PLEASE HELP!! Today I endeavored to replace the center speaker. Actually, installing it was simple as pie, and the disassembly was simple.

Now, the BIG FUP! In reassembling the front panel, the one that has the hose that attaches to it for the 2 front a/c vents, I inadvertently pulled that hose too hard trying to reattach it to the panel. So, now it is disconnected from it's source end under the dash!! I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is supposed to attach to!

I even removed the panel piece below the steering wheel to get a better look. No joy. Cannot figure out where to connect it!

So, until I figure that out, the dash must remain disassembled!

I beg you guys, please help me out here!

What I figured to be about a half hour project, is now indeterminate, as I don't know where to connect that hose.

Please help me if you can.

Thanks.

Lol I don't know where it goes. I tend to break things so my car went into the shop to get the work done. It may be condensate lines so check the bottom of the vents. See if there's some sort of nipple.

You need to get the signal from the front speaker channels. Or else you will loose your phone call audio. If you keep the centre channel connected to stock you will keep phone calls there only. The rear signal is extreamly processed and will sound terrible amplified. You need to sum front, mids and tweeter along with the sub to get a full spectrum signal. For the left and the right.

okay got it. I thought the factory rear speakers were damaged or something, turns out they are just like this. Okay in this scenario I will loose the front and rear speaker control in the settings(it doesn't matter to me ) and should should I keep the balance dot in the center or all they up to front speakers ? and then I have to run new wires again to front speakers ? and one more stupid question my amp is [email protected] for 4 channels and one pair of speaker(Focals) is also exact [email protected] so this is a good approach ? if I set gain too high accidently will it blow my speakers ? JBL is [email protected] so there is 15 watts and 1Ohm difference so it can bear if more input will be provided, right ?

One last thing, now LC7i and 2 amps are consuming power from battery car, do i need a spare battery for this ? When does one need a spare battery ? (just a general rule of thumb)

Sorry I couldn't get back to you guys yesterday. Yes, I did figure out where the tube goes. And, even with small hands, was not a joy to reattach! But, doing the speaker was the easiest part of my day yesterday, hence me just getting back to you now.

Thanks to all!

"Balance dot" is fine in the middle, because you sub channel is considered rear. So if you fade forward you'll loose that signal. Yes you will have to run new wires to your speakers. Power and impedance wise, you will be fine as long as you set your gain correctly. Look up "setting gains on amp" on YouTube and there is hundreds of videos on the subject. I personally like the oscilloscope way. And you are not running alot of power so you'll be fine with just one battery. But the OEM battery in our Hondas suck. I'd replace it with a good AGM. I'll post links on the oscilloscope and battery I use
