    seriously though man if you can't figure out how to pull a head unit you probably shouldn't be trying to do any installs.

    here should just be a few screws and some snap clips that hold in the bezel around the radio. then a few screws holding in the radio.

    Have an installer do it you will mess up the dash doing it because there are some screws at the bottom by the ashtray and then you have to pry out the front face of the whole square unit and it is hard a hell and while or if you get it out get the serial number off the radio and call honda for a radio code because you will need it if you are going to unplug it.

    Hifi Buys would work. My V-Dub just uses two tools and pops out. But I have never tried to work with Hondas.

    there might be 1 last screw behind the clock. slowly pull the trim out if it feels like somethign holding it back trace to where it is holding it back and there's probably a screw or a giant dildo holding it back son.

    How about you take those wires back off the woofer and hang yourself with them.

    I bet that would sound amazing, the sound of you gasping for air as your last breathe escapes your worthless body.
