How to install subwoofers on 11th Gen Civic

[@kuri831]

It's highly recommended you wire the signal cables and power cables on opposite sides inside the cabin to reduce signal interference. Great video tho, I'm installing mine next week. didn't realize how valuable the pry tools are going to be

[@mikedisco]

WELL, Thank you for this video. It's showing me that I will NOT be doing this lol. I was in so much pain when you had to rip off the front vent grill , then the radio, im like AHH that hurts. I just got my car so it's in pristine condition and I don't want to risk damaging anything , not even a tiny scratch. but man looks like a lot of work. I hope your system sounds good. Im hoping one day they come out with wireless subwoofers and problem solved cause I don't need 2 15s in my trunk, I just need something a little more then stock cause its there's not much bass at all. Thanks again for this video man. nice job.

[@chrisdesimone4249]

Appreciate the detail, ordered the same harness. I got the Infinity self powered 8's x 2 on Amazon this week for like almost half price so I figured I would try. I also didn't want to deal with a big box in the car. I need to be brave like you and take the plunge lol

[@Karmine_c]

Sweet let me know how they sound! No issue with smaller subs because they arent all made equal

[@BrianRides]

Let’s go the video I was looking for! Was going to take my car to the shop but now I’m going to do it myself

[@Karmine_c]

Happy I could help!

[@irzyxelwj]

If you're going this far, there's better options. Obviously they cost money. But props for doing what you can. That's how it starts.

[@K_Vang23]

Thank you. I followed this video along with another KZbinr and finally got my amp and subs installed today, it took me 5 hrs.

[@nonyabiznes248]

i paid a local sub shop and it took 2 hours and they were liable for anything they broke in the process.

[@K_Vang23]

@@nonyabiznes248 not bad. My local shop was charging $950-$1,200 so I decided to do it myself and it came out pretty good.

[@basilmuhammad1495]

Damn, do I need anything else besides the sub and the amp kit?

[@K_Vang23]

@@basilmuhammad1495 you should be good but I suggest getting a dry sandpaper to sand the paint off where you’re going to bolt on your ground wire in the rear trunk.

[@shoaib4434]

Hey, you have the most helpful video by far, thank you for putting this together. Did you have to deal with a radio code after disconnecting the battery? I saw maybe 2-3 people on reddit having to deal with it, but I also heard the new Civic doesn’t have a code

[@znav22]

What code for the EQ?

[@Karmine_c]

No Radio codes just needed to hold down the volume knob and it turns back on.

[@colbycollett1319]

PSA: THIS DOES NOT WORK WITH THE SI MODEL THE HEAD UNITS ARE DIFFERENT (I learned the hard way 🥲). Waited a week for the harness to come in the mail. Took apart the dash to find out that the head unit does not have the actual radio attached to it (so the connectors aren't there), but is burried deep underneath the hvac controls and vents. I read a couple forums online to find out even if I did get to the actual radio that it still wouldn't work. So I didn't even bother. You are way better off tapping into the rear factory sub with a line output converter. Still a good video for the other model civics.

[@Karmine_c]

Damn sorry bro didn’t mean to mislead

[@stevengomez8659]

Is there a correct harness I can get?

[@colbycollett1319]

@@stevengomez8659none that I've seen so far. But you might be able to find one online if you look hard enough. All I did was tap into the factory sub with a line output converter

[@seeyah502s3]

If you have the harness from this video can i get it from you somehow 😂 its out of stock now

[@YoDooDSup]

I dont understand. On the Si, when you remove the ac controls and the top cover thing, remove the bolts for the screen, there are no wire harness’s? That makes no sense. What’s the radio connected to then?

[@chrisdesimone4249]

Hi, any issues running the power and the rca's together? They say to run them from different sides to stop interference. Thanks taking the plunge this weekend.

[@Karmine_c]

No issues at all personally. My amp doesn't pull enough power for it to be an issue also a huge pain in the butt to run on the other side lol.

[@Slim_Loaf]

I believe that is when you are installing an amp for your speakers. The subwoofers low frequencies don't interfere

[@chrisdesimone4249]

@@Slim_Loaf yes, worked like a champ and sounds UNREAL

[@2fiddyty]

Will that harness fit a 2024 civic sport? Description says it only fits up to 2021 civic

[@Karmine_c]

I got a 2023 as long as the head unit is the same it'll work

[@2fiddyty]

is yours a sport trim? cause i’m assuming the head units are the same.

[@Karmine_c]

yes it's a sport@@2fiddyty

[@johncruz4455]

mines the 24 sport touring, does it all work??

[@backflipdunk]

I got the 24 civic sport too bro and I want to do my door speaker and add a sub

[@C5Steppa]

so the red wire from the ebay harness is for the blue remote wire?

[@Karmine_c]

Yes

[@Karmine_c]

My kit happened to have a blue remote wire to splice in but it is the same wire

[@K_Vang23]

Is that a 4 gauge or 8 gauge power wire? I’m planning to upgrade my stock FK8 system this summer. Getting quotes from the shop is a killer, $500-$900 from a few shops in my area.

[@Karmine_c]

4 gauge wouldn’t recommend any smaller

[@overgirl73]

What do you do about the code when you reinstall the battery and stuff?

[@BootyTickler420]

did you figure it out?

[@Bradis2cool4u2]

I got a harness through Crutchfield and setup looks similar. I dont see a place for the remote wire, where did you hook yours up?

[@Karmine_c]

My convertor had an remote output and it would hook up to the amp

[@Bradis2cool4u2]

I spoke with them , they told me I could use the red 12v on the harness for thr remote. Thanks for the reply. ​@Karmine_c

[@OCTUV]

i have a 24 lx sedan and i seen the link for the harness but it looks different from the one in the video i was trying to check if its the right one before i buy lmao, i have two sundown 15s im trying to hook up lol

[@Karmine_c]

I double checked from my purchase and they just have a new style Line Output Convertor, the actual harness pieces are the same. And yes the lx and sport have the same head unit you should be all set!

[@kikanjrg1083]

Hello, i have a question about the harness you connected to a 2023 civic, we just bought a 2025 civic sport trim, not si, i believe they say it's still in the realm of an 11th gen. Before i go taking stuff apart and get murdalized by my wife 😅 do you in your honest opinion think that harness will work on my civic?

[@Karmine_c]

@@kikanjrg1083 yeah it should

[@kikanjrg1083]

Thanks, also I have another question, was there a ANC in your civic that you needed to disconnect and if so where was it located plz?

I wonder if the loc you got would work in my 2023 acura integra?

[@Karmine_c]

Is the head unit the same?

[@paytonvaughn526]

Trying to install an under the seat subwoofer. How much space is between the bottom of both the driver and passenger seat and the floor? Hoping for quick response. This is for my girlfriend and she is coming up in 3 days and I only have 4 days to work on it. The subwoofer is 3 inches tall.

[@Karmine_c]

You most likely won’t have the space for then because of the Hvac vent under neath

Hey bro, what was the otd price of your civic? If you don’t mind. I’ve been wanting to get a black civic like yours

[@Karmine_c]

Got it last year off the lot OTD was 27. Super solid daily but be aware its not a race car by any means may be worth looking at a hatch to get a manual over a CVT.

[@amanoob5844]

Solid video. Does your bass knob connect to head unit or directly to amplifier?

It connects to the amp

[@DustinDecker-jr8ox]

What wire did you hook the remote wire to?
