If I understand the question through the typos and grammar - you want to install full range (or coaxial) speakers to replace the sail panel subs? If so, then bmnicolosi is correct, you can eliminate the hatch speakers and run the hatch speaker wires to the sail panels for full range signal.

What does adding the stealthbox have to do with the rear speakers?

so your saying that the speaker plug will reach to the sails? and if so I guess this mean that the hatch speakers will be deleted...will it make a noticible difference?

Well, sort of. The harnesses that include the hatch speaker wires run down each side of the car but they are wrapped up with other wiring. The hatch speaker wires can be made to reach the sail panel area but it involves cutting the wrapping of the wire harness so that you can pull them out of the larger harness. The other option is to use some wire to extend the speaker wires from the hatch up to the sail panels.

If you install full-range or coaxial speakers in the sail panels then you will not need (or even notice) the disconnected hatch speakers.
