I have a set of speakers for my 1800 but my shop manual hasn't arrived yet. Can someone help me with finding and identifying the correct plugs on the wiring harness (I assume that they are built in?) Thanks,
Tony in SC #105753

That too was an option on the 2001.

The connector(s) are under the seat inside a black plastic protector.

Thomas, the speaker connector is a black, 4 pin plug inside the LH (as you are sitting on seat) black plastic boot near the relay box. Other distributors may have better speakers, but you can't beat Honda's kit with instructions and the exact harness to ease installation.
The price is steep and it breaks my heart to think that "X" years from now, an SE will be on the market with all these goodies standard. I just spent a small fortune (a lot more than the best car I ever owned) trying to make my 1800 approach the level of comfort and function that I had with my 2000 SE.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Jim and Brian. I just thought that if I was going to pay big bucks for speakers that I might as well buy big buck speakers! I found the connector and just need to know which wires are which (left + and -, and right + and -). I have a matching connector to use. I realize that I could have been patient and waited for the shop manual with wiring diagrams but it seems that Helms doesn't get in any hurry. Thanks,

Tony, from the schematic,
RR SP+, R/Y
RR SP-, Br/W
RL SP+, Bu/Y
RL SP-,Gr/W
Sorry to have left that out. Jim
