i got a 99 4dr civic ex and wish to keep the stock deck and get a after market deck. only thing is that i wanted to install the after market deck near the cup holders and keep the stock deck on..how would i do this??

 

Please explain why you want to keep the stock HU, [deck]?

Do you mean you want both the stock HU and the aftermarket HU to work? 94

 

no i wanted to keep the stock one in there for the look, and hide the after market deck down low..

 

I did exactly the same thing, except I left the stock deck powered up & connected to the front speakers.

I tapped into the power & ground off the factory harness & ran them down below. I was running a 4 channel amp so those were the only wires I needed to extend/run.

If you don't care about having the factory deck powered, then you can simply unplug the deck, and unclip all of the wire clamps that hold the harness to the various dash pieces. The factory harness will reach down to the cupholders then.
