FD civic electrics not working

[simonhaha]

ive plugged wveryrhing in and still not working...

[fitme]

I pulled the plug out of the HU intending to feed my wires more neatly, while doing that my hand did make quite a big movement as i was took the plug out. When i plugged it back in... it didn't work anymore.

while doing this..im assuming that you disconnect the battery right?

sorry if im not helping but im just making it sure that its not gonna happen to me...

[simonhaha]

nope i didnt disconnect the battery, which i should have..

Anyways, i called a mobile auto electrician to come out to have a look at the car, turns out that it was one of the fuses under the bonnet,, not sure which one... Cant believe i missed it. Payed the guy $150 to put a fuse in there.

ANywhhooos the headunit works well, but it get sooo hot at the back of the headunit, burns fingers...
Why could this be?

DOes the civic come with any factory amps or my headunit cant handle the power thats comming through?

[fitme]

^ no factory amp...btw just check the fuse rating,..did he replaced it with the same amperage?..btw what HU did you use?

[simonhaha]

im using a basic sony headunit with 3rca outs,

think the fuse should be fine, not sure if its normal.. the HU runs fine and i dont smell any smoke
does anybody know if aftermarket 6.5 speakers will fit in the doors without any spacers? before tearing out my door

how bout the rears, why da hell are they 6.5 too lol, will 6x9s fit there?

[fitme]

6.5 will fit and you definitely needs a spacer on front and rear....you cannot fit the 6x9 on rears unless you modify the panel cover

[simonhaha]

cool,

Hey fitme, do you know how to remove the rear seats? I cant find the clips that your supposed to pull under the bottom seat comer, unless there isnt supposed to be one?

I was working on my sound system today, and when i was hooking up my 2 amps speakers and amp, my sub worked and my speakers worked. When i was figuring out why my right speaker wasnt working, i tried to wire it up and suddenly my left speaker wasnt working anymore...

Any ideas?

[fitme]

^ there are 2 clips that you need to pull towards to your front seat to unlock (not upwards)..be careful with this clips because it can easily be damage..btw there is a bolt near the middle seatbelt lock



what amps are you using?..how did you connect the rca from your HU to your amp?

[simonhaha]

couldnt manage to get the rear seat off by anyways... ive got the amped subs and speakers going, and banging beats.

after 2 whole days of molesting my civic its finally been done!

wired the rcas and power cable under scuff plates and carpet and away from each other.

since my 6x9s dont fit at the back im going to go out to buy some 6.5s for the rears!@!

[hiepness]

Yeh familiar story, usually its one of the fuses... nothing big.
