2002 Civic Install

[DailyDriver]

Hey everybody,

I'm installing the HU, amp, subs for my friend into his 2002 Civic coupe. I have a 99 so I do not know his car like I do mine. I just have a couple of questions about the 02:

1. What length power cable is needed?
2. I punched through the firewall below the glove box / battery in my 99, but I'm wondering where the best spot is to use for the 02.
3. Anybody have any problems during their install?
4. Is there a website with install info for the 02 Civic? I am looking for specifically the 02, just to see differences and things I'm not used to without getting the Haynes or Helms manuals.

Thanks a lot in advance, your help is appreciated.

i have a 2002 and you should be more than fine with about 10 feet of cord, but do 15 just to be safe. the place i punched through was right below and to the left of the glove box right near the column, there is a rubber seal around some wires through the fire wall that you are going to have to punch through and then send the wire through. if you have a really long ended screw driver that works best, tape the wire to the long screw driver with electrical tape and then punch it through and reach down under the hood, pull the tape off and then pull the wire up. i had no problems whatsoever with my install...had to do a little firguring since the instructions blew, but it wasnt that bad after all.
