking to go with these speakers for my car (stock HU).
I'm thinking these will be powered fine by the OEM HU. Am I correct?
I believe the front ones need some sort of adapter (according to Crutchfield) but the rear can be popped right in. How would I know what kind of adapter to get since I can get the speakers for about $40 less on eBay.

They're made by Metra or Scoche and they're specific to our Accords. You can find them on eBay too.

Is this what I'm looking for?

Or am I looking for speaker connectors?

You need speaker harnesses regardless of the speaker like the ones in the link. As for the speaker adapter, I needed a one inch spacer because of the size of my magnet. I assume you will need the same. I just got a generic brand and fit at Circuit City, when it was still around, and they worked fine. I believe they were about $20.00. Hope this helps.

So basically I will need both? I won't mind trying those adapters for like $10...

Well, I don't know. I can't really tell what those adapters do. Why do you think you need adapters? It should be pretty simple, 6.5" speaker replaces 6.5" speaker. I'll just let the expert answer so it'll be certain.

The speaker wire adapters will be helpful, but you can just cut off the old adapters and run bare wire. As for the speaker adapters, you may want to make sure they're spaced out so the magnet clears.

Edit: and which series of their speakers is the best bang for the buck?

Their speakers aren't half bad actually. Honestly, go listen to them and make your decision based on what sounds best to you within your budget.

Go to their website, look for an authorized dealer near you, and ask them to listen to the speakers you want to buy.

is it bad to mix brands of speakers? im sure it is, i have infinity Kappa in back and maybe gona put apline speakers that come with amp in front, i do have kappa for fronts, just have to cut oem door grill out to make them fit
kappa has cross over on each speaker to separate lows and highs and send them to tweaters and midrange speaker,
also what about disconecting/removing oem tweaters? i heard that rubs power to regular speakers

It's not going to kill anything to use different brands of speakers. The only people that care about that are judges.
As far as your stock tweeters go, you may want to disconnect them if you're not using them. They don't really "rob" power because they don't need much power.

found other amps with speaker level inputs (kinda looks like most 4 chanel amps have this feature.)
