Fibreglass Speaker Enclosures

Does anyone know where I could get fibreglass enclosures to fit in the front of my 93 si hatch on the floor area closes to the outer doors, facing on an angle towards the driver and front passenger seats. Not sure of the size yet, but I am interested in purchasing somthing such as this..just want to know the prices.
Also, my buddy has a '97 civic Si, and he has tweeters on the inside of his car, on the corner of the door, where the mirror is attached (but on the inside of the car obviousely). These apparently come stock...would it be possible to find such a thing to fit my 93 hatch as well/??? Is this a universal size? So if I was to buy those tweeter frames from a scrapyar somewhere, woudl they fit into my car?

Any ideas? or will it have to be customized as well???

They fit all the kick panel area in 5th gens. Do you have auto or stick?

I used a 6.5" mid and 1" tweet I belive.

The wiirng is easy just run it from your head unit to the kick area.

This is what they look like.

Note: Now the vinyl is in a little worse shape, but you can revinyl them in any color you want or put fabric on.

Looks pretty good man..but kinda tight on the driver's side. I don't want to completely mess up my ability to use the clutch.(its 5spd.)
Will there be a problem with this?

I had mine custom made by a guy on the board, his board name is SDG. If you contact him I'm sure he'll be able to help.

The skeleton of mine was already built for another guy but he backed out so I probably got it a litlle cheaper. It was made for 2 10" subs facing back towards the rear hatch. I paid $300 this was unfinished however. I still need to finish the smoothing and painting since I'm going that route.

check out my setup for my tweeters in my 92 civic si





i would not suggest using something that is at your feet, something pointed at the driver like mine or the stock ones you speak of in the 6th gens are much nicer and get a nicer surround effect.

Wouldn't it be better to have something at the kickpanel rather than mounted in the stock placement in the door?? It's facing the driver on a better angle, is it not? (Sorry I don't know to much about car audio, just thinking in a common sense way).

The setup you have in your car is sweet, congrats!
I'm still leaning towards the tweeters 6th gen. style, and I was hoping to mount mids in the kickpanel area as well to replace the ones in the driver/pass. doors.
Do you know if the 6th gen. part will fit in a 5th gen?? How hard will it be to wire the tweeter?
