No prob. The ground is the easy part. Going through everything for the rest of the wires is the hard part. If you need any clarification beyond the DIY's feel free to message, I just did the entire thing like 5 days ago and it's still really fresh in my mind.

Well my wires are all in it's the aftermath of the wiring that I am worrying about...

In fact do you use MSN? I have a few questions that I might want to ask you

I am at rollz2low_420@hotmail.com

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I've got some subs that I'm currently getting a box and wires for. I'll check for that spot in the fire wall to run my power wire through. I had another route planned, but I'll check that one out as well.

I'll try and remember to post some pics of my stuff. 2-2" Memphis subs, 2-200w Pioneer Amps. No box yet (any help in quality

rice, e-mail me @ manahoonie@yahoo.com) and getting a wire kit.

Anyone want help installing subs? I will travel a little. e-mail me..

Thanks for your steps but you think you can put pictures with your steps.

I'm not about ready to take and post a bazillion pictures that are already on here in the DIY section. However, I've been taking my car's interior apart for around 5 months now and I can pretty much give you an exact step by step over messanger if you need it.

Thanks man for your offer, I am going to start tommoro on this project (headunit, amp, 12" sub-box hookup).

My question is the amp kit tells you how to hookup everything from the batt. to the amp but does not tell you how to hookup the amp to the sub-box, so how do I hook them up?

I got a Bazooka 4channel 600watt amp and two 12" sub (300watts each) with 4 inputs.

please help

where is the grounding point in the trunk for the amp.

This was answered, but here it is again. The easiest spot to ground the amp is under the driver side rear seat where the seatbelt is bolted in. Loosen that bolt and attach your ground wire. This should give you a nice short ground run.

Did any one have problems running the power cable down the passenger to the trunk? Any advice in removing panels?

MegaHurtz · 09-10-2004

It was easy

The only advice I have to give is take extreme care when putting everything back together

DaiCa86 · 09-10-2004

Any advice/instruction in removing body panels and consoles to wire the power down the passenger side? I took out the wiring on my 4 runner that was easy b.c it was all screws. Is the civic more of snapping pieces together? Wuts the easiest way to take everything out?

Hey all,

I've been running my bazooka in the trunk of my civic 2k3 coupe for a while now, and it's been workin' great. Thanks to all the posters who posted stuff that made my install work.

Unfortunately, the only way I could figure out to mount it before was to screw through the mounting strap, through the trunk carpet, into the board-thing that covers the spare tire. Obviously, this doesn't offer much strength in the mounting, and the whole deal came loose yesterday.

Any suggestions for a new mounting setup?

I am waiting for a 15A AGU fuse to finish installing a Bazooka RS6A-HP in my g/f's 2k3 EX coupe. Mine came with some metal Bazooka brackets that clamp around the sub casing. I am planning on cutting a piece of MDF, size yet to be determined, for the sub to bolt onto. Big enough so that the tube will not roll around. Will be carpeted with some cheepo black Walmart automotive carpet I had leftover. To make sure the platform does not float around, I will put some of that no-slip rug material under it, and under the trunk carpet.
