I got an ef civic and will be transferring all my audio equipment from the hatch over to it during the next few days. I will be taking lots of pictures along the way, and would be more than happy to do a DIY write-up if there is any interest. I will be transferring over my amp, subs, speakers, and headunit (basically an entire system). Anybody think this would be a good idea?

That would be a good idea. I'm sure a few people on IA have set their cars on fire from bad installs before.

If it's not too bothersome, by all mean go ahead. I'm sure it'll be useful to lots of people.

I mean you don't really have to be stupid to set a car on fire either, there are some things that would seem fine to do to 90% of people that can fuck your shit up. Like when I did my first install I put the fuse in the trunk instead of near the battery, it seems harmless but there is a chance you will walk in your garage and see a burnt pile of shit where your car used to be.

Yeah I always keep mine within 6-12 inches of the battery. Putting it in the trunk kind of defeats the purpose lol

Headunits are super easy, especially in hondas. To save yourself a lot of time and aggravation, get a plug'n'play harness from wal-mart or bestbuy. You simply wire this harness to the harness for your CD player, and then it plugs right into the stock plug.

A car's electrical system is the one thing I will not DIY on for this reason lol. I will install bulbs and that's about it. One day this might change though, as I am wanting to do an LED gauge cluster conversion sometime.

Just be careful. Read up on what you're doing and take your time, it's not that intimidating.

Sorry about the delay, it's all done and the pics are taken. I will get it thrown together as soon as I can.
