Thanks BCJ!

Thank you very much for sharing it. Those China made OEM speakers are junk. I replaced the entire speakers in my Ody. It sounds a lot better with Alpine speakers. I am planning to replace the Civic speakers Alpine very soon!

el_ben2 · 01-11-2007, 02:11 AM

cool... can you remove the stock sub whitout cutting the plastic adapter it comes whit? to install and aftermarket one... or i need to cut it?

BATANG CITY JAIL · 01-11-2007, 02:16 AM

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to BATANG CITY JAIL again.
Thanks again for a great DIY

m1k3 · 02-01-2007, 07:13 PM

damn those white clips are a PITA to pop out, i got one out, any specific method you used?

BATANG CITY JAIL · 02-01-2007, 07:23 PM

use some hard thing like a coin and push it up from the bottom ot use long nose plires and give it a little push....

acetech808 · 02-03-2007, 02:02 AM

Ok guys,
You all have done a great detailed report on removal of the rear deck lid. How was it putting it back on? Any problems of rattling? Thanks in advance.

BATANG CITY JAIL · 02-03-2007, 03:03 AM

rattling is cause by the seatbelt box itself....

So it just the reverse as talking it off, and pounding down on the pin areas from the top to get the pins to lock back in place? Any problems with those getting back ito place? Thanks, that was my main concern.

Knight-Rider · 02-11-2007, 12:27 PM

Great post, just what I needed!

Civic2006 · 02-22-2007, 06:22 PM

I just installed the two rear speakers last night... The only trouble I had was getting the white clips in place (especially the two corner-end ones at the back) when I was done.

nnavigater · 03-11-2007, 05:38 AM

thakz 4 the pics it was a great help installing my rear speakers if i was close 2 u id hug ya

***F-1 Si*** · 03-11-2007, 09:43 AM

Thanks for the DIY. I've been itching to do this since I picked my car up 2 weeks ago. I'm going out today to pick up replacement speakers and sub. any reccomendations?

TwofouroSi · 03-11-2007, 06:48 PM

Awesome man, thanks a lot. I've got about 2 G's worth of audio equipment sitting in my room right now awaiting install. I have to wait until spring break when I actually have time to put it in and it's killing me!!!! I'll try to get a detailed write-up with pictures. I'll be adding sound deadening, components f+r w/additional tweets, with 2 JL w6v2's going in the trunk in a custom ported box. I tend to do pretty clean installs so I'll try to get lots of pics after I'm finished as well. Anybody have any advice for me? I've done many installs in other vehicles but I've yet to tear the Si's interior apart. Any tough spots?

gus738 · 03-17-2007, 07:16 PM
