Actually, I've got a 4 gauge kit lying around so I'll probalyl use that lol.
Hahah i like the sound of the water.
Dont get me wrong ....big speaker wire is always best, but given the option of cutting up your car?? With the gear you're running Id just use the stock for the fronts and see how you go. When I was using my gear to compete in SQ comps i would never have used stock wiring ... but in my Euro I didnt want to mess with the car... so factory it is... and they sound fine :)
As for the terminals ... im not sure on the Integra wiring. Can maybe just google for the wiring diagrams.. or maybe use a cheap gauge to work out which is the power wire from the factory wiring.
Cmon boys...
were talkin mass produced hondas not genuine phase III or ferrari
get the drill out & put some decent cable in,then u wont have to worry bout undersized,understranded, multiple joined cables which are loomed up with lots of power, which u cant find the ends of in any case.....
lol, i know it's mass produced hondas.Quote:

1. the speakers aren't that great
2. he wasn't running a powerful amp to run em anyways.
if he was running a fantastic setup, sure, i highly recommend it to him.
if his not, i will say, change it if you can, if it's easy rah rah rah, but don't go killing people if you can't
lol
FUll DIY here.

Wow, great writeup! Much better than taking off my door and drilling into it :PQuote:

The last time i was rotating my wheels i removed the plastic guard in the wheel well to clear out all the leaves/dirt stuck in there, I noticed that you can access the same section of door that the stock harness goes in, and you have enough room to ease a drill in there.
Just remember to stay out of the way of the stock harness, rust-proof and use a grommet.
(edit: Just followed Bungsai's link, and saw that they have an alternative page using the same method as me. http://www.team-integra.net/sections...ArticleID=1119 )
I'd say that if you can fit the wiring in the harness like in Bungsai's link, and were confident about not damaging the harness then you should go with that. Looks better and no tampering with metal.
150wrms to each speaker is not 'that' small. How much power was your customer running through them?Quote:

It's f*&king tricky to pass the cable thru the loom on the drivers side; prob because im right handed, and theres more cables in the right loom due to the power windows/door controller etc.
With the DC2, i removed the side indicator lights and fed the cable down behind the quater panel so there's a little more slack in the loom. It makes the feeding part easier.
Drill thru the square plastic plug with a 6mm bit. I cant explain it without pics, but the whole assembly falls appart and unplugs from the door.
Hopefully someone has some pics of what im talking about.
Goodluck dude.
