Today, we are finishing my sound system upgrades by installing a JBL BassPro Nano Compact Powered Subwoofer on my 8th Generation Honda Civic. The sound quality of this subwoofer is absolutely amazing for such a small & compact sub! When paired with my Pioneer A-Series speakers and the Sony XAV-AX4000 head unit, I can definitely enjoy a higher class of sound quality.

Great Video was very helpful!
I'm happy to hear that the video was helpful 😁 👍. Thanks!
Great install
Thanks 😁👍. All the wires are hidden, everything is very secure, and the sound quality is 10x better than the factory sound system.
It's definitely a simple subwoofer upgrade, but it's definitely worth the price 😁.
It looks so clean!
Makes me want to install it on my coupe lol.
but I guess I will be installing a bigger one in the trunk but I'm going to wire it through the middle also.
As always great videos man! So excited to see whats coming to the civic
Thanks! Hopefully your sub install will go smoothly 👍. The next video will be a rear drum-to-disc brake conversion (with lots of extra upgrade goodies - polyurethane bushings, stainless steel brake lines, extended wheel studs, etc).
Video editing begins tonight 😁
@@LevelUpMechanics Great! just was thinking on doing a break upgrade like that to mine! I'm going to really enjoy this build
Keep the R18 vids coming
Will do 😁👍
Bass Boost Adjustments just like by old Walkman, Nice!
🤣 just trying to keep it simple 👍
Sounds great.
🤟😁
CLEAN install. Do you think it's slim enough to go under a truck seat?
A truck seat, yes 👍. A Honda Civic, no 😆. I've seen these installed under 4Runner & Tacoma seats, so I think it should fit nicely under a Tundra seat 😀.
Width 7-1/2"
Height 3"
Depth 10-1/4"
How about Hyundai Kona?
I'm not sure... you would have to take some measurements to see if it would fit under the seat.
Here are the measurements for the subwoofer:
Width 7-1/2"
Height 3"
Depth 10-1/4"
Thanx for the wonderfull video, how did you get de thick wire into the engine conpartment i cant find a opening in my seat altea Xl!?😅
I routed the thick power wire from the battery and to the center of the firewall. At the center of the firewall, you will see an oem wire harness that goes through the firewall @ 6:45 in the video.
I just poked a hole through the wire harness "boot / grommet" that runs through the firewall and fed my power wire into the cabin area. When poking a hole in the grommet, do so more towards the side so that you will not break / damage the oem wires running through that "boot / grommet".
Be very mindful of the oem wires when poking the hole. It may be easier to access if you take off the cowl trim and the cowl plate.
I hope this info helps! 😁
how does it actually sound? how would you describe the bass? muddy? punchy? smooth? seamless like it isn't there and blends in w/the factory speaker locations? how high do you have the gain setting?
It sounds really good to me. I would say that it sounds "smooth" and blends in really well with the factory speaker locations.
My aftermarket speakers have really good mid-range & high-range tones, so the subwoofer really completes the overall sounds with the low-range performance.
The subwoofer has manual adjustments on the backside for gain, bass boost, and low-pass filter settings so that you can dial in the sounds to your own personal preference.
could you post a sound test so i can compare it to my stock, i like this option cause my truck is always full.
I will see what I can do 😁👍. From personal experience, this subwoofer sounds really good.
So good, in fact, I plan on purchasing 2 more and adding them to my Toyota Tacoma.
@@LevelUpMechanics i was also wondering how the position it is mounted is when u have passengers, im in Canada worried about salt and snow damaging the unit.
I rarely have passengers in my back seat, so that's why I put the subwoofer where I did... but you could also place the subwoofer under the driver / passenger front seat.
It's small enough to where it could fit under either front seat. That might work better for your situation 😁👍
How did you connect the power wire from the battery to the harness on the amp?
So I purchased a BOSS Audio Systems KIT-ZERO 10 Gauge Amplifier Wiring Installation Kit on Amazon to run the power wire from the battery to the power wire harness that is included with the subwoofer.
In order to connect the power wires together, I just crimped them together (and used some heat shrink tubing afterwards) using a butt spice crimp connector.
I have links in the description section of this video for all of the items I used to put this together 😁👍.
Can you tell me how can we connect it to the mustang 2024 system? Do we also need that RCA connection? Thanks
Technically, there are two ways to get audio signal to the subwoofer;
1. If you have an RCA outlet on your head unit (like mine), you can use that....
2. The subwoofer includes a wire harness that you can use to tap into the regular speaker wires to get an audio signal to the subwoofer.
The 2nd option is definitely beneficial if you still have a stock sounds system in your vehicle.
I hope this info helps! 😁
@@LevelUpMechanicsBrother, thank you so much. I do really appreciate it
Do you encounter subwoofer pop when turning off the vehicle?
I install basspro sl2 and it pop every time i turn the car off, wonder if that is normal 😢
I have not experienced this issue with the BassPro Nano. Everything is still operating normally with my setup.
I'm not sure why yours is popping.
Just one question with this setup brother why did you put the subwoofer in that location of all the other possible locations are you not concerned with people stepping on it if you had a full carload of people?
The location where I installed the subwoofer was just my personal preference 😁.
Most people usually install the subwoofer underneath a front seat so that it can be "out of the way". However, 99.999% of the time, I am the only person who is ever in the car, so I really don't have to worry about any accidental damage.
The backseat of my Honda Civic never sees any action (other than the occasional load of groceries) 🤣.
@LevelUpMechanics say no more bro haha clean setup by the way..
@Greeneyedmaori lol thanks! 😁👍
Why split the RCA signal if it's a dedicated sub output?
So the back of my stereo receiver has one "sub out" RCA connector (output), and the subwoofer has 2 RCA connectors (left & right, input)...
The "Y-Splitter" allows me to take that 1 signal from the receiver and turn it into 2 identical signals to go to the left & right RCA input connectors found on the subwoofer.
This allows me to "fine tune" the sensitivity of the subwoofer. So far, I've had ZERO issues, and the subwoofer sounds amazing!
A lot of people think that a Y-Splitter cuts the one signal in half (or "splits" the signal), which is not the case. Instead, the splitter "copies & pastes" the original signal into 2 completely identical original signals.
So far, everything is working exactly how it's supposed to, and the sound quality from the compact sub is great!
I know there is more than one way to wire up the subwoofer sound signals. This is just the way I chose to go. I hope this info helps! 😁
@@LevelUpMechanics I thought the 2 inputs on the subwoofer were intended for systems that didn't have a dedicated subwoofer output - doesn't the amp just merge the lines anyway? The end result is the same of course, I think the signal is just being duplicated by the splitter then merged by the amp. I think you'd get the same end result and save a bit of money not bothering with the splitter, though I'm new to this stuff so could be talking nonsense.
In the end, I think either way would work the same too. Worst case scenario, you could always try just 1 RCA cable and see what happens... it will probably save you $10-$15 😁.
...the splitter separates the "+" and "-" signal from the single sub out rca. this is only a theory as I don't have a Sony hu and haven't dissected the "Y" harness...
Never route the power and signal cable next to each other. They are gonna interfere
While I haven't experienced any interference issues to date, I believe you are correct. I appreciate the advice 😁👍.
It's better to err on the side of caution, for sure.
@@LevelUpMechanics it may be more important for normal amps that also power the speakers
Do you really need to split the sub out , can we not just plug the sub out straight to one of the line input?
It's definitely possible to "avoid" using a splitter and just plug into ONLY one of the line inputs, as you suggested.
The splitter that I recommended may very well just be a bit of redundancy on my part.
@@LevelUpMechanics thank you for reply.
No problem 👍. Anytime 😁.
Jbl cost bro
