and just to clear one thing up....on canadian car audio it says powere handling of the components is 130wrms...so is that 65wrms perside or 130wrms perside?

We're just here trying to help. You must mean GCA. I just figured it out.
The cf's are rated 130wrms per side.
I have a 175X2 amp on mine.

CG, rarely can you just pull stock speakers and just pop in the aftermarket ones. I've not seen mounts on your year honda, but honda usually has some sort of plastic basket the stock speak sits in that usually needs some dremel work to get aftermarket speaks in.
In my car I pulled the stock mounting bracket and made a new one out of mdf.
Please don't kid yourself that this is a five minute job.

^^^True. Most factory speakers (Especially Japanese cars) have three hole mounting systems. At the very least you will have to drill new mounting holes. I (like fever) had to make MDF mounting rings for my last 2 cars - '97 Toyota Tercel and '97 Subaru Wagon. Secondly, you won't want to use the factory wires.
It isn't difficult work to do, but installing my components in my Subaru took about 7 hours to do - (Yeah I'm a rookie - but 2 hours was just trying to fish the wire through the wire housing between the door and the car body
)
1.5 hours measuring, cutting and painting the MDF rings
1.5 hours running wires and mounting X-overs
1 hour in removing and re-installing door panels (I didn't have the proper tools, I could have saved at least 1/2 an hour here)
.5 hour clean up and systme check
.5 hour actually mounting mids and tweeters.

^And that didn't include deadening the doors (or did you forget to mention it?). There's a lot of work but its all good, except for that wire fishing part, that can really suck.
