Awesome video. Love how well explain everything is. I just finished installing my rear speakers unluckily for me mine is a coupe hahahaha, removing the rear deck lid and placing it back is the hardest thing I've ever done to this car😂😂
FYI, I reused the felt backing on the stock speakers by putting them on the back of the new spacers to prevent any vibrations. Also, do you not have the 1" tweeters on the top of the dash at the base of the A-pillars? I didn't bother changing mine because I couldn't find any direct fit aftermarket speakers and the OEM Honda's were overpriced. Lastly, where did you source the rear stabilizer bar?
Re-using the felt is always a good idea... the more protection you have against rattling, the better 👍. My LX doesn't have stock tweeters (I checked just to make sure 😅). But since there is a tweeter mounted on each new speaker, it definitely improved the high & mid range sounds overall (when compared to the factory setup). And finally, I found the rear upper shock tower bar on Amazon. The brand is Ultra Racing and they make a lot of different chassis reinforcement products for the 8th Gen Civic. ultraracing-usa.com/product/honda/civic/
Great speakers for sure! Just installed them yesterday but I am having a slight problem where the whole audio system cuts out if I open or close the door sometimes it comes back but it still goes out so I'm trying to figure out the problem there... but for sure great sounding speakers would recommend relatively easy install.
@LevelUpMechanics it is all the speakers in car that go out. When I open my door they usually work fine but when I'm driving they work for a bit but if I hit a bump they go out...I can usually get them to work again If I smack the door but it usually goes out again.
I know for sure I didn't knick any wires when drilling. When I put the left side in first everything worked perfectly fine it wasn't until I installed the right side passenger is when I had problems. I thought that it could be a faulty speaker so I switched places and still had the same problem... I'm really hoping I can figure this out because it has been bothering me all day 😅
@LevelUpMechanics nope me left speaker was blown when I got the car and the right speaker started going out so that's why i bought the new ones to replace them.
Thanks! Currently, I have truhart shocks with eibach lowering springs (1" lower in the front, 1.2" lower in the rear). I have a lot more civic videos to upload, so make sure you stick around 😁👍.
I have a question with my 08 civic coupe mine originally came with the premium audio system and the right half of the speakers in the car went out all at the same time and then now im down to just my ome speaker in the driver side door even my sub that came stock with the cars premium system went out as well
I went ahead and just replaced all 4 speakers at once. You can always just do 2 at a time though, if you need to space out the cost. All 4 speakers are exactly the same, so it's up to what your personal preference is 😁👍
So I seen other comments where you said has their premium sound system...did all honda have that premium sound system in all their cars or where they select cars? Because I have a 07 civic hybrid with the navigation head unit and I'm not sure if they came with that or not unless they all came with a premium sound system with Amps and what not...just a question I thought I'd ask
Not all 8th Gen Civics come with a factory premium sound system. Some (like my LX) came only with a basic sound system. A good way to know what you have is to go to crutchfield.com and select your vehicle (and answer the questions about your vehicle specifics). Doing so well tell you more info about which factory sound system you have. I hope this info helps! 😁👍
Where did you get the screen for the civic? And the front windshield trim? If you can leave us a link because I need to add those 2 things to my civic. Please and thank you.
I had to order the roof moldings (which also act as the side trim for the windshield) from a Honda dealer... they were not cheap 👀. Now I know why the previous owner decided to fabricate their own trim 🤣.
You can still upgrade your factory speakers 😁👍. I would highly recommend checking out Crutchfield's website and putting in your vehicle info for more detailed information about your Civic, but the process of upgrading your speakers is pretty much the same. www.crutchfield.com/
@@LevelUpMechanics okay, thanks for your reply. I am in the process of redoing all my speakers in my civic SI four-door 6 1/2 inch kickers and a 8 inch subwoofer, 600 Watts rms would the factory amp be able to provide that amount of power thanks.
Honestly, I am not sure at the moment (in regards to the subwoofer). My civic does not have a factory amplifier, so I would need to do a bit of research to figure out the specifications. I'll see if I can find the answer..
From everything that I'm seeing, it looks like you may need to upgrade to an aftermarket amp in order to power an aftermarket subwoofer. The options of upgrading the factory subwoofer (while retaining the factory amp) are EXTREMELY LIMITED.
Yes, I ended up purchasing all Honda OEM parts. New OEM roof rail moldings (including all new clips) and "door tape" for all 4 doors. Trying to remove the old "door tape" turned out to be extremely difficult and unnecessary. I found that as long as you cleaned the surface first, you can just put the new "door tape" on the existing tape and it will look brand new again. I have all the part numbers lying around somewhere here lol. Do you think a video covering all that info would be useful / helpful?
You can also just buy garage door bottom seal and stick it in there and cut it to fit the windshield clips that’s what I did took 5 minutes and looks great
No, you don't lose bass. These coaxial speakers have great high & mid-range sounds with pretty decent low-range too. They are definitely better than the oem speakers I had 😁👍.
i do not have the premium sound system. just the base civic. will my head unit be able to power these ? i also want only want to switch out the 2 front ones. not sure if there is a impedence diff with the rest of the system and would that cause any issues@@LevelUpMechanics
@@LevelUpMechanics hey there I've just installed a Pioneer TS-G1610F on the front doors & did noticed some improvement like the sound is clearer and a bit louder, bass improved a lil as well. I do have some follow up questions though hope you won't mind! Scenario: Planning to install two more for the rear part. 1. Can I use a different model? For a example a JBL this time around. Would there be any complications? (Although I'm leaning towards buying the same model as the one on the front doors). 2. If I decided to install an aftermarket headunit as well, can I expect the sounds to be "more" better compared to the stock HU? Honestly want a lil more bass. But do I really need a subwoofer for that? (Let's assume I already have installed the 4 speakers and an aftermarket HU). P.S. Can you recommend a headunit that'll make my sounds better while not being too pricey lets say 100-200 dollars maybe.
@tutuy-mm2be I'm glad your sound quality improved 😁👍. 1. You can totally use different speakers for the rear. You shouldn't experience any complications. 2. An aftermarket head unit could definitely help to improve overall sound quality. 3. Upgrading your rear speakers will definitely improve your bass sounds. Although, I must say that the JBL Basspro Nano subwoofer that I have for my setup makes the bass sound 10x better. 4. I really don't have any experience with any $100-$200 budget-friendly head units that I could recommend. You'll probably have to do a bit of research to find one that will suit your needs & budget. I would definitely do some research on www.crutchfield.com They have a lot of good info and all sorts of head unit options to research. I hope this info helps! 😁 👍
@kevsimoes gotcha 👍. Yeah, if all your other speakers are working fine (no buzzing or static), then chances are likely that your tweeters just need to be replaced. 😁👍
The speakers include the brackets. If you want to buy the connector pigtail that is compatible with the OEM connectors, that item is not included. The speakers do come with universal wires, so if you know how to spice/ solder wires together, you can do that if you want to. I hope this info helps! 😁 👍
Hey guys I just finished the install of some aftermarket speakers and everything went so smoothly but after I got everything buttoned up my radio is seems to be on but the only speaker that seems to be putting out any sound is my sub. Any thoughts are appreciated.
I would probably begin by checking fuses to see if any are blown... If all the fuses are good, I would then start testing each speaker for power / continuity... I hope you are able to figure out what's wrong 🤞
Absolutely, yes 👍. In addition to the regular 4 speakers, I do believe the factory premium sound system also includes 2 tweeters (located on both corners of the dash by the a-pillars) and a factory subwoofer...
If new speakers are to heavey for headunit to power, they will strugle to kick, Also if one of speakers gets wired in reverse it will cancel out any bass and sound distorted up loud, Check sensitivity and rms rating of new speakers Higher sensitivity, and as near to 20w rms as possable
I honestly do not know the specifications for the 8th Gen Si stock speakers. These Pioneer speakers are definitely a great upgrade for base model Civics with the standard audio systems. But as far as the Civic Si premium audio system goes, I do not have any first-hand experience (as of yet).
Soon 👍. I will be installing a Tacoma Lifestyle 3rd brake light, and then I have some additional parts for the Tacoma currently ordered and waiting to be delivered. More taco content will be out soon 😋. Just knocking out some civic videos while I wait for everything to arrive.
Just finished replacing my old speakers and it went great, couldn't have done it without this video!

I had a great time changing my old speaker with this tutorial.
big thanks for Kris

Thinking about getting an 8th Gen and I already have all of those tools minus the door panel pry tool. Thanks!
No problem 😁👍
If you order from crutchfield they send speaker adapters that fit like stock. No drilling required anymore.
That's good info to know! Thanks for sharing! 😁👍

It could be the speakers... or it could be the amplifier... but unfortunately, I don't have a definitive answer...
its better to replace all 4 ? FOr my LX the front are gone, so iw as thinking maybe buy a set of 4.

No, Civics that come equipped with a premium sound system can still retain / use the factory amp with upgraded speakers. 😁👍

Are these speakers better than the stock ones that come in the same generation civic Si's ? Thinking about putting these on mine.
