I used the included crossover that came with the tweeters shown here
Have you listened to it without the filter? I bought the component kit that comes with the tweeter, woofer, but not that high pass filter that connects only to the tweeter.

I have not.
I upgraded the door speakers and tweeters. I expected a night and day difference but it's only marginally better.
I need to get an LC2i and route the sub to it.
And now I learned I need inputs to it from the front speaker OEM amp outputs.

you need to use the filter else you'll kill the tweeters.

Still looks line ctr to me probably get more attention that grill never seen that one is it custom
I like the overall shape of the R and its power train but I prefer a more subdued look so I removed/covered up the wing and exterior red bits. Just a personal preference. The aftermarket grill is both functional and cheap from eBay.

don't understand the purpose of buying an R to then want to revert the look but hey to each their own
Mainly got it for the power train and improved chassis for driving fun. I can live without the flashiness as a personal preference. It's all good.

Thats true i dont understand either but if it attracts to much attention that means people like it so dont understand the hate on the ones that dont have it
No hate but all love and respect for people who don't have it and can tell it's a CTR without the obvious badges and emblems.

It is very interesting for the one that own civics hatch touring want to make their car to look like the r, and the r want to look like regular civic hatch, but your grill is still looking aggressive for regular hatch though, sneaky but good I like it

Going stealth mode to avoid unwanted attention. Plugged the holes with white Gorilla tape. May plasti-dip over it if it collects too much dusts.

I'm going stealth mode to make it look like a regular hatch to draw less attention. Wing is permanently removed for now. I've removed the front and back R badges because I don't want people to steal them. The rear H was covered up for the same reason so I plasti-dipped it instead of removing it by breaking the pegs.

The final stage will involve pin-striping (black) over the red on the wheels and aero package. Did one wheel already.

Cool. Do what makes you happy for your car. ... I know when I drive the first thing I spot from a mile away and I go there is a type R is not any of the stuff you have changed. The hood scoop is a dead give away you can see from blocks away in oncoming traffic. Any plans to do anything with scoop or side vents?

Should be able to get it from Honda. One came with my auto dimming mirror wiring harness, that I ordered from my local parts dept.

Nice...one note to pass along is that there is a screw hole in the sequential brake lights that lines up with an OE screw hole that is unused in the reflector fitting (as mentioned on the FB post). The screws I used fit diameter-wise but were too long, so I used 3 washers to make it tight. Just a thought in case you come across the same issue
