How did you run your 12v lead through the firewall to your amps?

well 1st of all... how did you guys get the door panel out? and how in the world do i take the speaker in front out... well im planning to run the front speaker to the amp. SO far cant seem to take the speaker out... how did u wired ur front speaker back to the amp?

[Jesse02SI]

Well unfortunately all I am NOT stereo nor mechanically inclined sO I pay people to install my thought of evil modifications..

I will post either phone number or website and maybe even the price by this evening I have to stop by the shop.....

what size are the rear speakers i want new ones also if the front speakers are in with clips not screws how can i put new ones in???

[Silver '02 Si]

to get this done i took a 4 ga. cable and a wire hanger...next go up under drivers side dash...there is a hole on the kick panel near footrest...take that hanger and carefully wiggle it through to the front of the car...it will appear between the fender and the engine compatment...trust me, no easy task but it works...but it hides just about all of the cable...the hard part is all the plastics that need to be removed on the way to the hatch...good luck.

HAHAHAH i did that too with my wireing..... right now the front are not wired to the amp...and i dont wanna mess with the door panel cuz i already fucked up =( is there a safer way to open the panel??

[Silver '02 Si]

yes there is....first of all, if you are going to amplify your stock door speakers, tap into your wiring harness for the deck...repeat: the deck not the car...take your harness from deck, wire to harness adapter, cap off speaker outputs from deck and run your wire from the adapter to the amp. any???? simple stuff really, just need to know the short cuts!!! good luck, let me know if any more ???

[02CivicSI-VTEC]

well yeah i already know that.. but the thing is that when i try to open the deck , i mean the dash... there one srew that was tighten very hard and every time i tryed it kills the head.=( im affaird i might warn out the head....

[02CivicSI-VTEC]

OH yeah, if ya lookin for the dash kit they are selling it at BestBuy....i got mine from there

[Silver '02 Si]

thanks for the best buy tip...on the "head" is that the deck or the screw head? screws no biggie but yeah the more you take the deck in and out the higher the risk of damage. hope no deck damage yet............p.s. is that the specific Civic Si dash kit? what'd it cost ya?

[02CivicSI-VTEC]

[02CivicSI-VTEC]

well actually my friend went to best buy the other day and asked for a head kit for 01 civic...and he asked them if they had it for the new SI and they said they did.... and iono how much it cost...
im not planning to change my head yet... i wanna leave it stock.. so pplz wont steal my shit..

positive battery terminal to positive cap terminal, negative cap terminal to chassis ground. positive cap teminal to positive amp term. amp groung to chassis ground...to link two caps together, run positive batt. to positive cap 1, neg. cap 1 to pos. cap 2 neg cap 2 to chassis ground. make sure to use resistor to charge caps if not "smart" caps...1000 watts per 1 farad cap...if more than 1000 watts use both.
