The title says it all. If anyone has links to OEM instructions or has tips what would be great.

 

For your civic you wont need to remove the door to get the sekare in there. Look at the speaker grill and get a puddy knie or something similar, and pop off the grill, there you go. Its about a 10 minute instal.

 

WOW! I am so amazed at the sound of my new stereo. I upgraded the Civic's HU to an Eclipse with WMA/MP3 and I also swapped out the crappy OEM speakers for ones from my Odyssey Touring. The Touring's speakers absolutely rock! I tried the speakers first (the grill pops off *** promised. thx). I needed to creat a wooden trim ring - and even then, the fit was tight. These Touring speakers are amazing. they have neo magnets and poly cones. I am impressed, even with the OEM HU. The bass response is very tight and firm. I am so impressed, I'm tempted to return teh JL 10's I purchased and not even install my amp and such! Note: these speakers are not a permanent install. They were temporary until I can get other speakrs. As much as the wife freaked whern I can home after spending $600 at the audio shop, she'd have divorced me had I also brought home speakers.

So, onto the HU. The install was very easy and straight forward. I mounted the new HU right in the place the OEM sat. I love this new HU! The sound is amazing. And as much as I'm not a fan of WMA files for SQ, I can burn about 10 albums onto a data disk and it works very well. The name of the album + song even scrolls across face. The HU I am using is an Eclipse CD5435. I wanted a HU with an AUX out, but with the WMA feature, I may not even hook up a plug to the RCA AUX inputs...? Nah, I was just kidding, of course I will



I should post some pics of the install.
