Default Rear speaker/sub Amplifier ....??.... Harness exists ??

Does the 4th gen have a factory harness were I can plug my Factroy Amp in? I'm talking about the unit that is in the center of the Rear seats. I got an amp mounted on the speaker mount (JDM OEM). Now I'm trying to find the factory harness to plug into the amp and I can't find it in my trunk. Does this harness exist?
Here is the picture of the Amp and harness _____

Are you trying to keep this completely OEM style? If not, you could try what I did:

is that an Xplod 6x9 sub? That's hardcore. I'm just trying to keep it OEM for right now. Anyone has pics of an OEM setup? Also is the harness there for the OEM connection?

I won that thing baller style .... waited for the last few minutes and dumped my final max price for it. The winning price is high, but i went to Majestic Honda website and they had it for $280 (mount and amp only) and the speaker was going for something like $120. So compared with those prices i got an OK deal, plus they are becoming super rare.

I got my bracket with stock amp for $50 plus my blank piece. The Sony speaker was $30 shipped, and the amp was $60 local. As for mount, by mounting it up there, I actually have usable trunk space without throwing stuff on my amp

It's a 3 way, but I turned on the low pass filter, so it only does bass

this is kind of an old thread, but I just got all leathers in my car including the 6x9 speaker mount and cover. I was wondering if anyone has tried mounting a 8 inch free air sub in that place, and if so how difficult was the procedure, and how does it sound?

actually i have a little 10 in a sealed box that sounds decent, running on the factory amp at 2 ohms. I did it for fun at work one day while I've been waiting to install my other stuff that I haven't gotten to yet. I've had it in there for about 8 months now and had no problems and I measured the amp to be putting out 85-90 watt peak @ 2 ohms, does anyone know what they are rated?

No this is what you need:


no not really. It was such a pain in the *** I haven't even finished it up to look nice. That will be a spring project its starting to look like.

The OEM amp I believe is rated at 6ohm so prolly like 20w

Kicker makes an 8 inch free air sub, i went to a foss audio near my house and they carried it.

if i can get a 8 inch sub in there it would be a lot cheaper than the 6 x 9. i believe that most 6 x 9 speakers come in pairs.

I've seen an 8" in there, and unless you have fiberglass skills I would not recommend it.

i love when people neglect to do any reading before they post
i posted the website.....it is a 6x9 sub (single) and costs $195

with this speaker you can use the factory mounting location and i imagine it sounds just as good as any 8" that is not top of the line

we all know if you wanted to, you could toss some big speakers back there, but this keeps it stealth

actually i did some reading before i posted. I can get ONE 8 inch kicker sub for 99.99 at Foss Audio locally. I actually had an idea, if someone has mounted an 8 inch sub where the 6 x 9 goes, i was going to put the amp under the passanger seat and run the wires under the carpet. I would also think an 8 inch sub would put out a lot more bass than a 6 x 9.
