Its a very simple install. If he knows even a little bit about car stereo then I say let him do it, its kinda hard to screw up, haha

If its a smaller subwoofer then it will be fine with your normal radio. If its a big sub then it will probably "drown out" your normal speakers and you might need better ones of those.[sm=smiley2.gif]

It is in a big homemade box. I think it would take up the whole
trunk space.
He knows alot about stereos but he is used to american cars...
do you think that will make a difference?

Oh ok...
When I bought the car it already had an aiwa cd player in it.

This radio sucks cause it skips everytime I drive over a bump...
is it the cd aiwa ? will it do this if I install another type?

the skipping is most likely the CD player... is it kinda old? If u get a new one it wont do that.

When he said that its a motorcycle battery I think he was being sarcastic... he just meant that its small, but normal for hondas.

The small battery will be fine, but you could kill your battery quicker (especially when the engine is off and your listening to music) if you run alot of watts to your stereo. The CD player isnt strong enough to run the sub by itself, you will need an amplifier. You probably already have one, im just making sure.
