    Factory sub / rear deck question.

    I installed that JL amp in mine, I have an ex coupe with the premium sound, I have 4 JL TR-650 CXi in doors and rear deck, a JL HO110-W6v3.in trunk. I have registered 121db with the app on my iPhone. Also, I would always put a sub in a ported box. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Speaker wire

    I don't know for sure but, I thinks the stock speaker wire is less than 18 gauge, I ran new 16 gauge to all. I found going down the passenger side with all easiest. Be ware The bottom door piece has a hook modeled into the back end of it, I broke it. And the doors aren't easy. Sent from my...

    Harness adapter wiring guide is lying to me. Where is the front speaker wire??

    He might not be, stick up head up under the dash, the wires go through another plug and the colors might change there, if memory serves I thought the same thing, follow the forum link that webby gave u in the other post for the colors at the amp or radio. Here's the link to the post with all the...

    Factory amp location? (2012 Civic EX Sedan)

    I mounted my amp under the dash in the same location as the factory. I have not had any issues with it getting too hot. Here is a link to my build post. http://9thcivic.com/forum/threads/2...-system-upgrade-build-post.15052/#post-407539

    I don't own a 3D printer. A guy I work with, his brother in law has access to one. He printed for me. I just watched a YouTube video, this guy reviewed one, it only cost $180. I have thought about getting one. I think here's the link. View: https://youtu.be/ispolAHB4jA Why did it add the...

    2014 Civic Coupe Premium Stereo System Upgrade build post

    I don't recommend plugging the pins into the plug, I broke one off, never got it out (one of the smaller pins, I think it was a front speaker) I ended up abandoning that harness and running all new speaker wire. Also the blue wire is the remote that I used to turn on the amp. (Pin13) Sent...

    500-600 watts RMS too much?

    I'm not sure the max output of the cars alternator, but if you use ohm's law, your amp at 600 watts is going to add an additional 42 to 50 amp to your cars system. Watts/volts=current. That would be 42 amps at 14.4 volts or 50 amps at 12. I ran my JL 700/5 and measured my system ~ 70 amps. With...

    Replaced torsion bars with hood springs

    I just got 60 & 80lbs supports in mail. The 60 hold more firmly, but still let the truck fall if not full open. The 80lb hold the lid open til about half, then it will fall shut. I'm leaving the 80 installed. And yes the torsion bars are hard to get out. I used the handle of my channel locks...

    It is the same part number for all, just select the size (lbs) you want. I did install two. One each side. And I didn't cut any liner just folded it under. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Replaced torsion bars with hood springs

    I found some short lift supports at McMaster Carr, they are only 6" long and have 40lbs of force. They don't lift the trunk, but they hold it open and snug right up under the rear deck. I order some different supports last night, 60 & 80lbs, want to see if they will lift it. I'll give an up...

    Lights dimming

    I was playing my new system loud for about 20-30 minutes, running down the highway about 70 at night and noticed my lights dimming. I have a JL 700/5 amp, so it can possibly draw 58 amps. I figured I was running off the battery maxing out the alternator. Can any of you post some links to...
