Took me all day, but I got all the speakers, subs, amps, and head-unit all hooked up. Here's the pics:

The CD Player... Need to find a bezel to go around it:

Dusty Kenwood speaker from my hatch in the door. Didn't have any mounting problems, plenty of space:

The amps mounted to the sub box. I'm going to go back probably tomorrow and clean up the wiring a little bit:

The Subs. They're some old MTX Thunder 2000 10's that I had laying around...

Another shot of the subs:

Well, that's it.

I think I did pretty good for my first stereo install... :cool:

Oh, and I noticed that the color-coding of the wires in my car (which had the stock harness) differed slightly from the color coding in the Helms manual as well as the color coded list on the 4G4DStore website...

Anyone wanna buy the stock stereo and speakers? LOL. Actually, sounds pretty damn good considdering it's 12 years old!:

It's got some good thump... surprisingly clear. Maybe it's just the geometry of the sedan, but the 6.5" speakers sound so much better in there than they did in the hatchback... My girl is gonna love it. She'll be pleasantly surprised when she gets home from work.

Which? the stock speakers?

yea, only if there in good shape tho..like the two front speakers
ci5ic
07-10-2003, 10:46 PM
Yeah, they're actually in pretty good shape, sound pretty nice. The two front speakers are coaxial 2-ways, and the rear-deck speakers are regular mids with wizzer-cones... looks like the cones are made of paper, but no holes or anything in them.

If you're seriously interested, I'd let them go for $10 plus shipping.

and just so you know, I was joking earlier when I said that they were JDM speakers...

oh hey thats cool, just send me a PM with all your info.

so its for the front speakers only, or the front and rear speakers?

and yea i dont care if there not the JDM speakers, I just dont feel like spending a fortune on speakers...rather have Honda Certified Speakers :bigthumb:

Yeah, 10 bucks for all four of them. I'll PM you my P.O. box so you can send a money order... I'll let you know how much shipping will be on them.

Yeah, it would fit the CRX, but actually, the deck is spoken for already.

Actually, the subs are the same, one of them had a sticker on the dust-cap, and I tried to peel it off, and it ripped and stuff. I'll have to clean it with goo gone or something.
