Basic Pioneers are good and all Eclipse are good. I run a 8443 and its the best on SQ, but the buttons do take a little bit of time to get used to cause it lets you do alot of customizing.

Ismar, The HU is definitely a thing to be changed out but depending on what your immediate needs are you can put it off. If you just want some low end to hold you over, get the sub/amp. The HU will do the most change for your internal speakers. If i were you i'd get an ED 13kv.2 for around...

o i rated the max RMS for speakers, as far as decks go, look no farther than 15RMS for a factory. 30-40RMS is a high rating from a HU, and if you have a add-on amp i'd say 25RMS and thats about it. If you get aftermarket speakers to run off the HU coaxials are all you'll be able to run, no...

is there anything coming out of your driver tweet? Check it at the connection for the tweet as it may have come loose on one end and check the amp. Where's your tweet located at? I forget in an Acccord, in the door or the sail. They're all pretty easy to take off since they usually have one...

look into a Eclipse AVN2454, is expensive but probably the better NAV HU out there.

just look at Infinitys lowest end speakers and thats a rough guess, usually a little lower than them but i'd say 75RMS max for larger speakers and 50RMS for 5.25s and say 20RMS max for tweets.

yeah thats the one 8250 i believe. Its not much in terms of features but thats why its designed for larger setups. Most people get it for the DACs and build and then buy an AC DQS or the RF EPX2 with upgrade chip for EQ features. I believe the Denon model will not work in the US only the RF one...

ask your shop to mix and match if they can. Buy a Audiovox Prestige unit and a DEI brain. I got mine for 150$ installed. It has keyless entry for the doors, nice loud alarm, and if you want you can buy the actuator for a trunk release(if your trunk doesn't already have one). I think it'll be...

yeah sounddomain had released some of them a month or two ago. They are very nice if you're going to get a nice install. Won't really do much for you if you're going for a small setup. I'd get CDT before any company. I have all hard dome, i think its titanium, tweets and they are better than...

ok, well i'd say ditch the HU, i know its not the RF HU's like Denon now has but can't remember if it was JVC who was building there's before. I'd replace that with a new HU, Pioneer or Eclipse. Since you have some EQ piece already you don't need to buy a high end HU, could get the Eclipse 24...

Boston Acoustic 6x9s were better IMO. Also try Polk Audio, the Momo line is very nice and can take a pretty good beating.

they should not have a problem but if you're that worried work on getting a full front stage and get rid of the rear speakers.

the LP-1 remote is wired in between the crossover and the tweet. You just need to find a place on the dash to mount it in or some place to get access to it.

unless you get something to make an enclosure for the 6x9 it won't really work. You'll need to seal the entire 6x9 but in doing so you need to make sure its the right enclosure size and thats its solid like a sub box. Plastic won't really do any good for it and polyfill won't stop the SPL from...

wow you got hooked up. I suggest spending 20-25$ to get an LP-1 CDT tweet remote which will greatly improve the SQ for your components. This allows you to cnotrol the sound of the tweets ensuring they don't overpower everything when the volume is turned up. I bought them for like 20-25$ a piece...
