ok i want to add four 6x9 speakers in the back on the hatch cover (cardboard area) and i was wondering should i go with making a box and seating it there in place of the cardboard that is already there or jus make the holes and simply seat the speakers there..... what would be the pros and cons of doing either and if you have pics of these setups they would greatly help thanks..

It's a hard to find item.

I've made one from fiberglass before, it's really pretty easy to teach yourself.

Might I also suggest just using a pair of speakers in back in stead of four. Four might be a little overkill because rears, for the most part, are usually only for fill.
I'd go with a nice set of 3-ways myself and definitely don't cut the back cover, I've seen prices on the few I've seen online and they're not cheap.

Focus on the front speakers instead. When you go to a concert the music comes from the stage not behind you, so why set your car up that way?

if you have a pic of this it would really help because i dont see where on the cargo cover any brackets can be installed nor have i ever seen any cargo covers on a hatch with speakers unless a hole is cut in the cargo cover... thanks in advance

You can buy the setup new btw
www.hondapartsnow.com look under 94-95 si/3dr which ever shows up

Its not very expensive but when you peice 2 of each that you need being left and right.You'll understand why cutting two holes to accomodate for 6x9 is more commonly done.That and uneducated honda people

ah ok gotcha... those are for the side not the actual cargo area.... thats y i was confused as far as what was being mentioned... but yeah thats y i am looking at alternate ideas cuz i know where to get da cargo cover but it does cost 200$.... which is the down side of this whole thing
