[QUOTE="JaY1_322, post: 37166, member: 543555"] I'm just getting off to my adventure in car audio. I have a 97 Civic Ex, with only engine mods so far and want to get started on some good sound. I recently purchased a sony deck I like (45x4) as well as a CD changer. I have had other cd changers in the trunk that were OEM, and the new sony will now connect easily with the unilink cable. I plan to mount it under the seat. I will run the rear deck 6x9's off the HU. The box I bought is a dual 10'' bandpass by kenwood with 300 watt subs, they are 4 ohm. the amp is a match and came as a package. It is a 2 channel bridgable, 600watt, amp by kenwood. It has a low pass filter, and has been used with this box already. What I dont know is how to install all of this. I obviously need an amp kit, and also need to pull out the carpets and seats, and run the wires through to the battery and connect the ground. It seems too easy, will i have to bridge the amp? 300 watts per channel, i shouldn't have to. What does the amp kit come with? which gauge amp kit should i buy. then whats going on under the hood, what needs to be done with the battery? Where is the best place to run the ground to? The frame is supposed to be a better place. I'm nervous, but have been surfing for good threads all day, and I'm really just a begginer with all this. I like to take things on myself, rather than paying someone else, so I need to learn eventually. Anybody have any experience with this honda model.
