Honda Car Forum

Hi I bought a 2000 Honda Civic DX from a dealer a few months ago and I have a couple questions on this vehicle. I am trying to install some aftermarket 6.5" speakers into my front doors and I started with the passenger door first it has a plug in type connection I couldnt get the one end off so I cut the wires and tried installing pos and neg, Do I need that plug to be connected for me to use my speakers or should it be working that way? I have a kenwood cd player thats newer then the car and I dont think I blew any channels on it so I am confused. Also my third brake light (the one in the middle) it blinks 5 or 6 times before it stays lit up. When I was trying to get a replacement bulb the guy in the store said that is not normal, Should I worry? I do have aftermarket tail lights but my middle brake one is regular and I prefer it to stay like it is.

Just to clarify the stock speakers that came with the car are Pioneer TS-06198zh 4 Ohm 15 Watts

Replacing them with some 6.5" Lowrider Brand Speakers supposedly 18 watts

you dont need the plug. You need to cut it off since the aftermarket speakers dont have the plug.
