Replacements for Stock Subwoofer / Process?

[joemama1717]

I have a bad subwoofer which blew my amp. Got my amp replaced with an amp from a '17 si and now I want to replace my middle rear deck speaker. I don't get watts and power but I just want something to replace it and for it to work with my stock amp? Any help is appreciated.

Did you use the supplied harness/connector for the signal to the sub? Or, if not, where did you tap for the signal?

Edit: it looks like this is the complete drop-in subwoofer replacement and includes the adapter for my '20. If anyone knows of any issues with this, please chime in.

Supplied harness fits

I'll look into this one. It can work with a stock amp?

Sure does. Just make sure you have it wired for 2ohm load

How would I do that?

I thought the one I got was just a "plug-n-play" sort of deal with the cable that goes into the stock one. Unless I'm just totally confused because I'm totally new to anything audio related to a car.

You still need to do a wire from + to + and - to - on the dvc sub in addition to the black to - and white to +

If I have to do soldering, I have no such equipment, i'll try to look for some videos

You don't need to solder. The speakers have spring loaded terminals

OP, here’s my DIY on the drop-in Kicker sub, info collated from posts around CivicX. I also detail how I wired in a mono amp to power only that sub, leaving the OEM amp for the other speakers. Sounds much better than stock, and coupled with Viper 4 Android in the head unit, it’s !

LMK if you have Qs!

Here's a post to help you visualize wiring your dvc sub in parallel to make a 2 ohm load
