yes... but you also have to remember... there are several diff radios offered to civic owners, some of wich dont use external amps like the Si's do. In those instances the way you did it is the proper way, but if you civic uses an external amp, this method might work for a (short) while, but you MIGHT burn your OEM civic amp out causing speakers to stop working.
+ no sub control = worse then OEM radio.
and I find the local guys dont know **** about how sound systems really work (unless its a well known install company in the car audio world and even then, most of their installers are idiots), they just know how to run wires and read instructions. I went to college studying theatrical sound and lighting system design and currently design club sound systems, and i used to own a Bass competition vehicle (pushing 151.7bd of bass) so i know a thing or 2 about car audio systems.
