Default Re: Adding powered bazooka to stock 05 unit ?

[So you haven't had any issues with the battery or any other part of the system with all that extra draw? I want to add my class D 200W amp to power a sub I have, but didn't want to screw with the system at all. ]

Didn't do anything different than on my 95 Cutlass with the power. I located the amp under the Passenger seat. If you want to do the same, have fun with routing the wires under the dash and carpet.


[And what about the wiring? I read you have to remove the battery for that. I don't want to void any warranties ... Did you have Honda do it or check with them at all? Please give more info. ]

Wiring to the CD changer in the trunk, and wiring the speaker wires back to the amp was a challenge. No, you don't have to remove the batteries. If you lift out the back seat, you'll notice there is a bit of room on the passenger side of the car to route your wires. Not a lot of room, but enough to squeeze the RCA's and power for the changer, along with speaker wires for the Sub. This is not a fun project. I had the luxury of a friend who had done this same install through his work at a car stereo retailer.
