I need to get at the 6x9's in my 2000 Civic Si in order to change them out with the Alpine ones I just got.

I'm told I have to take out the back seats, side panels, and upper deck to do it.

Anyone have a write-up or how-to? I heard it was a pain...

 

Use the helms... you do have ot take out the seats, thats why I never put them in my car. Too much work and I didnt' have the time.

 

go to best buy, pay 32.99 and get it over with...

 

Definitely a pain in the ***.. But a necessary evil, I guess... You've been told correctly... Seats, side panels come out, then rear deck pops out... Set aside a good couple of hours if you've never done something like that before....

 

i did a right up about this a little while ago... let me see if i can find the link...

 

Find it?

Here's the pics...

 

Just in case you didn't know, you're not going to use those grilles, unless you're planning on cutting your rear deck...

 

No cutting.

 

Nice , what did those run ya?

Im planning on getting a new deck and speakers here soon.

 

plan on a couple hours if youve never done it before.. ive done it before and its a pain in the ***.. nice speakers.. hope your running a 4 channel to those, they can handle the power and sound 1000x better when powered good..

 

those alpine are DVC???? and 50rms watts????,yjuffvy

ive heard those same speakers powered by a big 4 channel amp in my friends 96 civic and they sounded great.. definatly a great speaker for as cheap as they are before going into the higher price ranges..

 

The Alpine 6.5" component set arrives tomorrow...

 

im 99.99999% sure they are not dual voice coil, the 2 inputs are seperated, one for the tweeter and one for the 6x9 cone. you can run them straight from seperate outputs of your amp (using the amp/radio crossovers, depending on what you have) or the crossover that comes with the speaker

 

those arnt DVC, the have to seperate hook-ups for the crossover that comes with them, just like what SCEG said

hmm...i've got the same amp and the same speakers but after bi-amping the front speakers and running front stage only, i took the 6x9's out they've been sitting in my closet for about a year now.

rear fill

 

anyone find that link yet?

I also need to know how to remove the 6x9s in my '00 civic to put in my eclipse speakers.

 

1. Fold down both sections of rear seat. UN-bolt all 6 gold colored bolts (10 mm) that secure seat to brackets.
2. Remove side brackets (2-12 mm bolts)
3. remove 1-10mm bolt that secures seat bottom. Unclip front clips and remove.
4. Extract 1-philips screw from each lower portion of side panel.
5. Using panel popper to aide in removal, take out both side panels.
6. Now carefully remove rear deck cover without breaking white pressure clips.
7. There u have it in 20 min or less.

Found this in an archived article

 

sounds simple............but whats a "panel popper?" I dont have one, what can be used in its place to assist my install.....?

 

You won't need a panel popper, I had one handy and didn't even need it.

The process is real simple if you follow the directions posted above.

 

which wire is positive, which is negative??

 

in older hondas, the gray and brown wires were neg., im not sure what year yours is though. but if the pairs are blue/gray and red/ brown then there is your answer

 

Mines a 99. I figured out the yellow stripe is +, white stripe is -,

I also removed my rear deck without removing the seats or side panels. Just unclip the side panels at the top and pull them back a little bit, the rear deck will pop right out.

 

Hey guys........I got to step #4 and got stuck. where is/are these screws at? lost!
