thank for the comment dude. in terms of the space, i mounted the amps so that i have enough room to put stuff in the boot. theres enough room for to slabs for beer so thats more than enough roo!:pQuote:

Even with my setup the boot spae is limiting. It's okay for a roadtrip for the weekend or carrying a bunch of auditors bags, but not much else. Carrying furniture when moving house is a no-no (even with seats down, my amplifier sits on the back of the seat so can't put things on it), and picking up my bodykit requires someone elses' car.
of corz...moving house u need a van man...hehehehe not an FD!
JaCe, do you think lifestyle ppl can install them so its easy to detach whenever you need it? My friends euro has similar installation to yours and he sed if he needs to pickup sum1 from airport, he just detach the cables and take the whole "Fake walls" off the boot... kinda handy eh?
My subwoofer is set up like that but the thing is; that requires me to undo the cables and detach the whole thing so I guess as a last resort I could, but it's more trouble than it's worth (easier just to drive my sister's car). Amplifier can't be removed though.Quote:

wait hold on..... who's complaining about space. the end of the day, if you want boot space don't do a custom boot. if your looking for more room strip everything out if you want.
what your saying; you have find a chick with big ****, but you complain they're too big.....
its an easy concept buddy, just quit complaining
lol! nice one ssr.
u have a good piont!
well what I sed is we should mod the boot in someway so you can enjoy your sound system and, when needed, you still can get more space.
well thats usually the reason why people place there amps on the backs of
there seats, or under the driver or passenger seat not even in the boot.
i use to have my amp under the drivers seat, but then moved it to the boot
then it comes down to the subs do u want 1 or 2 or some more lol
having 2 is awesome but one does a good enough job, personally i have
one 12" sealed and 2 amps in the boot can detach the sub at any time but
never need to cause i can move it around, mind you its not an FD boot.
but the thing is the FD boot is probly the same size as a CD5 accord boot..
just different shape lol

This is for a different car but some one might be able to tell me...
how do u wire up a high to low converter so u can run an amp of the stock head unit???
ive wired up everything such as power cables and remote wire jsut need to do this for the RCAs but car audio in hornsby wanna charge me 65 bucks just to do that little high to low converter what a joke...
Strathfield will do this for free... if you buy the amp from them :pQuote:

Yes, its quoite easy to remove the seat. look where the seat belts came from joint between the seat and back rest, there is a 10 mil screw which u need to take it out first in able to release the two clip under the seat. then it will be able to remove the seat easily. for the front engine, yes u can tidy up by putting all the cables into crimp tube...i did mine last weekend and run all the cables under the carpet..not an easy task, but looks more neat...Quote:

i'm upgrading the audio on my new fd and was just wondering if anyone had the wiring diagram for the wires that come out of the stock head unit and what they do?
i'm connecting a rockford fosgate 3sixty.1 and need to know which wires are for the speakers?
thanks heaps!
Did anybody get the optional "Bass works sound system"?
From the honda website -
Does this mean it replaces the standard rear speakers?Quote:
This audio performance pack includes two special low-frequency rear speakers, which guarantee high-quality sound in the lowest and low-mid frequency range. Applicable for all Civic variants.
and what is the control unit below?
where does it go?

imo for $500 its not worth it... you're better off getting something after-market... dealer didnt think that much of them either
$500 :thumbdwn:
there goes that idea,
thanks for the info
i got it for free when i had my FD. It was ok but so not worth it.
Yep i got the bass works speakers as well. Definitly can do better wth aftermarket parts... but since i got it for free... i think it sounds good. But definitly do aftermarket.
sorry for late reply, my HDD folders are mess up :thumbdwn:Quote:

awesome! cheers mate!
that must be the most complicated thing ive ever seen in my life
for everyone with splits, where did you mount the tweeters?
i'm trying to figure out where i want to mount them... the spot near the windscreen where the oem ones would go if i had them doesnt look like the best place to put it so i'm wondering what everyone else did...
OEM ones??? do we got OEM Tweeters now??? :eek:Quote:

how bout the oem spot??i rekon that wuld look nice and wont attract B*****Ds like thieves
i put mine in the tweeter bay next to the front windshield.....all u have to do is flip off the cover and there is a bracket to snug the tweeter in..i m using the alpine splits and they fit quite nicely...Quote:

4. we need the tweeter to face to us to get best sound.
:honda::honda::honda:
thanks guys... as what dmx said, it wouldn't sound the best using oem spot... gonna see how much it'lll cost to get professionally fittedQuote:

i'm going to be upgrading head units and want to get a double din - so i figure i might as well go with in dash dvd, with blue tooth, i-pod control, etc...
i've never bought anything no-name before... do you think i should spend a little bit extra and get something branded or should would the one shown above be sufficient?
cheers!
Too expensive... i bought one for my friend from ebay for $360 + 50 delivery... it even has GPS with Oz map, inbuilt TV antenna, usb and sd card slots, etc etc...Quote:

That's the biggest reason why I did it that way too.Quote:

its from Ebay DMX... but doesnt have the link to the product no more... I'll have a look later...Quote:

Also if any one is interested where to get the antenna adapter i got it from an AUS company http://www.egear.com.au/
Its called the Scosche Honda 2005 + Antenna adapter Part number is HAAB
I got my old ipod interface which connects to the stock head unit if any one is interested, its the USA spec hon2y which is the neolink which they have rebadged it to sell as neolink.
I hav an alpine unit i mine an u can keep the steerign wheel controls you need to add a PAC controller swi-jack is the model i am pretty sue pm me if you need one
thats very good price i have seen, but i've never heard the brandQuote:

^^^ bodas, I didnt get one... but my friend have it. Its ok for a non-brand product though... cant really find any problem with it... Its like... I prefer to buy this made in China product for less than $500 rather than buy a $1000++ pioneer which is made in Indonesia
i am scare of when you buy no brand or simlar cheap brandQuote:

FYI. OEM Honda single din drawer (not pocket) about $90-100
sony single drawer with AUX jack inside the drawer (for ipod ?) about $50-60 at supercheap auto (forget the series, i think Sony RM-700 ??)
arrr great thanks mate..
yer im looking to replace the stock HU in my FD1 but cant afford a 2din unit at the moment.
got a nice alpine single for it but didnt know if the 2din dash supported singles.
do you know if its possible to obtain wiring harnesses for the stock HU's? if i take out my stock i don't wanna snip snip my wiring just yet (even though i will probably rewire the car as i upgrade the rest of my gear)
;)

Im pretty sure someone has put in type R splits and they have 2" tweeters. Just need confirmation before i start buying.
anyone here DIYed their FD for sound deadening/sound proof like Dynamat? =)
I have about 25 sheets and a box of dynapad in mine
DIYed? got pics?
I have pics somewhere i did it myself but i am an audio installer
i see.. how much it usually cost if i asking a shop to install for me? =)
Simple DIY. pull apart car. sound deaden all panels with dynamat.. including roof... put car back together lol...
i used 3 bulk packs of dynamat.
yeah simple lol. Did you do the bottom of car?
Im about to get a quote on just front doors and the boot. It was estimated at like $900ish when i asked last time. DIY saves so much money but that's if you can be bothered.
well a bulck pack costs around 300.... it would do boot and doors... probly take 3 - 4 hours of your time.. can u justify paying 150 - 200 a hour to get it done?
omg.. since shop quote so high price.. how about i pay u.. u DIY for me with lower price? hehe.. =)
