My friend has a 02 Civic and trying to install a highs amp to the stock deck that dosent have high level input. To save the trouble of popping out that pain of a cd player is there an easier way under the dash to have access to all of the speaker wires? Thanks much!

Easiest way is to grab left and right speaker wires at the rear speaker locations, or whichever speakers will be closest to the amp. Twist 18 or 20 gauge wire, solder into the OEM speaker wires at or near the speakers. Run the twisted wire to the amp location, attach to the line output converter. Then run short twisted RCA's to the amp. Use different color wires to make the twisted wire, so you can tell what the polarity is. It's best to use a "high quality" LOC, with adjustable gains.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
Thanks man for the link. I know the rear is easy access to run the speaker wires from the amp but I was more concerned about running the speaker wires to the front speakers without having to pop out the cdplayer. Just to see if there is an easier way under the dash or somethin.

I wasn't describing speaker wires from the amp. I thought you were running a line out converter off the factory head to an amp. I was describing the way to do this without having to either pull the deck or get under the dash to grab the speaker signals.
