I will be purchasing a new Civic soon and it's the Malaysian model.
The stock sound system comes integrated with the dashboard so unless someone comes up with a bracket there is no way to change the HU out.

I currently have a set of MB Quart QM218.6, DLS 6x9 and a PPI PCX4125 amp.

Shops have told me to add a "Hi to Low" converter since the stock HU has diff voltage?

And they say the speakers will never sound as they are suppose to be.

Is there no way to go around it?

 

get an RCA adapter and amp your speakers.

 

They already make a dash kit for the newer civics. Here's one I found on ebay.

I know Metra also makes one, it replaces your dash and you need to take off your heating/ac controls and put it on the new dash.

 

Or if you want to keep the stock HU... http://mobile.jlaudio.com/prod...id=79
and http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/p...P-FIT

There are also others. 94

 

Thanks for the help guys. As stated i already have an amp.
I am staying in Malaysia so its RHD and the kit wont fit my car.....
Will look more into the JL & Alpine products.

 

you got a picture of that dash? i make kits for cars everyday that they dont make kits for.

 

This is teh best i can do for now.

 

Fiberglass..............

x2 and you can keep the steering controls also with a swix or a swi? adapter.

 

why not get a factory kit from honda? they should have a right hand drive dash kit for the navi units. might have to get some abs plastic to fill the gaps but it should work.

 

we got the metra kit at circuit city... its pretty big

However we have done more then a few Civics with the JL Audio CleanSweep unit, from basic systems to full on ground ponders, and they sound very good.

We have also used them on BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, among others, with great results. 94

 

use the jl clean sweep.. kinda pricey but it actually works pretty good

 

Looks like i am stuck with the JL cleansweep. But from the reviews i've seen there are quite good.

Honda Malaysia sucks, and NO ONE knows crap in the service dept.
I called in and asked for a part number for the factory kit and no one knows anything about them.

Can anyone recommend me a reputable site to purchase audio stuff online?
I have some relatives in NorCal and might ask them to bring it back when they come for holiday.
