Does anyone make aftermarket ones? Or do I first need to get the roll hoops w/ speaker mounting stuff from Honda ... THEN go buy some speakers and do the wiring?

Thanks,

One optoin S-Pods, very pricey but IMO worth it. http://www.streetsmarttechnologies.net/

 

Hmm, I was thinking of something like that too. But it looks like the S-pods only give you one channel behind your head (a 6" and a 1" speaker) instead of stereo.

Or ... do folks union the L+R signals into one for the rear behind-the-head setup? If so, how?

You can get them to play in mono if you use a separate amp and run it in mono. You cannot combine the L and R speaker outputs of a head unit.

 

Just to make sure you're clear on this before you find out the hard way:

You can't remove the roll hoop covers and put them back on the roll hoops. The halves are MELTED together with a hot wire and not clips or screws. No glue known to man holds them back together once opened.

If you pull the covers off some '06+ roll hoops and then pull your covers off, you'll be unable to install the covers on your car because they won't hold together. You will have ruined both sets of roll hoops and need to order complete replacement hoop+cover assemblies unless you like the nekkid hoop look.

Yeah, that super-strong glue or epoxy or whatever you're thinking of right now that would be perfect for the job? It won't work.

 

Yeah, mine were "removed" before I got the car and they don't really go back together well. I have heard of people using adhesives with success though.

Regardless, mine have already been removed so I'm not "losing" anything there.

Not too sure what you mean but on mine currently I an amp and on the left channel I push the floor speakers and the right channel I push both the speakers in the S-Pods. I plan on getting a good 4 channel amp soon to be able to get the ability to adjust levels for front / back and left / right.

 

why do you need these roll hoop speeakers, a proper setup front stage will work, good speakers, with good amp, and sound deaden the doors, you car will sound great with top down.

 

I'm pretty sure there's someone on the Bay Area For Sale forum selling a complete set of 06+ roll hoops with intact covers and stock speakers.
