Wiring the car was a big deal to me. I previously had my headunit installed by a "Pro" car audio shop. Needless to say after I had my dash pulled out I found very shoty work! So I yanked everything, and started over.

(Done to both pass. and driver side) Honda's build their cars with those lovely rear vents under the front seats. This just wouldn't work though seeing as I have an amp under each seat. I wouldn't want to bake them during the winter when I'm cooking the heat.

I'm running Knukonceptz throughout the car. Getting the two 12AWG wires into each door was a real task! At first my brother and I tried to locate the exhisting speaker wires so we could just pull thru the new with the old. However, Honda made sure to use all the room it had in the door harness.

I discovered a hole high up in the fender (It's just barely visable from the inside of the car -I felt it before I saw it) that I could use to run the wiring. Easiest way I found to get into it was via the front tire wells. That was my saving grace, because I really did spend about 10 man hours trying to find a way to wire the front speakers.

Getting the wires into the door was a bit tricky (I think I had 4 misses before I found the right location for the cuts), but with my brothers help we made it work. We unpluged the wiring harnesses, and tried to extend the opening up a bit with the Dremel. Over time we finally had enough room for the wires...
