Air Bags in AA-pillar

[markn02]

Hey, im new to this forum and just bought an 05 mazda 3 hatchback. Im looking to do a custom sound install but Ive heard talk about there being side curtain air bags in the a-pillars. Is this true, because I am wanting to mold 2 speakers off the A pillars. Which would require taking the trim pillar off and cutting a couple holes into it.

If it says SRS at the top of the pillar than yes you do, i have an 06 3 hatch and have thought about doing that myself but realized that the bags get in the way so instead i put my tweeters in the sail panels and am getting ready to put 3" dome midranges just above the door speaker where i have a door pod with a 6.5 right now. but good luck with it.
