2022 Honda Civic Sport stock speakers upgrade, JBL GX628

My first content made ever for KZbin! I replaced the stock speakers of my ‘22 Civic Sport with JBL GT628s…

Love to see new creators popping up at the top of my searches! I hope KZbin treats you well!

nice right shoulder install

[@themaineadventure4687]

What's up Bro. I have the same car and have been following 717 projects also. Good video man, you got a new sub. I bought new JBL to install also and I am trying to wait for speaker wire adapters because my luck as soon as I cut the factory wires they will be available. Adapters or warm weather which ever comes first haha.

913 in the house. 🤙🏽 I bought my 22 Civic Sport back in October and I’ve been looking into upgrading my speakers, along with possibly a subwoofer.

[@na.custom2273]

Right on!

[@SPLITTINIMAGE]

It’s an awesome car but the speakers are completely garbage from the factory haha, I’ve got a 24’ Sport Hatch 6mt

[@nickcheatham6289]

I got a 24 sport hatch 6mt too and think the same thing. Gonna probably go this route and replace the door speakers before getting a subwoofer.

[@Windyhillfarm71]

You forgot to mention the rear speakers are 5.25” and did you turn the tweeter on the rear speakers, great video

[@wanaraz]

Great job and thanks for exposing me to better speakers. The speakers in that were already Bose right? Or no? We have bose in our model but I suspect the magnet is tiny like the stock one you pulled out.

[@zstampe]

Dang, just realized you're local too. Good stuff.

[@gregcarroll2728]

I modified the factory speaker mount to accommodate the new speaker. I also used the the factory connectors. Just need a cutting tool to cut out the factory speaker and connector, then mount new speaker and solder leads onto factory connector, plug and play install.

[@na.custom2273]

Nice, after I started I thought to myself that that would have been an option if I had a dremel… and patience!

I just ordered 4 of them with 800 watt amp and have a woofer box with 750watt and 800 watt. Can't wait to get it installed.

[@na.custom2273]

Wow, sounds like a lot of power, is that 800W peak or rms? Also interested on how you do your inputs? Line out converter to RCA or does the amp have speaker line inputs?where are you gonna tap into? I like to see that, for the sub I want to put in soon!

Driveway mechanics unite ✊ Even through my cell phone speaker I can't tell the bass response is so much better. Definitely considering this upgrade for my EX. Where was yours manufactured? Mine from here in Ontario gets the piano black trim on the doors, though after a few years might look like crap if I'm not careful. How well did all the trim go together after all is said and done? Great work on the vid btw 👌

[@sey1yes2]

Great instructional video! Definitely encouraged me to go ahead with installing four speakers in my Civic!

[@mikedisco]

Thanks for the video. I know it's hard to tell through the internet, but for some reason I can just tell that the sound is better from this video . Someone earlier mentioned maybe not putting in those speakers with the tweeters built in because of stock tweeter. Did you notice anything sounding weird? If you could do it over would you use just straight woofer / speaker without the built in tweeter? thanks again

Great video man, I have the same car as well and I'm trying to do the same with my speakers. Did you order a certain set with all 4 speakers included or did you order two sets of 2? Thanks!

[@na.custom2273]

By the pair. Thanks

[@Mr._Steal_Your_Squirrel]

Great video man and thanks for the walk through! One question though. If you are installing two way speakers, isn't that essentially like having twice the amount of tweeter? Wouldn't it be a better idea to install component in the doors and just use the stock tweeters? Just curious as I have a 22 sport and am getting ready to install speakers myself. TY in advance!

[@na.custom2273]

You are correct to assume that it will be too much tweeter but in research the factory tweeter is wired in series after the door speakers so the draw from the that channel is minimal and doesn’t overpower the door 2way speaker. The factory tweeter is not very powerful and is actually a good blend with the doors. IF you ran an amp and put more power to all the speaker I would think your theory would be more noticeable. If I was to to go with an amp I would definitely go with a “top line” series component set, probably the correct option for a BEST sound setup. Mine is definitely in the BETTER option..hahaha!

[@Mr._Steal_Your_Squirrel]

@@na.custom2273 Thank you brotha, I appreciate it! I think I will go ahead and just install 2-ways to make it easier. Next project will be an amp and subs using an output converter. Any chance you might do the same and upload? Take it easy sir.

[@na.custom2273]

@@Mr._Steal_Your_Squirrel yes, I been looking for the best inline preamp option and where to tap in. So far someone suggested right behind the factory unit and I did see video about that this week posted but haven’t gotten to it yet. Been busy with a project truck and other mods for the Civic. But I do hope to get that content made, appreciate the follow and encouragement!!

[@robertmedina3195]

You are correct. You definitely don't want to install coaxials in conjunction with the factory tweeter. For starters it's not going to be timber matched and two, imagining will be weird. The factory location is one of the best options.

Thank you for the video, did you need any kind of amp, and if so was it already wired into the JBLs? Was it just plug and play? (Except for the little bit of wiring, but I’d consider that plug and play as well, im more so asking was anything else other than the speakers and wiring needed to have it work) Im pretty knowledgeable mechanically, but the audio systems are completely new to me, thank you for your time.

[@bankieishere6577]

great install man! glad to see the newer gen has a little more ease on installation. I have a 2018 SI and i HIGHLY recommend some sound deadening material since you'll start to pick up on rattling and maybe a small amp to help those GX's out. Have fun boss!

My brand new 2024 Civic Sport stereo is Crap. No matter how much I play with the EQ, it sounds like there's a 'film' over the sound, like an old movie that needs to be remastered. I don't have the skills/tools to do it myself. Does it void the car warranty in any way if I have a shop do it?

hey man great video, I have a 2022 honda civic hatchback and im looking for new speakers, do our cars have the same speaker size dimensions and if so i would love to buy these, please get back to me thanks.

[@DaKurupt19]

How do they sound bass wise compared to the old set? Any door rattles before or after?

[@na.custom2273]

No rattles, I made sure the speakers and the brackets were flush. With the foam gaskets there is no issues. The bass has less distortion and bit more rich. Only using the power of the stock radio so bass is really not something that can be truly regarded in just replacing the door speakers. You will always needs a sub in this configuration if you want to hear and feel some bass. I have a low profile Pioneer 10” sub I plan on installing in the near future!! Hope that helps, otherwise I suggest a good set of components with an amp if you want more bass out of the door speakers.

[@DaKurupt19]

Hi. I would like to put a whole new audio system in the car, unfortunately It is a lease. So I think my better option (to avoid modifying the car) would be just replacing the factory speakers... I alredy have 2 jbl pairs. The only thing that's bothering me Is the fact I need to drill those little holes for the mount adapter. Do you think this will affect my lease when i need to return it?

[@aaroncruz8119]

They won’t know, nor will they check for speaker upgrades. As long as you don’t add a sup or amp

[@xJADD]

@@aaroncruz8119 oh ok thanks.. i dont even think in leaving them. i will put it back to stock before returning it. My worry is about them checking behind the door panels.

[@sergiomata2744]

Did you need to install an aftermarket amp for these?

[@irvinuriel5431]

I don’t think so but they say it’s way. Better

[@Frostytaco117]

Hey, I had these installed professionally and there are problems. Lots of popping noise and cracks at higher volumes, especially songs with more bass. These speakers are 2.3ohms, the installer said 4ohms are recommended for the 2022 civic. The speakers were pulling too much power from the factory radio unit causing it to overheat, and would cause the radio to shut down all speakers leaving with me no audio at all. Beware guys they are still trying to fix these issues with me, if they can’t be fixed I’ll have to get new speakers or re install the factory ones. These do sound good when they work, lacking bass tho.

[@na.custom2273]

Sorry to hear that, I haven’t had any issues. The rears definitely don’t draw as much power as the fronts but that is more of the power output from the factory radio (which has no aftermarket option). The answer to your issue if the installer is correct and didn’t cross wire anything is to add a 4 channel amp and properly re-distribute the with hi-pass eq and add another amp and sub in the trunk, curious to hear what they find

[@Frostytaco117]

@@na.custom2273 I ended up getting 2 sets of Kicker CS 6-1/2 to replace the JBLs. So far no problems. The sound on the JBLs are definitely better especially the highs compared to the Kickers. I also got the kicker 10” hideaway sub/amp installed under my seat by the BestBuy AutoTech. The installation was only $130. It was a very clean install. The kicker speakers plus the sub make up for everything compared to the JBLs. The extra bass right under my seat is a real pleasure. Wish the JBLs would have worked in my car with Kicker sub, but the Kickers def sound better than the factory pairs.

[@cristiancanoh2954]

What about the pillar tweeter? is impossible to replace with components speakers.

[@na.custom2273]

Actually not, the guide I got from Crutchfield shows how to take the pillar off and connect a tweeter. You will need a glue gun to fasten the tweeter down and splice the line to wire but the guide tells you what each wire is. The current setup has the tweeter wired in parallel and to add components the crossover should be able to be tucked inside the door panel. I kinda skipped over that when researching since I was just replacing the doors. If I ever decide to upgrade again it will be the Full Monty with components and amp!!
