Hi all! Quick run down, I am Installing 2 pairs of JBL speakers into my 04 Honda Civic. (GX600C front and GX602 rear) And installing a Sony MEX-XB100BT head unit, 100w x 4. (will be installing amp+sub later down the line)
What I wanted to know was, is it ok to install component speakers straight into a head-unit? This is my first car audio install, and my education on car audio was built on YouTube videos, but on all of these videos I have seen on component speakers, the wire coming from the crossover is always sent into an amp, so I'm slightly concerned and curious. Is this something that is possible, or am I going about this all wrong?
I apologize in advance if I am posting in the wrong area, but please, if there is anything wrong with matching any of these items, or if I'm missing anything for this install let me know! Thank you!!
*Btw I also purchased two sets of Honda speaker harnesses in advance. Car also has aftermarket stereo inside so harness for stereo is usable for new head-unit I assume.
