By hardboard do you mean a heavy cardboard? Not any room in the chrome retainers for more than 1/8" or so before vinyl. If you are making "factory" style panels, I think using clips between the board and vinyl to anchor it will show through the vinyl in short time, it'd also be difficult to remove later-maybe not...
I used screws for simplicity and have grey apholstery screws I'll use after the panels are repaired.
I think you'll need to consider speaker support in making your panels; a heavy cardboard may not hold 'em for long
