I have a '96 Civic EX and I am also trying to run new wires and it's looking to be a task. A friend who ran wire in his car is going to help me do it this weekend. If I have any luck myself, I'll take some pics and post a short guide because I couldn't find one anywhere on the net. If someone does know where one is though, it would be much appreciated.

 

what amp are you running that putting out 111x4. And what speakers do you plan on using, And on the tweeter there is a cap to block the low freq from distroying the tweeter. sort of like a x-over. Your not going to be able to snake thru a plug. Take the plug apart and drill thru the unused part and pull it thru. I don't think your really going to use that much power.

 

If you turn off the tweeters up high you may gain some imagine but you probably loose staging. The music will probably be more focused but everything will seem lower. Its a trade off you make. It would probably be hard to get good stage height without at least kickpannels.

As for the power its always better to have more headroom imo. It seems to really help with dynamics. As long as you don't keep it cranked and blow the speakers. Are you afraid of the wire melting or something? Is that why you dont want to run the amp to the front speakers?
