What NOT To Do When Installing Car Audio On Your Honda Civic

Hey hey hey everyone, it’s me once again, your old buddy Gatlin from Carphonix here in beautiful London Ontario Canada.

I know we talk a lot about car audio installations. And that makes sense, right? Car audio is a big part of what we do here. We post a lot of videos on car audio, to give you a better idea of what to look for when choosing your car audio installation shop. And I know a lot of you are DIY tinkerers too, and that’s cool. I got started that way too.

But look, there’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things. And this customer here, he definitely did things the WRONG way.

He brought in his 2000 Honda Civic, and look, this thing is an electrical nightmare. At one point it had some Lamborghini doors, which were then taken off. But when it had those doors, they had to extend all the wires from the door into the body of the car, and they did a pretty crappy job of it. So this job is a bit more than what we usually do.

I’m going to have to take the entire fender off to rewire it, as well as rip out the hack job that was the car alarm system he installed in here. Oh man, what a mess.

Aside from the absolute mess of wiring, some of the upgrades in this are actually pretty cool. Or at least, they were when it must have been done back in 2005 or so back when everyone was Tokyo drifting.

Just wait until you see what’s hiding behind the bumper on this thing. Anyway, what are you waiting for? Click the video below to check it out.
