I've been considering putting speakers in the rear doors of my sedan but would want it to look as OEM as possible. I couldn't find any clear info online whether the hatchback rear door panels would fit. I knew they were different part numbers, but the shape looked REALLY close in pics on eBay...

So I met up with @Priceless_Civic yesterday so he could hear my Civic with upgraded speakers to see if he thought it sounded good enough to bother upgrading his own. And it was fun getting to talk to someone else who's interested in Civics and car audio. Anyway, he also let me listen to a...

Just curious what other people use the most. USB iPod for me. Satellite radio second. I've never listened to any of the other sources at all, except Bluetooth from friends' phones when they've been in the car.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-how-to-enter-developer-mode-2017-t3621582 Tried this out this morning and yes, it's now possible to enable Developer Mode. It's not root, but it's an important step toward getting there.

My free trial ended last July and I bought a 6 month subscription. That expired in January and I didn't renew. I definitely remember one day in January it cut off and stopped working. Recently I considered resubscribing so I switched over to Sirius to get my radio's ID, only to find that...

My car's leased so I want as few permanent mods to it as possible, and plus I just like to avoid drilling into a car if I can, so I came up with this amp rack idea and thought I'd share for anyone else in the same position.

I just finished installing these Audiofrog GB15 tweeters and, despite having made a bunch of measurements before I bought them, I was still surprised by just how well they fit. They have threads on the outside body of the tweeter as part of their mounting system. So, I just took a Dremel...

I bought both the American International HSB524 and Metra 82-7805 speaker mounting rings for our Civic since I wasn't sure which would work better for me. I figured I'd share a comparison. (click pics for larger) The designs are clearly a little different

Here's an 1/24th octave RTA measurement of the stock Touring system from 20 to 200 Hz from the driver's headrest. I think that big spike and big dip are why the Touring bass sounds pretty decent on some songs but crappy on others. They're about +10 dB and -10 dB compared to the average level...

When I bought my Civic I knew I wanted to build a system based on a JBL MS-8 DSP, because I hate tuning and it has an autotune feature that (usually) produces great results. I have one in my other car (2-channel + sub) and it sounds fantastic. Also, one of the reasons I picked the Touring...

Using music to find bass rattles is annoying since the bass isn't constant, and different songs will have different frequency bass that can cause different parts to rattle. Here are MP3 files of every individual frequency from 20 Hz to 98 Hz, each 30 seconds long, to make it easier. Go to...

I improved the measurements I did previously by using a voltage divider circuit to avoid clipping, and I measured the front tweeter signal this time too. Most importantly, I measured at different volume levels (15, 20, 25 and 30 @makemerush). That's because a lot of Honda vehicles have been...

I just did my first oil change and found this nice form online for keeping records of the maintenance you do. I like doing that with my cars to help me when I eventually go to sell them. You could just write it all down on a sheet of notebook paper or something, but I think handing a folder...

I'm thinking of relocating my console USB port to inside the glovebox, then putting in a center console from an LX and installing a 3.5mm aux jack in the spot where the USB port is in mine. Would someone mind posting a pic of the spot pictured above in your LX so I can see what it looks like...

Back before I bought my car, I read the owner's manual online and thought I remembered you could switch between the two cruise modes, but once I got my car I couldn't see any obvious way to do it and thought I'd just misread or misremembered. Finally today I decided to check the manual and...

It bugged me that the light in the center storage pocket is white while the light coming from the overhead ambient LED is blue. It seemed even more out of place after I added the OEM console and footwell light kits, since their light is also blue. This is really too simple for a DIY, but I'm...

For those of you getting static at the beginning of songs from your iPod connected via USB, I finally found a fix. I noticed it never happened on songs that didn't have album art, and there was more static for songs with higher-resolution album art than ones with low-res art. So, I deleted...

I was reading through the service manual online and discovered that the Touring has an SPDIF digital output on the headunit that runs to the amp. No mention of whether it's standard PCM 2-channel audio or some sort of nonstandard multi-channel format. So, that'd be cool if you could pick up a...

I just got my Touring yesterday and today decided to RTA the speaker-level outputs to see how suitable they are for adding a sub. I used an old Honda speaker wiring adapter to hook to the connectors for the rear mid and sub, ran that to the input on a M-Audio Pre, connected to my laptop with...
