2008 Honda Civic Hybrid Install

I talked to the owner of batcap and you don't need an 'in' and an 'out' on the powerpack. I don't know what I was thinking. It just needs to be added to your wiring and the wire doesn't have to pass through the powerpack on the way to the amp. He suggested just use a distro block.

Thats cool...I know its good for upto 1500rms....

The 4ga Power and Ground wire will have to run a new route...they won't allow the door sill panel to snap back in place //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Yeah I ran into that problem with my 2006 Si. I ended up running mine down the center console, under the factory amps and under the back seats...Have you checked on 8thGenCivic.com for any tips? I frequent there and I know there are pics of sedan installs that can help.

Here's some:

I may check into that site...I'm gonna look around...I doubt I go under the console...since my rear seat don't fold due to the battery pack...I have to run the cables around the sides...I left some extra...but I don't think that much extra wire....unless I'm forced to go that route...the padding looks thick ...so I'm gonna try under the carpet padding...If it feels lumpy...I may have to get more cable and take the console...I just dread getting the wire from the firwall to the battery...it is very cramped and hard to pull wires through there....

Take a picture of your battery pack if you can. I'm curious to see it anyways. May help determine a route.

I haven't fooled with it much this summer...I should be back working on it more this fall....I'm running staggered 18's on it right now...I never put the 20's on it....

This what I'm thinking about trying at first....Running an old school Lightning Audio S1.1000D on the Critical Mass at 1.5 mono...Then running the staggered power matching Lightning Audio S4.600 90 x 2 on my mid bass...and 30 x 2 on the tweeters....I hope this makes a nice clean sounding and economical setup....When I get through with the whole system setup...I should have less than $2000 in it....

Heres a picture of it when i painted the rims... and also a link to a video of a mountain run i did few months back (which i gurantee none your cars can do lol.. your can only drive str8 lines )btw im not driving my friend that races professionaly is, but its my car hes showing me what its made of. 60mph+ up a mountain 10ft away from a 1000ft drop.. talk about adrenaline...

I'm not amazed. I can think of plenty of RWD cars that could do that better.

It's also amazing to see how many people get cocky after driving in an awd car where the computer does all the thinking -- only to be humbled after sitting in a rwd car that actually requires you to know how to drive to reach its limits.
