brianw90 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 1998 accord 4dr looking to upgrade the stock speakers to get some extra thump. does anybody know what size is in this car? any suggestions on brands on what or what not to get and read somewhere i might not have to take off the door panels, is this true? i would like to put a sub in the trunk too but i dont think i can afford to lose the space so i wanna get more powerfull speakers. and ill prolly keep the stock head unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 You're not gonna get any more 'thump' out of speakers. For that you need a sub (you can get a reasonably priced package). But I asked for the best quality and got Boston speakers. You should def get a better deck though too (I say Kenwood, Pioneer, or Alpine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Eclipse, Alpine, or Kenwood Head Unit Eclipse, MB Quart, or Boston Acoustics Component Speakers w/ Crossovers 2 small amps to run the component speakers. 1 for right side, 1 for left side. Rockford Fosgate Speaker Wire that set-up would be hella loud and you wouldn't really need a sub, but you'll spend an arm and a leg for that...

Jeffro Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I think it really is amazing how much difference a good head unit can make... Especially if it has an equlizer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airjordan223 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 how are xplod or pioneers people say xplods are trash, but i installed some in my friends jeep and they get the job done for the money. if youre just looking for some speakers with decent sound for a good price, id say xplods are fine. if you want something with better sound quality, go with something else. i have infinitis and they are really clean. you should probably get a new head unit also, it really does help a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90IntegraC1 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 you can get Alpine's for the same price as explods...i had explod's when i first got my car, didn't like them at all. no mid's or low's, all high pitch crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that would be 1 for the front, and 1 for the rear. Alternatively, you could go with a 4 channel amp and run all 4 from the same amp.

brianw90 Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 i went to best buy they had the rockfordpunch, alpines and pioneers. outta those three which way u think is best. so far i hear alpines are a good way to go. i want something with some good bass and im now considerin a small box for the trunk one more question. what should i look for, i noticed some had more watts but lower rms and some had higher rms and less watts. anybody know which one would be better to have the higher in? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Cole Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 i like eclipse. i had an eclipse deck and speaks in my old accord wagon, they were very nice. complimented by two 12" JBL subs in the back, that thing hit like there was no tommrow. i got a sweet deal on those subs; subs,amp,box for 300 flat. sweet stuff.

B-Bomb Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I have xplod amp and 10" sub and it isn't great, but its not bad for the money. I ONLY got mine because I couldn't hear crap over my car, lol. So if your car is real loud, then fine quality differences are barely going to be noticeable.
