I remember in my 95 Civic Hatch that there was wire ran and left sitting behing the paneling back in the back seat. You may want to check around to see if the wire was ran, but never used. Could be an easy solution to your problem.

All Hondas have all 4 speaker wire sets run, look around the OEM speaker locations for the wires
I'm not sure but I think your 95 came with a dummy cover over rear speaker locations just above the left and right rear seat armrest spots.
You would have to replace the covers with the grilled ones, and add the speaker mounts if you want to place speakers in the OEM locations.
hope this helps. 94

Unfortunately they don't have the diagram and information on installing speakers into the civic though they have it for installing the radio.

Yeah lol, the wires /are/ there and all that good stuff. I just don't have the mounts or the grills and thats my only real downfall right now. I just need to get ahold of them or find another solution.

I plan to start doing the junkyard thing for the grills tommorow, but are there any other places (online or whever) that I could aquire atleast the tan grills for the rear deck? Cause the speakers don't need the cages to be mounted, I figured this out earlier today.. one would drop them in the holes from above rather than puting them in the cage from below.

No it's not a hatch. It's a 4dr Sedan. The speakers can mount right onto the frame, and as far as the grills I might just use the ones that came w/ the speaker.. Since they'll all be the same size and I won't be changing speaker sizes anytime soon it should be ok. I was told by someone else it would work out fine, plus lol I don't think I want to do the junkyard thing anymore.

Moreover, that Metra site didn't work.
