Thank you for clarifying that point.

Malk · 18th August 2006, 17:41

antiron · 20th August 2006, 15:09

Please help.....

Thxs.

Pottsy · 20th August 2006, 15:25

Grab the panel at a bottom corner, and pull with a quick, sharp, sudden action. It will pop off.

antiron · 20th August 2006, 15:28

Thxs pottsy, you are a greatest master of civic.

sco77harris · 20th August 2006, 16:46

As per Potty's email +ve is light blue on the passenger side, the driver side +ve is grey. At least that's how I have connected it

Barryjm · 30th September 2006, 22:45

Now completed my upgrade to Infinity 6510cs speakers in the front. Took approx 3 hours in total. Thank you to all on this thread who have posted guidence and photos.

I'll post how I get on with them once I have had chance to listen to them. I also want to tackle the rear speakers, it seems as if there is a race on to see who gets to this first???

Unfortunately I forgot who; but somebody has already done this! Identical to the front speakers.

In my opinion it took a while for my speakers to get "settled in" you will see a post about me being dissapointed with them; but 2 weeks later they seemed to sound infinitily (see what I did there?) better.

Barryjm · 1st October 2006, 21:00

Like the 'infinitily' joke.

With respect to the rear speakers, they are co-axial so did they use the Infinity Co-axial speakers or the 6510cs and bolt the tweeters onto the door somewhere?

The rears now sound very muffled and dull compared to the 6510s.

The 6510s are very bright even when wired through the 3db option on the crossover. I am currently using the bass setting at +6 and the treble at -3, hopefully, the base with improve as they settle in. Even so, they are a huge improvement over the standard fit speakers and a huge cost saving on the manufacturer fit options.

scol78 · 1st October 2006, 21:08

What kind of speaker can i put in the rear to give me a bit of a bass boost as the Infinitys are very tinny

"No".

Went outside and bumped into a mechanic, who was happy to lend me a cross head screwdriver. 2 minutes later the panel was off and both the tweeter and woofer removed. Back to the salesman, now looking in the hole.

"Nothing will go in there mate".

Nothing at all?

"Nothing except an "Exile" - they're more than £200 and they are as thin and small as those in there now, and I'd have to order them specially".

I had walked in, wallet bulging, I took the door apart for them and still he wouldn't help me.

Back to the drawing board

Speakers are OK - yes there's an option to improve, I think the price is on the Honda website. Car going very well - about 9000 miles.

VaTaR · 2nd October 2006, 08:37

Sorry if this Question is allready asked but does anyone know what the original speakers are?

- What brand?
- What the Peak power and RMS-values are?

It's because i bought the 2.2 sport and i don't have it yet, but i want to know if i need to save for other speakers or not

I have 2 subwoofers from my other car so if it's only base that's missing.. it's no problem i think?

Sorry for my bad english, i'm from belgium

Pottsy · 2nd October 2006, 08:46

Vatar,

Your english is better than some native speakers here!

The speakers have no brand name on them, though I seem to remember the tweeters having a power rating on them (can't remember what it was though). The woofers are the cheap plastic type, with a tiny magnet (though I think it's one of those rare earth types). They have no proper crossover.

They sound OK, but no more. The speaker upgrade is just a very well spent £100 or so.

thanks Pottsy for the quick reply

I guess i'll have to hear it myself also to see if it's good enough for me

Now i only have to wait on my car.. damn, i didn't knew waiting could take SO long

I agree with Pottsy, the standrad speakers are OK, if you are happy with OK.

The upgrade to the Infinity 6510s however has made a big improvement for approx £92, and 3 hours of my time.

I also used to get a lot of buzzing from MW reception, when listening to 5-Live, this has now gone.

As for the Honda upgrade, I just wasn't prepared to spend £350 to upgrade just one pair of speakers.

And although I've not heard of anyone having heard both the BassWorks and the Infinities; the BassWorks (£350) have had ALOT of complaints, the Infinities haven't!

The tweeters are 4 Ohm 15 watt.

Changing over to infinities has been one of the best 'mods' I have carried out so far

HURMUND · 8th October 2006, 23:33

There is a new listing on e-bay fpor Infinity 6510CS speakers at £49.99! I'm going get some myself and get a shop to fit them (looks far too complicated for me!)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MakeTrack=true

Does anyone know what model speakers are used to replace the rear speakers???
