  1. Remote Bass Control vs HU control?

    Putting in a small sub and amp combo in the Si this week as well as new front speakers. Unsure if I need to bother routing a bass control knob or if i can use the SUB settings in the head unit? Also when setting the gain on the amp, should the HU sub settings be maxed out? Alpine MRV-M500 RF...
  2. Confused about upgraded stereo

    Hi, I'm contemplating a new (or almost new) Civic 1.5 Turbo Sport or Sport Plus hatchback. I'd like a half decent stereo and I'm trying to understand how much of an upgrade the improved unit in the Sport Plus is over the standard. I'm a little concerned about some of the negative comments on...
  3. My experience thus far with Civic X...

    In a phrase: not good. So a few months ago I picked up a 2017 Civic Touring sedan as I needed a vehicle to commute approximately ~50 miles each way a day to work. I ended up getting a great deal on the car, but after driving with the car I'm starting to wonder if there was a reason for it...
  4. Replacing 2016 Touring Stock Subwoofer

    I'm interested in replacing the stock Subwoofer in my Civic. All of the threads I've found have just added a second sub in the trunk. Is it just too much effort replacing the stock sub with a new one?

The speakers will go, deadener will be applied, 2 subs will be added, 2 amps and a sound processor (also with some other custom molds for undisclosed goodies). The subs will go in the 2...
  6. Upgraded sub in factory location of Hatchback?

    I have a 2017 Hatch Sport Touring. Has anyone installed an aftermarket 8" sub into the car's factory location. I see threads talk about adding a sub but those include enclosure modifications. If you have dropped a new sub into the factory location I'd like to know your experience. Did the sub...
  7. 2017 hatch sport touring subwoofer performance?

    Hey all! Just bought my first car a week ago and I'm so happy I was able to make it the 2017 sport touring hatch. I've noticed the OEM subwoofer (sport touring only) is rather weak and there is no way of adjusting the audio settings (or even an equalizer). Has anyone upgraded their sound system...

    Has anyone upgraded their speakers and found that they now have adequate bass? OR Those who have upgraded their speakers, do you feel you still need a subwoofer to get the bass you want?
  9. Where to ground AMP 2016 Civic

    I have followed a number of threads discussing sub and amp installations in the 2016 civic and those threads have been very helpful with my installation but I have a few questions. 1. Where is the best place to ground the amp in the trunk? Could someone take a picture of where they grounded...
  10. 2017 Civic Hatchback - AC, Shifter Backlights and Blue Interior Not lit

    Hello Everyone, I spent the entire weekend installing an amp and subs into my 2017 Civic Hatchback.

  11. LX '16 Subwoofer Settings ?

    Like the title says, wondering if there's a way to get some control over the sub I added. I know there's some app for better EQs, which are of great help, now if I could just cut the bass to the speakers (some kind of high pass filter ?) or control the sub level on it's own without having to...
  12. Touring high power subwoofer replacement

    Hello forum! I have taken and exhausted the possibilities to get decent clear base from a woofer in the stock position of our 2016 Honda touring civic sedan.

    Looking to upgrade my stock audio system with a subwoofer/enclosure/amp combo for around $400 as the stock system currently has little to no existing bass. Preference would be a trunk setup that is compact and one that is quality over quantity when it comes to the levels of bass that I am...
  15. Subwoofer Rattle (Quick fix)

    As I've viewed the comments on the subwoofer rattling I figured I'd add in my two sense. I'm a self proclaimed Audiophile and I think the Civics sound system is actually quite superb. However, here's what I've noticed and this could possibility be affecting your experience: Song Quality: If you...
  16. Front speakers vs Rear Speakers

    Before I installed anything other than the speakers in the car I noticed that the BACK speakers in my rear deck sounded awful compared to the front speakers. Does anyone have any documented facts that the front speakers have a different signal being sent to them than to the back speakers? It...
  17. DIY Subwoofer Rattle Fix

    So I got my touring back in December and needless to say I've seen some small fixes (whether it was local dealership/shops) to the annoying rattle from the subwoofer (Standard on all Touring Models). SO I've been debating for awhile on whether to take her in or just DIY. Called a few dealerships...

    Has anyone found out if their is sufficient space under either one of the front seats for an integrated self-amplified subwoofer?
