Got it all hooked up! Took some finagling and a call from Crutchfield Tech Support regarding the audio signal, but I did get it working - boy does it sound good! I haven't messed with the settings too much, though the gain is just above minimum... plenty of bass even at that level. Again, I'll...

Gotcha. Yeah I'm glad I did this all myself - beats spending literally $500 to have an audio shop do the work when I can get it done myself for almost less than $200. It really helped watching a friend from high school do my first install in the summer of 2015 - an 8" powered sub from Sound...

Here is sort of a step-by-step of what I did for the wiring: For the power routing from the battery to the trunk, I fed the non-fuse end of the cable through the opening in the foam where the hood latch wiring runs and then curved it around the edge of that frame section shown, eventually...

Just finished the wiring setup. The longest process was definitely routing the power wire from the battery to the trunk. I'll post pictures later when the weather isn't so crappy. All that's left to do is just connect the power, ground, and audio cables to the subwoofer Monday night.

Yeah... I've since noticed the rattle, and it makes anything with bass so unpleasant. I'm putting an aftermarket powered sub in early next week (setting up the wiring tomorrow, hopefully) and plan to use the factory sub wiring for the audio signal. Sooooo looking forward to that.

That's exactly what I'll be doing. I'm thinking of also taking off the trim leading to the trunk next to the rear seats. Between feeding through the grommet and routing in the sill areas, that'll be the longest process.

I ran my previous wiring setup underneath the seats, worked great for me. Probably gonna do the same this time around. Just a matter of loosening a bolt and removing the clamps. But, we all have our ways, right? ;)

I'm gonna be using 8 gauge, which I believe is recommended for the sub I'm installing (P300-10), and that should work fine. I've been doing endless research to make sure everything I've ordered will work for the way I want to hook this system up.

Did you not scrap the paint away where the terminal is connected to the frame? Or is it just covering up where you scraped so it's not visible anyway?

I plan on posting pictures going through each step, like others did earlier in the thread. It looks like @Mgo took the wires directly from the factory sub and connected them using the speaker harness on Amazon. It doesn't sound like anyone who's installed a sub in the Touring models had issues...

I just tested removal of the back seats, and that wasn't too much of a pain, but the trim by the rear seats seemed pretty easy to take off and put back together... that's leading me to planning on removing the trim by the door, the seatbelt, and the rear seats. I'll probably snap pictures as I...

Ya know, that's funny. I've seen that video around YouTube before in the past, but never realized it also showed how to detach the rear seating. Whoo! Thanks. :D

For those of you who have installed a subwoofer in your car, regardless of trim, how did you go about routing the power wire from the battery to the sub (if it's a powered sub) or the amp? I'm planning on feeding it through the grommet located on the left side of the driver area right behind the...

Major thread bump, but I'm really excited about this. I just ordered a JBL GT-BassPro 12" Powered Subwoofer, set to arrive between next Thursday and Saturday. I can't take this factory sub anymore, it's just got no power to it. I was originally going to purchase the RF P300-10, but Amazon...

So I'm preparing to install a powered subwoofer in my 2017 Civic Touring. By now, the entire forum is aware that the Touring's factory sub is shit and has no depth whatsoever. I'm on the fence about the RF P300-10 and 12. Amazon was selling the 10" model for $158.99 up until today, where it's...

I have an appointment at 1pm on April 25th (next Tuesday). Fingers crossed. I'll probably print out the invoice @elykoj shared here and bring that for backup.

I submitted a request to have my vehicle serviced on April 25th in the afternoon, so we'll see what that brings.

Gotcha. I might go to a dealer like 5 minutes away from my college, since the dealer I bought the car from is like 50 minutes away and deep in city traffic.

When you took your car in, did you have to bring anything along, like proof of warranty, or do they have a way of checking that info. themselves?

Whoa... 10" powered underseat sub is very intriguing. Just the normal battery, speaker wire, and ground connection for it, right? I had a friend help me with my previous install back in the summer of 2015, but either I'd do it myself this time or have an audio shop take care of it for a little...
