All working sales where put on hold
(Preview)
Princess Good to hear its only the I4's. I was led to believe it was all the new Accords when I was at the dealer. The sales persons took a public bashing right on the sales floor and all keys where rounded up for all Accords at that time. All working sales where put on hold. One salesman admitted to reading t...

the speakers alone were a major improvement
(Preview)
Yes, new speakers alone can make a big difference. I had the same sort of reservations, but I'm a believer now. I've considered adding an amp, but the speakers alone were a major improvement.

quality of the overall sound
(Preview)
Yes it does. I started by upgrading the four main speakers. I chose Kicker 2 ways all around based on price and efficiency. The difference was clarity and the quality of the overall sound. Even cranked up they were distortion free where the stock ones were not.

more even sound quality from the rear deck

update: i went ahead and purchased the polk audio db691 6x9 speakers from circuit city. me and a co-worker got them installed in about 20-30 minutes, due to a lack of proper tools. they initially did not line up with the factory speaker holes, but after moving the speaker around, we were able to get all t...

polk audio db690/691
(Preview)
thanks for the input, everyone. i thought about getting the infinity kappas, but questioned whether the accord head unit would be able to safely handle a 2 ohm load. i did some research and saw that others have had good luck running the boston acoustics s95 speakers, which is slightly less sensitive t...

2WAY KAPPA SERIES 6x9
(Preview)
You're on the right path with choosing speakers which are effecient as this would be used with your stock HU.Yes the db might be the "better" than that of the boston acoustics but these two speakers are not going to perform well with your HU. Having a nice looking and nice name speaker is diff...

sound very good
(Preview)
Agree. I think DB690/DB691 are above average speakers and they do sound very good. They are not the high end version but since you are using stock HU, how much difference does it make to go for the top end speakers? I have DB6501 on the front and DB690 on the rear plus a MOMO sub configuration and they are dr...

separate component system
(Preview)
They are both 3way. I'm talking about a 3way vs 2way speaker with regards to tonal efficiency and sound quality. 3way coax configuration is way more obstructive to the midbass driver than that of a 2way coax. Best sound reproduction is still thru a separate component system, each driver has their own...

690's in my car
(Preview)
I put the 690's in my car and they were a nice upgrade over the factory speakers. By the way I'm still using the factory head unit. I got them from Crutfield a few months back because believe it or not they had the best price around and they included the necessary harness adapters so I didn't have to cut anyt...

2008 Honda Accord Price Comparisons
(Preview)
I noticed that pricing for the 2008 Accord had been released at 1AM last night. I spent the next couple of hours getting it into my database, because I knew people would be interested in seeing how it compares when adjusted for features. Only MSRP for now, I'll add invoice when I get that info. I ran some q...

light colored Accords

I am a big fan of light colored Accords. I have had a Seattle Silver 89 LXi coupe, a heather mist 96 EX sedan, a heather mist 99 EX sedan and a satin silver 01 EX V6 sedan. I broke the trend when I bought a Eternal Blue 03 EX V6 sedan but now I'm back on track because this past month I took delivery of a Alabaster Si...

"great car if you want a good nap behind the wheel"

i'd have to get my hands on that new gen camry to see what it does. the last gen did not impress me at all and had pretty much the same amount of rattles, every bit of the road noise, and wishy washy driving feel and left me thinking "great car if you want a good nap behind the wheel" but that's it. th...

I think right now toyotas are more solid in the build quality category and if they had something like the accord coupe that was offered w/ a manual and of the same build quality as the current camry then I would have most likely purchased that. What I'm really waiting for is to see what hyundai does in the n...

pad/insulate during manufacturing

The 7th gen accord drives a LOT more nicely and handles more confidently than past generations, but I just can't help but wonder about the quality when I hear some of the noises that I do. I don't have a lot of rattles, but the ones I do have would have been very easy to isolate and address DURING manufactur...

1991 CRX Si

1991 CRX Si (Dad's last Honda. One of last sent over before del Sol took over. Most fun Honda by far. Awesome and just plain cool to drive and be seen in. Looked like a little black rollerskate. Broken into twice, but put back whole each time. Dad sold it with 21K miles in 1998 when he retired. It was as perfe...

1986 Civic Sedan-5spd (Dad's first exposure to modern day foreign car... was amazed at every aspect of it. He thought the 1986 Cavalier was a joke by comparison... it lead the way to my parents only owning Japanese vehicles from then on).

(Preview)
I really like my car. I've only owned it a couple of months but it's easy to see how one could become a Honda owner for life after owning their first. It's easily the best car I've ever owned. Let me rephrase that, it's the nicest and best driving car I've ever owned. Not that I've owned very many cars in my li...

I'm currently on my 3rd Accord Coupe. My first was a Pre-owned 82 hatchback (1 owner immaculate, I think the guy cried when I drove it away(he was very anal)). It of course replased his new Accord. My second was a '97 EXL coupe and now a'07 EXL coupe. This of course was over the last 20 years or so, and I've ow...

V6 mt models
(Preview)
This is my first Honda. I came to Honda because of my 05 Mazda6 fiasco that left me very wary of ever buying style over substance again. I'll cant believe how much more of a car the Accord is over the 6, its nuts that I went to the 6 in the first place to save a few bucks. I'm talking about the V6 mt models.

Honda Lifers....?

I am waiting to see the new 08 Accord in person before I make my final decision, but based on the looks and drive characteristics of Hondas that my friends own, it is very likely going to be my next car. I am curious, how many of you are first time Honda owners (Accord or otherwise) vs how many are Honda lifer...

Winter Performance/Lack of CD-RW Capability
(Preview)
I'd have to say the stock tires on my 2007 Accord are the worst performing tires I've ever experienced in snow driving conditions. My car was 2 months old (read, brand new tires) when I took a trip into snow conditions this past Winter, and the service provided by the stock tires was flat contemptible. F...

more common rattles in my car

I'm not too sure that they have all been ohio accords. I remember a few people saying they had J vins and still had rattles, and a number of people who have no rattles and who's accords are made in ohio. Maybe I'm wrong though. Having chased down and exprienced all of the more common rattles in my car, I thin...

Hey, that's not fair, no one invited an Acura TL owner to this thread! I'm sure that going from your TL to anything is a let down. The first time I heard the system in my bosses' 06 TL with a DVD audio I bout lost my mind. What a system! There is no way in hell the Accord system comes close to that one. The system i...

I am at 22K with no problems and the treadwear is probably 1/3 to 1/2, so I wouldn't expect any problems reaching 45,000 to 60,000 miles with the factory tires. Something I have only been able to do with a Honda over the years. They are not high performance tires, but are very capable for daily driving wit...

stock system was great

I still have mixed opinions about the stock stereo. I have only been driving my Accord for a little over one month but I have installed multiple after-market systems in my previous cars. I once owned a 2000 Accord EX and thought the stock system was great. I just added a head unit and the speakers were mor...
