FACTORY SPEAKER PODS just not HOnda...

Ok, sorry for the wait.
The speaker pods are from a 97 Isuzu rodeo. Not sure the body years but I'm thinking if the isuzu has the pods then maybe the passports have them too..
Ok so these came out of a 97 isuzu rodeo. Get the pods and the mounts.
Take off your headliner for fitting and running wires. It's super easy, do it once and you could open a headliner removing shop. My girlfriend and I did this installation in an afternoon. But like I said, do it once and you could do it again in a half an hour.
1. wire up your rear speakers and run the wiring up the pillars and back along the side roof railing and come out at the end near he hatch with about a foot of extra wire.
2. unbolt the inner nut on each side from the hatch mount bolts. grab your isuzu speaker mount and fit it up to that bolt using the rear bolt hole on the mount. it bolts right in and you only need that one bolt in the mount, when you tighten it up and do your reinstall you'll see that, that one bolt for the mount does plenty good.
3. do all your wire/mount/speaker fitting now and test your wiring/speakers while the headliner is off. Everything work? ok take your speaker back off, take your mount back off and reinstall the headliner, just slide it back in and clip the front pillars back in and put your visors back on to hold it up in the front, it's all you need, it's not going to bend or bow.
4. at first, poke little holes in the headliner where your hatch bolt where your mounting your speakers is and test fit your mount. I had to slowly cut out the area till the mount fit enought to safely thread the nut back on the the hatch bolt. <<Take your time here, make sure you got a solid thread on that bolt before you sinch it down. if you strip that bolt you'll have to stop, take your hatch off and switch the mounts(not a bid deal but time consuming)
5. if you want to throw your speakers on the mounts real quick and check them out and bump your sweet new loud almost free system for a while go ahead, I did. but ok take the speaker backoff the mounts and continue/finish reinstalling your headliner and plastics(the pillarplastics won't fit around the speaker pods so you must put the plastics back on whilest your pods are off and out of the way. You would have figureg it out but I'm trying to save you some time.
6. ok so your headliner is reinstalled, your Oh-Shit handles and visors are reattached, your plastics are back on, you're ready to one last time atach them speakerpods to the mount. uses two 10mm bolts and your done.
You now have enclosed rear speakers that are out of the way and solid/reliable.
If you have any questions, or comments please feel free to ask.
