Honda = Poo

Just did an installation on a 2002 Honda Civic coupe, and I must say... it was the hardest installation to date. Everything was so complicated, and wasn't user friendly at all... Removing the side panels required removing a seatbelt bracket. Removing the headunit required removing a bunch of clips AND screws that required a really short screwdriver, which I didn't have. The engine bay is a rats nest and running the power wire was ALL bad.... Removing the rear seat was even worse... you had to remove a bolt just to slide it out. Very limited area to ground the amplifier... All in all Hondas in general are bastards... the Civic... I'll never touch one agian.

I did an old acura (honda) and it was the easiest Ive ever done. Subaru was a total pain in the ***.

I've only done Jeeps. They're easy.

My WJ was a little rough because I had to dissect the wiring harness for the factory amp, but that was the only hard part.

ever done a mid-90's S10? by CC's standards, you gotta drop the steering column to remove the dash. otherwide, you'll break off the hazard button.

that's a bish.

I had to take off the ENTIRE dash, drop the steering column, and a couple other things to install a deck in my dad's '95 Suburban.

I've only done Jeeps. They're easy.

Amen to that brutha. I installed a system in my old XJ, that was a breeze. And I just installed one in one of my buddie's XJ's. The entire install took probably about 30 minutes tops, including amp, wiring, subs, etc.

Matter of fact, I really miss my old XJ. That thing was AWESOME. 3.5" lift, 31" All-Terrains, lights gallore, oh baby. I'm pretty sure my next vehicle is going to be another XJ. They are VERY fun vehicles.... off-roading FTW!
