Default rear speaker mounts/ wind break

Ive just bought these and awaiting delivery.




Speaker mounts and wind deflectors built into the roll bar.
look standard and apparently good quality,
with a decent aero screen it should cut the buffeting down at speed

A guy in the States makes them which allows you to mount a speaker in the roll over hoops without the need for cutting.

Here's his site link.

Streets Mart Technologies

I looked at them not long ago, but felt they were a bit over priced.

You could mount a pair of rear speakers behind the seats in the panel which has the two "hooks" on it. If you don't want to cut up your existing panels, get a spare set from a breakers.

Looks good to me.
It will blend with the car quite well, don't like the idea of cutting panels.

The ability to put the choice of speaker is quite good, the OEM Honda ones for the headrest look a little wimpy to me.

So for

Those will be the infamous S Pods. THey work well. But I found them a bit flimsy.
I did my own! On two of my S's. I've also had the 06 with inbuilt roll hoop tweeters and the 05 with seat speakers. I have to say I preferred the very first set up with my DIY S Pods and component speakers amped up

that depends on how you set them up!
I leave them well down just boosting the higher frequencies for a bit more top down clarity.
Yeah I know contradiction in terms!
