Or like i did, upgraded to an AP2 radio (01 radio sucks),Got some speakers from best buy,i tested almost all of them looking for the best sound/price, and put some 4" behind the seats in the lower panel.Its good enough for me and i can hear top up or down just fine, and get to keep the dash controls.I spent $150 on all i mentioned above

I find that there are quite a few dealers who are not good at finding parts of the S. I am lucky enough that the guy I deal with at my local Honda dealership not only knows enough about the S (as well as the rest of the Honda lineup), he also recognizes the fact that I am a repeat enough customer to do what he can to find what I need.
There are parts guys and there are parts guys. There is a certain intellect required to be good at it. Speaking as an old parts guy.........

You have already been provided information as to a pair of speakers that will fit into the OEM baskets as well as the cost of replacement baskets if necessary. Speakers however are only 1/3 of your problem. If you want a bit more sound, you will need to purchase a better head unit and that's the bottom line. The laws of physics do not cease because you want to maintain Honda OEM equipment.

like you i dont want to cut the plastic for any reason.
i did however add roll hoop speakers through some guy in eugene oregon. he makes the templates and sells em. they are poormans s-pods. they were like 65 shipped and of decent quality.
Also if you dont want to cut but do want speakers in that panel. you could buy a second set of panels, normally can be had for under 35 shipped, and cut those while keeping your originals.
