Jesse Rizo You totally found your niche Jesse!! Btw I hate when cars pull up next to me and they are loud like that 😂 did you make merchandise? I see your shirt 👕

[@JesseRizo]

Lol the next videos coming I’m going to fix that :) the rattling is lowkey embarising lmfao, and I made like 3 different shirts some pens and some mouse pads and my friend made me stickers lol but I did it for fun lol thanks for noticing it :) lol

[@Gamersquadtttta]

@@JesseRizo yo man i got everything done but need to put the loc in. I got a problem the left rear wires are yellow and brown and the right rear speaker is blue and orange... Which is positive and which is negative??

[@jeremyvillegas572]

@@Gamersquadtttta not 100% sure but I think yellow=Posotive brown=negative, blue=negative and orange is for sure positive.

[@Gamersquadtttta]

@@jeremyvillegas572 I got it all figured out found a wire diagram online thank the Lord lol thanks tho man.

[@charliedajoob2246]

THANK YOUUU. I INSTALLED MY ENTIRE SYSTEM AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY BECUZ THIS VID !!!!

[@JesseRizo]

I appreciate u watching :)!!

[@bubsgarage]

I’ve installed a lot of radios in my time, and you did a really excellent job explaining all of the steps. Well done man!

[@zacharytorres3924]

This guy is the goat, I have never seen someone explain something so well

[@AmandaStyleBeauty]

This is so cool growing up I remember watching my brother install amps.. HE was obsessed with doing that, so I'm slightly familiar with the lingo.. lol! Dropping by to show some LOVE!

[@JesseRizo]

ITs a fun hobby 😎 lol ur probably better at installing these then me then 😂👍, thanks AMANDA 😁👍👍👍

[@brianduran5219]

Out of all the videos on KZbin this one was the one that was the most helpful, thank you!

[@JesseRizo]

Your welcome :) thank you for wqtching

[@TheJulianSparkman]

IK im three years late but you are a GOAT for this. And the removing the backseat video !!! Keep up the grind

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for that man!!

[@Smith5]

WOW! For $400 or less that’s a huge improvement over stock! Great detail in this tutorial I hope we can get some quality footage like this of the c6 👍 friction tape/loom tape definitely goes a long way in making the wiring look OEM.

[@JesseRizo]

Super friendly budget for a budget friendly good system I’ve heard people spend more and it sounds not as good lol, I hope so I want to see some videos on the c6 😎 lol, yes it’s awesome tape we use it a lot at work lol thanks for watching

[@WilliamCrawfordMDM]

mans pulled the radio out to only add the REM and not convert from there LOL, still great and I see why you did it, this vid will help me when I install either today or Thursday

[@jayco0048]

if you connect it from the dash can you run the wires straight to the amp or you absolutely need that special box that converts to rca

[@mattronan6284]

Great video. Please remember to seal the hole under the fender- as I kept getting water in my car and it came from that hole

[@Loafyymon]

i just wanted to say man that you explained everything great and in an awesome manor thank you so much i'm going to be installing my own sub woofer and amp in my 2013 civic soon enough and I've looked all over but everything was insanely confusing but the way you explained the process was super simple now i am looking forward to my set up.

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for watching :)!!!

[@unknownpencil6969]

⁠@joekeller3999 have you installed your subs yet I’m also trying to install subs into my 2013 civic and I’m running into some trouble

[@allthesorrow1]

Just a quick easy fix instead of using the remote wire on the OEM radio plug you can also plug the lead remote wire into the fuel pump fuse. Great video though Bro! 💯

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for watching 🙏🙏

[@ninjagodzilla6402]

Look here jesse.i have seen tons of these videos on how to hook up an LOC. i personaly think yours is the best.strait to the point.good camera views & not a bunch of blah blah blah about what kind of car i drive or or a bunch of distorted rap music playing &.well you get the point.thanks for a good tutoriol video on how to instal an sound system to a factory head unit.👍

[@JesseRizo]

I appreciate the positive feedback my friend I truly appreciate it :)!!!!

[@strengthbro0]

im halfway through bro. you answered literally 3 of my questions so far, and I don't even drive a civic. Awesome video

[@JesseRizo]

That’s awesome man I’m just glad I can help, Thank you for watching I appreciate it alot

[@strengthbro0]

A couple more questions I'm trying to find though are with my LOC, I want to connect it to my stereo wires. Do I just cut all the required wires behind the stereo and connect them with the LOC wires? And with speaker wires, Do I just bring them to each front/rear speakers, cut and connect? My setup is coming in a week, so I was just trying to prepare beforehand. Thanks for any input!

[@JesseRizo]

The loc just has to be connected to just rear speakers or just front speakers I connected mine to the rear speakers just because it was easier and I just connected the speaker wire directly to the speaker and the loc speaker wire straight to the speaker in the video I walk threw that process to hope that helps

[@strengthbro0]

I have a 4 channel amplifier and I want to power my front/rear speakers with it. To my understanding, the speaker wires run around the car to the stock stereo. If I connect the LOC to the front/rear speakers there, do I just attach the RCA cables to the LOC, attach the RCA to my 4 channel amplifier, and it should power the front/rear speakers? This confuses me because I don't understand the point of having 4 channels if I'm just going to use the RCA cables to power my speakers

[@KeyserReveal]

Very detailed installation instructions bro. Would you recommend installing a separate amp for your highs?

[@JesseRizo]

I would definitely recommended a separate amp only if you have upgraded your speakers if you did not then there’s no need for it you’ll just end up blowing your stick speakers but if you do upgrade your speakers (highs) and get a second amp getting the distribution block is highly recommended as well I talked about on this video,thanks for watching bro :)!!!!

[@Tyron.Dlamini]

Bro i watched many other videos and could not understand clearly but your video is super clear and easy to understand tanx bro

[@EveMeansLively]

Oh my gosh the trunk rattle from the bass! Thats crazyyyy You did a really good job of cleaning up the wires!

[@JesseRizo]

Sounds like the trunks gna break off 😂 thanks eve 😎

[@steelcitycaprice.899]

Great tutorial I must say I fully understand with the exception of one thing...when you tapped into the rear speakers for the amp does the remaining front speakers stay at factory level? Or do I tap into those as well.

[@StephieRem]

I’m currently doing this now. This video is very helpful. I’m to the point that I just need to run the power and ground wire then I’m done!

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for watching :)!!

[@jhonnygraciano5042]

Great video bro I have a Honda Civic 2012 Coupe ,and I would like to install the RF P3D4 12 , could I use the same installation?

[@joncarlos716]

I personally would of hide everything the converter, amp cables, plus I wouldn’t of cut the factory harness but instead use the metro harness connecters, and wouldn’t use tape but wire loom. It still looks clean though!

[@randabuffer6562]

Jon Carlos he’s not entering his car in a car show lol I always install mine the same way as him, never any problems in the past.

[@cakepower1]

For the part with the remote wire I believe you could have avoided removing the radio by putting a "add a fuse" to a fuse in the fuse box that only turns on with the car, I know this may cause a popping sound from the subwoofer depending on the amp type.

[@ml-fishing1341]

What fuse would you go into?

[@piffmanpat]

@@ml-fishing1341 ignition or headlights always works

[@alexismontecinos7702]

When you tapped in the to the rear speakers , you just tapped in to the wires that are connected to the harness or the actual harness?

[@fluffygamer1190]

This video is the BEST. I have a 10th gen civic would I need to take out my radio and tap into a wire for the remote to install a sub if I hook my remote wire to a fuse that is a power on only when the key is on???

[@aChooblet]

Great job, man! I love the video. I was wondering what is the inline fuse kit you used and also how did you secure the box in the trunk so that it does not slide around while you're driving? Thanks. Hope to see more Civic vids soon!

[@JesseRizo]

The fuse kit I got was just a basic one from amazon 👍 as far as the box I use L brackets and bolted the subwoofer down to the carpet spare wheel cover (the floor in the trunk) I forgot to record that part but that’s pretty much all I did Thanks for watching I appreciate that :)

[@ricks_life2046]

I have the same car. 2 12" punch 2's but about to install all new stuff. Massive Audio Torox 12's with Wolfram 2400.1 amp and new D5100R XS under hood and D3400R for trunk. XS Batteries. Big 3 all 0 gauge wire through out. So watching this helps .

[@menandrocanelo655]

thanks bro ! It helped a lot but you should also show everything you do more detailed as the high level converter instalation and how to trow the cables all the way to the back

[@JesseRizo]

You welcome bro, N I had it recorded just the video was to long so I cut some pieces out 😅 sorry about that and thanks for the tip :)

[@Ninja_Squidward]

So when connecting straight to the radio, did you just cut the wire in half, wrap the amp wire and radio wire together, and then taped it all back up? I’m planning on installing all this stuff for the first time by myself this weekend. And I’m trying to understand that part

[@colby7389]

Does it matter which wire you use from the rear speakers for the converter ?

[@user-cj6gb9jo7w]

About the high level converter connection im abit confuse, it looks like u taps the converter wire that stick out to stock deck speakers wire into T joint wiring style is it? Because i thought that the converter 4 wires that stick out suppose to tap to stock speaker wire, its like to convert it to be rca and connect to amp. And then get new wire and connect from amp and straight to rear deck speaker. Correct me if im wrong.

[@MrUptdc202]

Hey what good brand for amp and sub

[@Paul-PharaohTV]

This is awesome Jesse!! I am a complete moron when it comes to this stuff!!

[@JesseRizo]

Everyone can learn my friend :) thanks for watching

[@roqli2635]

on the high outut converter theres a yellow power wire.. could you just tap that to the amp power cable as well?

[@iconic1studio459]

Thank you for showing in a easy way to install a amp 🔥 🙏🏼 I’m definitely subscribing

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for watching :) and supporting

[@ashs8606]

i am thinking about adding an amp with after market speakers, my question is why did you not add similar RCA converter to the front speakers and is it possible to tap into the factory speaker wiring behind the stereo to get your front speaker RCA and rear RCAs....thanks Really detail video.

[@JesseRizo]

So sorry for the late reply, you can tap into ether and you can also tap into the wires behind the stereo I just found the rear most convenient and easiest to explain and I’ve heard people recommend doing it that way but you sure can do behind the stereo but I’d still recommend useing the rear speaker wire if u do it that way and thank you so much I tried my best so that means a lot to me :)

[@DavidGarcia-mt3gg]

Did you just use speaker wire to connect the converter to the speakers ?

[@khurrammughal5907]

look so well down and i have a question, i have same model but i have lot of stuff in the trunk because its my work car what u suggest if i put a 8 inch sub in between speakers does it give decent sound i mean without subwoofer box.

[@BearRara]

Would it be possible to add links to all needed items you used on this ? Like the wiring kit and tools

[@AllthingsStyledbyPam]

Hi Jesse!!! I am hear to support no skipping!!! Ooh yess I remember those days with the truck rattling become husband had me yelling at people after getting out of his car hehehe!!! Lolol!!! When you do a video you are prepared!!! I love it!!! I saw the screws you were talking about by your gear shift or under the radio!!! The plastic removal tool helped so you won’t mess up your screen!!! I’m glad you remembered to put the car in park lolol!!! Great idea for the distribution box!!! For adding more amps!!! Good point on grounding Jesse!!! Agreed check the work before complete reinstalling!!!! Wow!!! It looked cleaned you did a fantastic job!!! You are the man Jesse!!! I soo loved your video!!! Xoxo Pam 💝💝💝💝

[@JesseRizo]

Lol the good days, I try to always be prepared :) and thanks for watching threw it pam it means a lot :)!!

[@rubberducky531]

Dude honestly, I like your videos, very informative and detailed. Only thing I would say is to add a cheap 25 dollar mic to your amazon shopping cart lol some of the audio gets loud or way too soft at times and its hard to hear. Just a tip I guess for the future.

[@JesseRizo]

I appreciate that so much and if you ever have a suggestion for a video let me know 👍, and I know lol I actually have a rode mic but never use it lol😂 thanks for watching bro I really appreciate it

[@JoeWise-du1ho]

Now when you tap into the cars rear speakers does the amp give the cars factory speakers power sense your running into them? Cause it seems like that would be to much power for them .

[@NicoleRidgeway-xu6jb]

Should I bipass the original amp? I’ve read is effects the sound.

[@fierromulato131]

Tengo una pregunta como conectaste los RCA para el amplifier de las Bolinas traseras

[@jamesbauer3215]

Does it hit the lower frequencies when tapping the rear speakers

[@ismaelbelarbi7051]

I've watched your previous videos about the front and back speakers and it helped a lot using the old bracket before i was gonna buy one

[@JesseRizo]

thanks for watching

[@healy7103]

is the remote the purple one for every vehicle?

[@robertbelden7714]

Is it the same for the 15 civic si? Would i need that converter as well?

[@chowwow4950]

Ur the only one dat goes into details about this shit , very informative man ............ some of u other guys dat says ur professional don’t kno shit about details hey thank again man 👍

[@hallwayz1]

If you ever need to remove the sub box for any reason, you will have to unhook everything from the amp. That's why most installers don't hook the amp to the sub box. But it looks nice.

[@andrewciallella7703]

Why did you tap into the stock radio wiring harness for the remote turn on wire? In my opinion, it seems like a lot of extra work, considering you can buy a fuse tap and simply tap into the accessory fuse located under the driver-side foot well. Both are effective, but I am just presenting another method/execution.

[@Smokey.07]

Easy way to help trunk rattle is to lower the striker for the trunk just a little. Pulls it in a little tighter and is free 99

[@JesseRizo]

Now that’s a great trick thank you!!

[@Bobbrians]

If you just want to add a powered subwoofer, a powered line output converter with signal sensing remote on wire eliminates the need to pull the radio out. Look up a Scosche LOC2SL for an example.

[@babyjeff10]

New to all this. So is tha amplifier only powering the subwoofer? Are the speakers powered only powered by the factory radio?

[@shadthepokelad]

Great video! Really helpful but I had a question where did you put the ground to because I had it connected to the trunk but it didn't work until I ran one all the way to the battery in the engine bay

[@unknownkillerc]

I’m trying to Do this but would it be a better idea to wire this to the stock sub in my civic?

[@stevengarcia6349]

Hey man thanks for the video definitely was a BIG HELP! But I have one question if it’s a stick radio with no screen. Is it still wired the same way ??

[@bboytabz]

Same procedure for a Coupe Si I am guessing right?

[@layoychelocarrillo6558]

Should i get bass only out of the subs or voice to?

[@visualsofdev2946]

I miss my old system I had before I bought a new car! I’m thinking of getting a little one like this!

[@JesseRizo]

I bet man I use to have a full JL Audio system and man I miss that thing lol, Thanks bro for watching

[@allthingshockey9688]

My man pulled off on the side of the road to make this video 😂 i love it

[@JesseRizo]

Lol

[@jakeslouw7088]

Jesse i got the High Low audio converter with Rem wire but need to know if hav to correct the rem wire to head unit's one or just to the amp from converter

[@travyn08]

Do u have an installation video for 10th gen civic? And a video on hoe to install an aftermarket android 9’ inch screen radio? Thanks

[@jbmjbm323]

There is 1 little thing I hated about this good video. It was, you cut the factory wire to tap your remote and rca speaker out. For the remote wire, you could have d-pinned it and tapped into that wire that way and put the pin back. Or could have just stuck the wire in the back of the connector and tapped it so well that it wont come loose and the factoey wire would still be intact. Good job though on the video. Also want to mention if your Honda does not have a factory subwoofer, Honda's hves an ANC (active noise cancelling) Unit you woud need to disconnect cause that unit sends a noise to the inside speskers to try and cancel out road noise.

[@javiervargas3101]

Any chance you have the link of where you got your converter?

[@JesseRizo]

I don’t but just go on Amazon put your car and mod and type line output converter right after that

[@danle1153]

First off, your video is very helpful. Thanks for that. My question is, my car only has one rear speaker, how do I connect the converter into one speaker instead of two?

[@JesseRizo]

U can try the front door speakers

[@pardeepdhaliwal8798]

bro is it the same remote color wire for a 2012 civic? thanks

[@lotharp1]

Damn bro that was a nice install .. I’m about to install my system in my Nissan Altima and watch this video while I’m doin it for help lol your a pro bro

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for watching bro :) I appreciate that!!!!! Not a pro lol just done a couple installs on these so feel a little more comfortable being able to show how to do it now lol Thanks for watching

[@amadeoheron5948]

For the converter can i just tap into 1 speaker instead of 2 im just going to bridge the sub

[@colbycollett1319]

Would it be possible to put a rca bass control knob on the high level converter? My amp doesn’t have a bass control plug

[@dsaechoww6484]

do i have to run that exact converter if i’m using my stock stereo, and do yk if the wires are the same for your 2014 model (i have a 2015 civic)

[@hughmongus9969]

I have a civic SI that has a small factory subwoofer. Do I need the power converter?

[@jdawg3631]

Tapping into the rear speakers with the converter, do your rear speakers still work?

[@JesseRizo]

Yes 👍

[@ericgonzalez3163]

Can you post a link to the high level converter you used pls, I’m installing it on the same car and can’t find the converter online

[@carlosesparzavazquez4753]

Eric Gonzalez buy the scocshe converter at Walmart it’s like 20$ also come with bass control knob

[@jesuscaballero8850]

What kind of wire did you use to connect the back speakers to the converter.

[@tosvus]

Good video, but couldn't you also just use a LOC with Remote On output to simplify install? Thinking of having the Loc and Powered Sub in the trunk, with LOC connected to rear speakers (wires) and the only wire going to the front being power from battery. Thanks!

[@JesseRizo]

You probably can the only reason I did it this way is I only wanted my amp on whenever my radio was powered on so if was driving and turn off my radio the amp would also turn off just as if you installed the system on a aftermarket radio I wanted the same effect but I’m sure u can just I havnt done that

[@roncastillo5036]

does the converter need to be connected to power

[@rjcastano12]

If your car has a factory amp for door speakers do you by pass it or wire before or after it

[@roaignis]

Thanks for the video. It was very explained and detailed. Keep it up! I have a Honda civic 2014 ex with push start button. I followed all instructions, I bought even the same materials. This is the problems that I found: Everything was fine until I tried to turn off the car. I got stuck in accessory mode. I won’t be able to turn off the vehicle. Every time I need to unplug the negative terminal of the battery to turn off the car. I thought I blew off some fuse or relay, so I checked up every single fuse with a multimeter without finding the problem. Everything was good. So after searching online I replace the key fob battery thinking that was the issue. So I tried to remove just the fuse from the amp and everything was good, The car turned off. I reconnect the fuse from the amp and the I comeback the same problem. I disconnected the remote cable from the amp and car turned off. So I’m thinking that the connection from the remote to the radio is doing something wrong. Do you suggest to do something about it ? Or anyone could ? I appreciate your help in advance.

[@TheLaughingLion]

Pro install my friend, very easy to follow, well done, liked #13

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks friend :)

[@Cali_Man]

If I want to add another amp should I slice the blue cable from the trunk and make a 3 way for the second amp ?

[@joshuarodriguez4560]

Hey Great video thanks I got an 2015 SI and I want to know the purpose of the convertor and if I want to unhook the twitters and factory bass how do i do it thanks

[@chriscarbajal2847]

What’s up so i have a 14 accord. Was wondering if you knew, about the ANC CONNECTOR that needs to be disconnected or mic wires cut?

[@11kyo778]

Que marca de cableado usaste? Me podrias enviar el link de los cables, por favor.

[@jonathanalvarenga772]

Can I still do it if I have the normal radio not the touchscreen cuz I have the 2014 Honda Civic sedan

[@yungvelly530]

How did you remove the white clip from the harness 😢

[@Erocksoco]

Are the wiring harnesses the same for the 2015 LX model without the touchscreen?

[@JesseRizo]

That I’m not sure to be honest

[@Erocksoco]

@@JesseRizo no worries, the worst you could tell me was either no or you didn't know. I think the rest of the details for pulling the radio should be the same. If I do try to do this with my car I will let you know if they are for future reference.

[@Erocksoco]

Excellent video by the way, I subscribed just for the vids you did on the 15 model Civic.

[@JesseRizo]

Erocksoco yea my friend I’m sorry & sorry it took me a little long to reply lol, and yes please I’m curious to know now 😁

[@JesseRizo]

Erocksoco I appreciate that a lot man thank you!!!

[@tiggstah]

please disconnect the negative battery terminal when doing any wiring! for gp i decided to watch a few of these install vids on youtube as i have not installed anything in over 10 years and im amazed that every one so far fails on one other detail. DO NOT RUN YOUR POWER LINE ALONGSIDE THE SPEAKER WIRES. it's not a safety issue but it can add an electric whine in your audio.

[@PrecociousTurtle]

Thanks for this tutorial man! Appreciate you always sharing these helpful videos.

[@JesseRizo]

Thanks for always supporting :)!!

[@anglemati155]

Question are you playing Bluetooth music

[@edblanco54]

I wired it all like you bro but im barely getting any bass out of the sub, should i wire it differently since mine is an Si with the factory amp and sub?

[@khepramims9665]

how did you mount the LOC in the trunk?

[@JesseRizo]

Double sided tape

[@jimmyjunior4880]

Idk if you might see this but by chance could you send the link on where you bought that high level converter

[@shongxiong2346]

Do you know the color speaker wire for each of the front and rear speaker? Thanks

[@bigozbsu4439]

Ok but do i need to remove the radio if im gonna attach it to the rear speakers

[@erikavelar9488]

Hey man i want to do this to my car but im not sure if i can because my car has a factory amplifier do you think i could still add another amp with a subwoofer? Awesome video by the way

[@JesseRizo]

Sorry for the late reply, and on that I’m not 100 percent sure but I’m sure you can because most the time those amps that come in the car are for your highs (interior speakers) so if your adding another amp for the subwoofer is sure that would work 🤔

[@Mysteek]

How did you tap into the rear speakers?

[@89crazyeye]

What do I do if I have a factory subwoofer already I have 2015 civic si

[@thomas070881]

Why didn't you connect the other voice coil that's a p2 dvc sub ?

[@Ramonperez590]

Hi Jesse does the converter have to be connected to two speakers or it wil be fine connected to only one? Thanks hope you can answer this question

[@JesseRizo]

Two speakers my friend a left and a right side

[@stephangarcia9360]

should i hook up to back speakers or front? i heard front gives better loused harder bass

[@JesseRizo]

If I’m not mistaken front and rear gets the same output on these cars 🤔 as the radio throws out the same for the front and the rear but I’m sure you can do it on ether I did mine on the rear just because it was easier to access
