I'm taking the stock deck out of the 08 Civic so I can put in a sub and I have a few questions.
1. Is there anything plug and play for the deck install? It's a new pioneer deck. Or will I have go the crimping route?
2. If I do the crimping, the deck has a wire for ground that needs to be attached to the frame or metal. Is that something they are putting on newer decks? I haven't seen that before like on my Integra, Element or old civic.
3. When running the wires for the sub to the trunk, are there 2 wires that shouldn't be touching or close to each other? Like the positive wire and rca? I thought I've heard something about that.
4. I used the rear antenna as the remote wire. Is that okay or should I run it to the deck? I planned on using a loc and already ran the remote.
5. Is there a recommended length for the sub ground wire? I found a perfect oem ground but it's probably 4 or so feet away. I don't really want to drill and create my own. But if I must, I must.
Thanks yo!
