Default Putting rears in my hatch.

Well I just bought a set of JL Audio XR components (can't wait ) so I would like to put my current coaxials in the rear.

I have a 93 CX hatch, and it does not have speaker slots in the back.

What is the best way to install them? A drill and or/dremel? Or should I just get the speaker panels off another model and slap them in?

swap the speaker panels... Im not too familiar with the hatch's... but its gonna be more pleasing to the eye to have the stock speaker panels, rather than cutting holes and using the speakers grilles.

some things are just better off left alone. haha jk well in seth90dx's case, if it was my ride, i'd fabricate it. Cut the backing out and make it look good. you could always get one of those sealed enclosure but that's kinda ghetto

Yeah there is a Honda junkyard near where I live. (it's an f'ing goldmine!!!) I'm just going to try to swap in the rear panels from the Si or EX. I'll keep you posted.

Well the problem is... Even if I do cut bigger holes, the windows will hit the back of the speakers when i roll them down. The dude that sold me this stuff SWORE it would fit! He said he even installed on my car before! BS! So Im gona have to make some wood panels and cover them with speaker carpet and mount my 6.5's in them! Will this work?
