Hello fellow members!

Bare with me here guys I'm new at this stuff. So, I been looking around for a full audio system DIY guide for the 2007 Civic and for some reason I can't find any, probably because I suck? Anyways, I got most of my parts already and I'm looking into trying to do this audio system by myself to get some experience out of it. Tips would be great!
Thanks.

Yes sir. I want to install HU, all four speakers inside, one sub, and an amp. I was wondering if you have a guide that will show me step by step on all of them :/ This is my first time, I'm looking into the Kappas and have already ordered them. Sub wise, i'm getting the alpine type R, deck is alpine 9885, and amp.. i haven't decided on the amp yet. i know i need to get two amp,but debating on which one to get or how many watts to get.

cheers.
