i realize you’re not going to get amazing bass with the stock system, but does this sub pound quite a bit harder? my stock sub blew and i’d like to do something like this to replace it.
Everything is working great now all I’m stuck on is reinstalling the rear panels you did it so easily, the one where it says side curtain airbag is such a pain in the butt to install it doesn’t want to click into the holes I don’t know what to do.
Great video! Funny enough I got the same sub and followed you step by step. Now I have a way better sub, do you also have a video on replacing the stock amp?
I think this is a great idea if space is a concern however, the factory amp is probably only supplying at best, 100 watts. That sub you installed could probably use another 100 watts or so. Another thing is that you are at the mercy of the factory Honda equalization, which limits subwoofer bandwidth to about 10 Hz to 45 Hz. I found this information in the forums and also by checking it myself with test tones on a USB. I ended up getting a JL Audio FiX 86 OEM integration DSP, which flattens the factory EQ curve and already had a JL Audio TwK-88 system tuning DSP, which re-equalizes and crosses over all the speakers. It turned out great, although somewhat expensive and time consuming. Great video though!
Was looking at the Crutchfield options for replacing the factory sub, and it indicates "Replacing the low-impedance factory speaker with a 4-ohm aftermarket speaker will result in lower volume levels." Did you notice this with yours?
Did you ever do this mod Jose? I did with a civic and it completely neutered the bass. Ended up getting the LC21 output converter with a bass control knob and an amp. All was good after that.
Nice video, I don't think I'd have the patience to go through all that. I think it would be helpful if you were to be more specific as to what kind of 10th Gen Civic this is (year, trim, coupe/sedan, country). Parts and procedures can vary significantly based on those factors.
Ok brother. I’m also having civic and for me sound is not that great. So checking videos for more info and saw this. Are you here in Toronto area by any chance .
All 8in subs will fit in a 8in sub cutout but don’t put a huge 8in competition sub in there it will be a infinity box and you’d need a aftermarket amp for it and it would just be a weird bass effect
You mean the dual 4 ohm voice coil sub. As much as I’d like to tell but Its a lot to explain here. I suggest to check out on other youtube videos on how to wire a dual 4 ohm voice coil sub.
I have a 2020 civic si. It has a stock subwoofer. Will this process work on mine as well. Same Harness and sub? And this kicker sub will work with the stock amp from factory?
@@mitsulancer91 when the bass hits, the car will definitely vibrate and its normal! to lessen that buzz you were saying is that you have to install a sound deadener around the speaker or on your car doors.

@@geefamz7172 oh ok I was wondering cuz I have a 2021 sport and you can see the outline where the sub could be. It would have to be cut out an drilled in if I did that. Would you recommend something like that? Having the sub right there in that area doesn’t give much rattling??

Its way better than the stock but it is best with an amplifier.
@@geefamz7172 so even without a dedicated amp it still hits a lot harder than the stock one?
Yes
Is it possible to install an amp without doing anything crazy with the head unit?
@@Vgp-rp4iu yes.

You are a fucking artist, my man. I came here to see the internal wiring of my digital screen but I found out how to actually own my car.
Thanks for the compliment. 😎🤙
My 2018 civic EX-T doesn't come with a subwoofer, but this is too much work, so I'm ok without one. Thanks for the tutorial, man.
You’re welcome

thank you
Did you install an amp for your subs or you just ran the factory one ?
@@JT-uc1jk I am running a JL Audio XD 600/1.
@@RodofAllTrades so you recommend ruing the fix 86 and xd600 amp anything else or is this what I need to get my car running good?
@@assail4041 if you still have the factory speakers, they will need to be filtered somehow. Otherwise, you will damage the tweeters for sure.
2 Ohm may result better sound, overalls great job👍
Thanks 🤙
Thank you for the great video, just ordered the parts. Sub comes with the harnes so that is good news👍🏾
Awesome 🤙
How is the sound quality ? Nice bass? No distortion if cranked up ?
Sound quality is better than stock and no issues so far
@@geefamz7172can you do a updated video on it
Whats the sub you installed? Is it one of those "free air subwoofers"??
Are you in Toronto by any chance? do you install sound systems?
With it being the trunk as a box would u technically need a free air sub? @chilodaone
Yeah but how do I add one into my 10th gen when I don’t already have one stock in the car?
What size is the stock subwoofer so I could replace it
Was looking at the Crutchfield options for replacing the factory sub, and it indicates "Replacing the low-impedance factory speaker with a 4-ohm aftermarket speaker will result in lower volume levels." Did you notice this with yours?
Volume level seems the same to me but with exceptional bass. U cant go wrong with kicker. 😊🤙

CyberKnightt I’m gonna add it on the description. Thanks for letting me know. 😊
for the rear speakers are they also the same size as the front 6.5
Yes
thanks for great video, please can you confirm if it will work fine with amp and what are other sub woofer compatible with CIVIC 10th gen?
Check it out here www.crutchfield.ca/S-tCOkttrC3n7/
hi any idea can i fit sub woofer in my 9th gen in simlar area
Can you put the part #s or links of where you bought all the speakers please
Here is the link to the sub and the parts are at the beginning of the video

Hey buddy is there any huge difference when u changed to kicker ?
yes of course compared to stock sub but I’m planning to install an amplifier later, it would be more louder.
Ok brother. I’m also having civic and for me sound is not that great. So checking videos for more info and saw this. Are you here in Toronto area by any chance .

Do you know if any 8 inch sub fits in the OEM sub hole or does it have to be a specific type?
All 8in subs will fit in a 8in sub cutout but don’t put a huge 8in competition sub in there it will be a infinity box and you’d need a aftermarket amp for it and it would just be a weird bass effect
why didnt you use an adapter for the 8" woofer?
Unnecessary 🤷♂️
Any idea what the factory amp is rated at?
80-100 rms
How did you measure the holes for the screws?
Thanks..
Why would you replace rear speakers with subs
Im sure I replaced the oem subwoofer with an aftermarket sub. I don’t know about subwoofer replacing with a speaker. 🤷♂️
What are oem subwoofer specs?
4 ohms, and 8 inches
@@geefamz7172 Mine was 2 ohms for a 2018 civic Si
Is there any rattle with the new sub vs the old?
None
Mine rattles 8 inch kicker comp c
I’m trying to do this in my 08 civic si coupe what would I need
Also on the video you’re sub only has 2 points of contact every other subwoofer I’ve seen has 4 points of contact what would I do if that’s the case?

Hello bro i have accord and my subwoofer make noice when i raise volume to 22 so which company would be better for that?
its normal when you turn up the volume but if you want to make it sure just check and see the subwoofer first for any damage.
@@geefamz7172 like the body of the car has buzz when the bass kicks or the sub has buss when the bass kicks?

Which model is this 2020 civic sport.?
2016 sedan touring

Is this a sedan or hatchback?
Sedan
What size bolts and nuts should I be using when installing it
8-32 x1 1/2 machine screws, 8-32 lock nuts. use 9/64 drill bits
What's the size for the subwoofer??
8 inches
Thank you!👍
Do you kno if this is this same process for 8th gen civic si 2008
If civic si 08 comes with stock sub then installation is the same procedure. Just make sure u know the size of your stock sub.
