Another to the point thread. What speakers do you all recommend to replace the current factory speakers in a 2007 Sedan EX-L 6 cylinder 6 speed manual with NAV/XM/CD, looking to improve the sound quality over factory. The car supposively has the "Premium Audio System" but not sure what th...

Any recommendations on a reasonably priced installer in the Westchester or Long Island, NY areas? I'm not looking for anything too crazy, mostly just installing the speakers, amps, etc. Thanks for your help.

The Aux adapter plugs into the factory radio's CD changer input. When you press the CD button twice on the factory radio it activates the CD Changer mode. You use the RCA out on the aftermarket radio to connect to the Aux box. I tapped into the power wire of the factory harness. The harness that comes with...

Ok trying to get advice on this subject, i want to keep the factory 6 dick cd player in with the a/c and hvac controls and i want to add an aftermarket cd player (because the factory does not push the pioneer speakers i have at all) what should i do with the power/speaker setup? should i just run new power and...

Sophia · Sophia

I didn't ask for much really. Since the buyer was local, and I knew him, I told him to find me a mag and just pay me the amount that mag costs so I can buy that sub. So I just basically wanted to break even. Price? it was under $310 shipped with paypal fees. What makes me angry though is the guy i bought the mag fro...

oh i'd bet it's worth the money, it's just too expensive for me being in college, i can't dump $400 for an alt. yes i have money for my car too, but $400 isn't just pocket change, we'll see how it works out, i hope the 135 will be enough, if it's not i could pick up an additional small battery or try and sell the r...

The SE was RE'S SQ line, it was the first re sub i had ever owned, i loved it too death. then i wanted something a bit louder, so i got the SX. I got those 2 while RE was sill selling direct. SX was loud but it could not compete SQ wise with the SE. RE is a great company, even with the price hikes now they are worth th...

I'm considering the same thing, that is adding a 4 chanel amp and upgrading the speakers. I added a powered subwoofer last week and the "domino effect" has begun. I plan to leave the tweeters in place but run the amp to the new 2 ways going in the doors and out back. I'll be using an amp with speak...

Genette · Genette

I would disconnect the OEM tweeters. If you run the OEM tweeters with coaxials up front and three-ways in the back, your sound's going to be overly bright. I had the same speakers in my Accord. I wound up changing out the fronts to Reference components and I'll be disconnecting the OEM tweeters as soon a...

Callie · Callie

anyone have any input on these speakers... there two way and i want to throw them in the back of my 07 coupe and i was wondering if anyone has or has heard of these... i want to keep the factory deck so let me know wht u think

Dina · Dina

Check out Crutchfield to get speaker ideas. They're helpful especially for getting speakers that will fit the depth of the front doors. With teh stock headunit, be sure to get a speaker that has a high sensitivity rating, measured in db. The higher the number, the less power they need to generate volu...

Just joined the forum. This is now my fourth Accord (1981, 1986, 1991, 1998) and fifth Honda I've owned. Bought my 98 Accord LX a few days ago. Didn't think the LX had the factory Honda CD unit with 6 speakers (2 component on dash, 2 in front doors and 2 in rear deck lid). But it seems to be installed, but with...

I'm thinking about putting in 2 MTX thunder 12" subs in my 7th gen. Just wondering how big of an amp would I need to power them? And any recommendations on what brand of amp to get?

If I'm not mistaken, any iPod/Mp3 interface that displays text info does so by emulating the XM Tuner, right?

Sidney · Sidney

I'd been thinking about the Dice iPod integration kit for some time now, but have been skeptical of what info the "text display" would actually consist of and if it would even work with the nav display (since the only pics I could find were for non-nav).A few weeks ago I'd also considered the...

Jacquette · Jacquette

This is also my first post so Hi!! Im looking at the HD dice kit, the unit itself is rather large 4"x6" rectangle, they make extension cables to give more legnth between the headunit and the box. It also requires a antenna which I would assume goes on the rear window. It looks to be the only solu...

I have a 2005 EX-L Coupe (non-nav) The CD changer in my car will not play songs in the mp3 format, however it will play discs made from mp3's by a program like iTunes or Nero and put on a CD-R or CD-RW. The easiest way to convert mp3's to the standard CD format is to use iTunes. Create a playlist then click the b...

Hi Gang - I was driving home yesterday listing to some old Depeche Mode thinking how good the stock system sounded. I was really wondering if the new speakers would make that bit of a difference. Well, I found some time last night to install the Boston Acoustic 6x9s into the rear deck. What a wonderful di...

Carson · Carson

Christine · Christine

Crutchfield definitely has tons of info. along with great tech support. They also have really good sales every once in a while. I was able to get the Infinity Reference speakers (two-way 6.5 in the front and three-way 6X9) for $50 a pair. They even had the Infinity BassLink with the expansion card for $...

Loraine · Loraine

They will definitely play clearer. Using my words, they are much more "musical." The sound just jumps out at you. As far as volume level comparisons, I'd be hard pressed to say, mainly because the sound is so different. If I was forced to guess, I'd say the Bostons sound at least as loud as OEM...

Here I go buying stuff before my Bush check gets here! Maybe I should have put a little more with it and got the Kicker solo, but it's here now. I just need an amp. Your recommendations would be appreciated. A remote bass control would be nice.

Hey folks, This weekend I'm planning on changing out my stock speakers for some from Infinity's Reference line. I really like the look of the factory head unit, so it stays. The plan is run 3-way 6x9s and 2-way 6.5s from a Autotek 100.4 4-ch amp. I'm aware that I should expect to do some cutting in order to...
