still the 4g fanatic, with yet more questions, yes more

[Phact]

i havnt drove my red hatch in about a week. i've been told several times that the problem this time in my main relay(now gawd damn the moment i fix something, something else goes to hell.)

well anyway i have no idea where its located, i've looked on all the ebay auctions and they said under the dash on the drivers side. basically right above your change drawer. anyyyyyway. so i set out on my red hatch looking for the damn thing, and it beats the hell outtah me but i couldnt find the damn thing

so the next thing i did was goto my project hatch and have a closr and more bare view of everything, now keep in mind i didnt take off the dash for any of this....should i
i figure ill just swap the main relay from my 91 dx to my 91 si(are they the same?)well i couldnt find the damn thing in my project nither, so now im leaving this up to my fellow 4gs.....

Will a mainrelay from a 91 DX be compatible in a 91 SI?
Do i have to take out the dash to locate it? if not can you try and be as specific as you can to where i might locate it?

also

i recently installed my shit stereo before my man darkimportgrey went back to school and it is just shit, i turn it above 30 on my deck and the bass just stops, like the amp looses power. what could this be? it started doing this recently, didnt happen until about 3 days after the install.

also

is there anyway to hook up a microphone through your deck to amplify through the speakers? i am a musician by heart and it is all i ever do until i get a few moments for the car and me and my partner at our last bbq thought it would be sick if we could just perform our show from the car, instead of spending company money on a new pa system.

Your post isn't long enough
The main relay is simple to replace - behind the change pocket above the hood release.

what size power/ground cables are you using?

Yes get yourself a CB radio with PA output & get a speaker. Check Radio Shack.

Keep it short and sweet

[91civicDXdude]

normally unless you have liek 20 subs and 2,000 watts, power and ground cables arent the issue....unless you have like 10 gauge wire. Most likely, the amp is going on the protect circuit. Check and see how your speakers are hooked up.. a lot of consumer grade amps are not bridgeable to 2ohm mono, and so will shut off when the amp overloads itself.. just something to think about..

what setup are you running... what amp and how many channels is it, what subs, and are they DVC or not, and how do you have them hooked up?

[sastanley]

The main relay is a little black box like dude said...between the change drawer and the hood pull...it is about a 1" cube...and I think they are all the same.

I dunno enough about stereos to help you...mines been broke for 3 weeks and I am too lazy to fix it. It sure is quiet in my car except for my nice exhaust

[DarkImportGrey]

I installed his system (I am MECP certified) and I can tell you that it is all installed correctly. The equipment itself just sucks a dick.

well thanks to everyone who relied to this thread, im going to check on the main relay right after this post. im glad i posted though because my father now said he would pay the dealership to order me one, so i got some money on the way i think, although he doesnt know im just going to take it off my project.


and as for the stereo, i turned down both the subs on the amp im using and the shit still cuts off, yet the bass hardly hits...but like darkimportgrey was saying it is a SHITTY setup(product wise) but like i said before i even turned down the power being send to the subs...any more input would help on this little problem

i want it amplified through my subs and components

[sastanley]

YO...I wish my equipment would suck my dick...then I wouldn't really care how well it played!!!

Nice diagram ci5ic.....manuals kick ass!

UPDATE:


today i went to the honda dealership and bought a new main relay for $70, plugged it in and the car starter and the stereo wasnt breaking out anymore...looks like the relay was the answer to a few of my questions...

anyone still up to answer my question on hooking up a mic in your car and having it played through all speakers.

[Masta]

me n' bambamlx went n' just stole a main relay from a civic at the junkyard today lol. Also, we found a 6 pack of condoms rofl.

That sounds like a very poor idea...

Ever heard of "feedback"?

So, what exactly is it that you're after? You want a microphone installed in the car to use as a PA system?
