specifically, the back of the speaker basket in my 95 civic.

also, it seems that my car uses 6.5" for the front , would i be able to fit a 5.25??

Get a Dremel Multimax. Instead of a needle tool, it uses a fan-type blade that oscillates really quickly and cuts through thick plastic quick. Home Depot sells them.

Metal blade (obviously made of steel, but the one used for sawing metal, not wood) from Home Depot.

only you! can punch a "whole" through it, im not strong enough ;)



Plan A - the stupid speaker fits without any mods
Plan B - rent a dremel tool n try a DIY
Plan C - take it over to soundgood n call it a day ..

grab a knife heat it up. it'll cut right through that basket like butter. i've done this way for all the civics i've worked on.
