This page contains the complete 1993–1997 Honda Del Sol radio wiring diagram for the Del Sol (chassis codes EG1, EG2, and EH6). Use this guide when installing an aftermarket head unit or troubleshooting your factory stereo in a 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, or 1997 Honda Del Sol.
The Honda Del Sol (officially marketed as the Civic Del Sol in its early years) was produced from 1993 to 1997 as a targa-top two-seat sports coupe and was the spiritual successor to the CRX. It was available in S, Si, and VTEC trim levels in the United States. The Del Sol used Honda’s 5th generation Civic-based EG platform and shared its radio connector with the EG Civic hatchback and coupe. The factory audio system was a single-DIN head unit with 6.5-inch speakers in both front doors. Because the Del Sol is a two-seat vehicle with a targa top and a small cargo area, there were no factory rear speaker locations — all factory audio is routed to the front door speakers only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wiring harness adapter fits a 1993–1997 Honda Del Sol?
The Honda Del Sol uses Honda’s standard EG-platform radio connector, the same as the 5th generation Civic hatchback and coupe. Metra 70-1720 Wire Harness Adapter is the correct harness adapter for the 1993–1997 Del Sol across all trims (S, Si, and VTEC). This adapter is widely available from car audio retailers and allows a clean aftermarket installation without cutting the factory wiring. The Metra 70-1720 part number is confirmed to fit all Del Sol model years.
Does the 1993–1997 Honda Del Sol have rear speakers?
No. The Del Sol is a two-seat targa-top sports car with no rear seat and no factory rear speaker locations. All factory audio is routed to the two front door speakers only. The compact cargo area behind the seats has no speaker mounting provisions from the factory. Adding audio to the rear of the Del Sol requires custom fabrication — some owners mount compact speakers in the rear side panels of the cargo area, but this requires new speaker wire runs and custom brackets.
What size are the factory speakers in a 1993–1997 Honda Del Sol?
The Honda Del Sol uses 6 1/2″ Speakers in both front door panels across all trim levels (S, Si, and VTEC). This speaker size is confirmed by multiple community and parts sources. Standard 6 1/2″ Aftermarket Speakers are a direct fit in the factory door locations. Speaker mounting depth is worth verifying before purchasing, as the Del Sol’s door construction is shallow — select speakers with a mounting depth under 2.5 inches to avoid contact with the door internals behind the panel.
Does the 1993–1997 Honda Del Sol have a factory amplifier?
No. The Del Sol did not include a factory Amplifier on any trim level — S, Si, or VTEC. All speaker output was driven passively from the head unit. This makes aftermarket radio installation on the Del Sol clean and straightforward: connect the Metra 70-1720 harness adapter, plug in the new head unit, and the two front door speaker channels are active. No Amplifier bypass, no additional adapters, and no extra wiring required.
Is the Honda Del Sol radio opening single-DIN or double-DIN?
The Honda Del Sol has a single-DIN factory radio opening. A standard single-DIN aftermarket head unit installs directly into the factory opening using the Metra 70-1720 Wire Harness Adapter and a compatible single-DIN trim ring or dash kit for the Del Sol. Installing a Double-DIN Head Unit requires a dedicated double-DIN dash kit or custom dashboard modification, as the factory opening does not accommodate a double-DIN unit without alteration. Single-DIN units with flip-out or motorized screens are a popular choice for Del Sol owners who want modern functionality while maintaining a clean dashboard appearance.
