For now I only have a layer of dynamat xtreme liner under the carpet. It's a discontinued item now, but its a very thick deadener with lead in it. And I noticed a huge road noise reduction with it added, I want to dynamat extreme the doors and hatch just haven't got the funds right now being on the unemployment line.

 

Hey man you did a great job with your install. I am planning on installing components up front and coax in the back. Im curious, are the adapters that honda used for the stock speakers identical for front and back?

 

I think they are just terminals, can't really remember since I amplified everything I didn't even use the stock wiring.

 

So when can I make my appointment for my install lol

 

Well if you didn't live so far away I'd say whenever you have the gear and are ready. I still do install work and I don't charge near what shops do :P

 

I was actually referring to the plastic housing of the speaker, but i took all my door panels off tonight and saw they were identical. It looks like Im going to need to redo the wiring for the front anyhow because of how my components are. The rears I could use stock wires but itll bug me that the fronts and backs arent the same. How hard is it to take off the b-pillar plastics so that i can get to the grommet to the door?

 

The fit interior is easy as pie to get apart, compared to most cars I have worked on.

 

Is it just more of those red pressure clips? or are there any suprises i should watch for so I don't break?

 

you seems know alot about car stereos...
i was just wondering i have a 09 fit w/ nav, and i want to run my own wire for my sub and stuff but my question is there any other part i need to buy in order to hook up my sub to my nav head ???
is the breaker under the hood is a must ?

thanks in advance

 

A fuse or breaker within 12" inches from the battery is always recommended.
For the factory Nav unit, you will need a LOC (line output converter) and i would recommend a good high quality one such as RE-Q or this
Products

If you just adding a sub/amp, get that 2 ch LOC and wire the LOC's inputs spliced into your rear speaker outs, either from the back of your HU or directly to the speakers -/+ terminals. Remember your going to splice into those wires meaning tap into them so the speakers are also still connected of course. This will give you the output needed to run RCA's to your amp. it's quite simple to do actually.

 

well i just ordered the loc thingy but i still wonders is there a special tools to take a part the plastic trimming and stuff arround the car???
sry im new to diy scene

 

You can use a panel puller and a pick tool kit, both should be available from either an auto parts store or home depot/lowes. The panel puller is about $10 and the pick tool kick is around $20 for a good set, $5 for a cheapo one.

 

Amazon.com: Quick Splice Wire Tap Connector 22-18 Gauge (Red) - 100 Pack: Automotive does this work well for the splice you were talking about earlier ?

 

Wanna sell your OEM speakers

 

I wouldn't mind selling mine, pm me.

 

How much would you consider selling all speakers including the tweeters to 90650?

pm sent...

 

How big are the tweeters you glued into the mounts? I was planning on doing something similar

 

Most tweeters in components these days are around 1", I don't recall the exact size of mine but they fit relatively easy with very little modification. Be sure to use HIGH temp hot glue if you do what I did, or you can use 2 part epoxy so they stay put.

 

Ok new sub came in and while waiting for Fedex's lazy azzes I cleaned up my wiring a bit more. And you can see the new sub in here too











My order of carpet comes in monday, so everything will be nice and matched up on Monday.
